Trying the Confiance Elastic aka Molicare Elastics at work today, they are ok but i had to change 3 times, but for chilling at home i think i prefer my good old Slip Maxis :)

A bit damp at work. But this diaper can definitely contain more leakage.

Uagh - I leaked. At work. Again. Not because I changed too late. But because I rode my bike during the break to go shopping and got on the saddle too quickly... Luckily I still had a 30 minute break after I noticed it and was therefore at least able to get my pants mostly dry, take off my body (with wet leg cuffs), put on a fresh diaper and place a bedwetting pad on my chair for protection. This definitely wasn't a relaxing break...But it feels much more comfortable now. I have to work for another 2 hours, then I can go home...I should really leave a spare pair of jeans at work. 😬🙄🤐

Wearing diapers, needing a bed pad (chux) or wearing underwear liners for incontinence is actually way more common than a lot of people think. When I started having to wear them, it was really stressful and upsetting until a lot of other people in my life were like "hey, I use those too!"

So if you're having accidents, leaking, having too much moisture, whatever the case may be, try incontinence products. They're totally normal and a part of a lot of people's lives. It's such a relief to not worry about having an accident, you deserve that feeling too.

shoutout to every person who deals with incontinence. i dealt with bedwetting up until my early teens, and now deal with stress and urge incontinence and for years never wanted to talk about it because of the shame and stigma other people place on not being able to control your bladder or bowel movements.

incontinence is a disability. it's not gross or wrong to talk about incontinence. incontinent people are not dirty or disgusting. if we could control these parts of our body, we would. we're not an inconvenience for being this way, and we don't have to be treated like a burden or like we need to be "fixed".

whether or not you use incontinent products like briefs, pads, diapers, plastic bed sheets, or whatever else, you are loved, important, and deserved to be seen when there are conversations about disability awareness and acceptance. we don't deserve to hide in shame when all we need is to be accommodated and accepted.

These feel kind of strange, we'll see how they hold up.

[abena501s]

I was worried my diaper wasn’t going to hold until I was done with work. I made it home.

Incontinence isn't gross. It's still just peeing and pooping. We all do it. And it's not more gross and unsanitary just because a disabled person needs to use different tools and strategies than most people

Before and After, surprisingly, I did not leak but definitely needed a pair of plastic pants for sitting down.

this is your daily reminder to stop being abusive and mean toward people with bladder and bowel issues.

im tired of hearing people mock those who struggle with bladder/bowl control, for people who can't tell when they need to go until it's too late or at all, for people who have uncontrollable voidings and leaking, for people who need to wear incontinence products around the clock, for people who need them influctuating amounts and need different kinds of products, for those who bedwet, for those who can't afford incontinence products so their clothes get dirty- to everyone with bowel and bladder issues.

we are human. we are still people. we are not gross, we are disabled. we are struggling with a disability. if you make cutesy posts about canes and wheelchairs, you need to include people who wear diapers, people who need plastic pants, plastic bedsheets and absorbent bed pads. you need to include people who can't tell when they need to go. people who need/use catheters. people who have colostomy bags. people with stained and dirty clothing. people who have to change their incontinence products in public.

you need to include autistic and ADHD and ND and disabled people who feel unsafe without diapers. you need to include people with spinal injuries and ehlers danlos syndrome and muscular control disorders with need incontinence products and feel safe with them. you need to include people who like their diapers and not just tragic stories where it's never discussed or doesn't negatively impact their life and livelihood.

please include all disabilities in your disability positivity posts, and please be kind and treat all disabled people with respect and humility, including those of us with symptoms you may find "gross".
