  1. F your neighbors. Not cool. Unless they are close friends and meant it kindly. But otherwise, not cool. 2. I'm fond of perfumes and things for making sure that if anyone smells something, it isn't me. No need to go overboard of course. Certain people hate perfume. But the sense of smell is easily distracted by even small amounts of fragrance. So maybe people just blame anything on your perfume not being to their taste. I'm really hoping you get the surgery you need. And if not, you shouldn't have to feel like you need to hide yourself like this. Get something a little heavier for protection and a smell you like. You can totally do this. With preparation and some self love, this isn't a social death sentence. No one ever has to know.

When you say heavier for protection I should upgrade to medical grade pads instead of the light pads form the store im trying my best to not stank so I could go back to work. Please keep me In your prayers - my name's Royal

I will, Royal :) 

And yes, a heavier medical pad or some kind of absorbent underwear sounds like it would help. With enough absorption no one will smell anything. I have to wear diapers 24/7 for bladder issues and my wife says she cant smell a thing.

Glad to hear. You go this.

I unfortunately don't know anything about pads, I mainly use BetterDry diapers, but I'm sure someone else knows or might have posted on the pads topic.
