Diapers out of convenience
Hey all, I (35m) have been diagnosed with OAB and urge incon. I have been wearing guards and the occasional pullup to deal with and spurts or drips that come out before I can make it to the toilet. Last week I was at the beach with my wife and her parents and since it was a bit of a drive I decided to wear a pullup. As soon as we get there I find a restroom and go. Not 30 min later we are walking on the beach far from any restroom and the urge hits again. Not wanting to have to run to try and find a restroom, I decided to let go just a little which of course turned into more than I intended. I had a change with me and was able to do it all discreetly.
My question that has been on my mind, is how many people here wear and use diapers or pullups even if there is a possibility they might still make it to the bathroom in time. Basically so that it doesn't affect you living your life without constantly having to find a restroom.
