I had bedwtting problems as a child and occasionaly into my teens. As a child I wore terry nappies and plastic pants at night up to about aged 6 and was put into them again at boarding school when my bedwetting started again aged 10. As a teanager, I tried to hide it and used a towel as a nappy and cut leg holes in plastic bags as plastic pants. I would probably wet only once a week and could wash a towel out in the bath. From 16 I was reliably dry bar the occasional night after one too many beers. Jump forward 15 years and a spinal injury left me wetting the bed every night and over the next years 35 years - and some three spinal operations later - my bladder problems increased to the point where I have no feeling of needing to go and am now wearing 'adult nappies' 24/7...and I could not be more comfortable with it. No drugs, no catheters that caused me regular urinary and kidney infections, just back in nappies and leading a normal and full life safe in the knowledge that I can manage my incontinence. I can generaly go about four hours before needing a change - I use the TENA Slip Maxi Active fit all in one as I have found them to be the most absorbant and reliable. Some days worse than others and I do have the inevitable occasional leaks, e.g. when sleeping on my side. For me wearing adult nappies is just part of life and they are just my necessary underclothes. They don't stop me from doing anything, quite the opposite, because until I accepted it I was leading a very insular life - not going out, not staying away with friends and no relationships. I am glad to say that was some time ago and I have been happily married for over 25 years to a wonderful person who from the outset was so understanding about by incontinence!
