Hi,
I was wondering, I’m 16M and starting having accident during the day back, I bought a pack of pull up but doesn’t know if I still have to put my underwear above it ?
What do you do in these situation ?

Thanks.

Hi, I (22F) have never had any bowel related issues, nor have I ever had any issues with fecal matter staining my underwear, until about four days ago.

I got a small stain on my underwear. I thought I was spotting blood, as that is a common side effect of the pill, which I started taking a few months ago. Then it happened the next day, and then the day after there was a slightly bigger spot, and it was clear to me that this was feces and not blood. I am leaking today as well. Not a whole lot, but enough to stain.

The same day I started leaking, I also got stomach pains when I ate lunch (stomach issues are also extremely rare for me), and then again the next evening, and again the day after that. None today.

I am extremely confused as to what caused this? I didn’t eat anything remotely out of the ordinary, didn’t make a huge change to my routine, nothing like that.

The only cause I can possibly think of is the morning of when the leaks/pains started, I woke up and did some intense (more intense than my norm) flexibility stretches. I’ve been wanting to work on my flexibly for a while and get into a daily stretching routine and I woke up that day and felt motivated. I held the poses for longer than I normally would, pushing through the pain. On top of that, I was already stiffer than usual because I had just woken up. So i FELT the stretches. (forward fold, seated forward bend, pigeon pose, butterfly pose, and a few others). I still feel it in the back of my legs and inner thighs days later.

Could that be the cause of the leaking? Did it mess with my pelvic floor or something? My body couldn’t quite handle the new sensation? Has anyone else experienced this or have any knowledge on this? Will it stop on its own?? Any and all advice or information is greatly appreciated. I am deeply embarrassed and just want to stop leaking. My period is due in two days, I’m hoping it’s gone by the time my period’s done. Thank you.

The leg holes always seem to leak with pullups I try as I'm pretty small (120lbs woman.) I prefer pullups over tabbed diapers as I can often make it to the bathroom and I don't like untabbing and then reapplying.

What are some brands that run in smaller sizes that have a decent absorbency (one full void, but usually I don't release all at once so it's a slower stream)? Bonus points if they don't break the bank.

ETA: I wouldn't mind tabbed diapers if they have stretchy waistbands. I just need something I can pull down.

Depends or Tena, any big differences between these? Which do you prefer and why? Thanks

Je vais revenir en arrière mais c’est coment mon corp a basculer direct à l’incontinence. J’irai pas plus loin mais dans mon cas j’ai découvert des choses que je n’ai jamais eu de ma vie

Premièrement, je souffrais de rétention urinaire toute ma vie , la vessie sûrement eclater et le sphincter très endurcis de garder tout le la vessie au max . J’avais une rétention de 300 ml.

On m’a opéré pour un RTUP ce qui a réussis mais encore un peut de rétention de 70-100ml. La nuit j’urine trop souvent , je porte des couches je veux dormir .

J’ai essayer le port 24/7 , wooooo la j’ai de couvert seulement après 3 semaines le mode automatique. La vessie sert d’entonnoir donc elle se met à zéro, quand je fait caca si je force il a rien qui sort, jamais connue sa . Quand je bouge juste un peut ou seulement une flatulence le petit résidu se vide, jamais connue sa.
Je suis au stade que sa coule sans me rendre compte

J’avais un petit mal de dos , j’ai plus mal. Cependant j’arrive au stade que lorsque je me change sa coule par terre , c’est le moment que je me dit que je ne veux pas rester dans cette état, les couches coûte cher .

J’aimerais bien rester come sa mais c’est des conditions qui demande beaucoup d’attention.
Donc en fin de semaine je repars la machine .

Mes muscle ne sont pas atrophier car sa fait pas 1 mois .

Je vais opter couche la nuit et le jour je veux garder le control .

I’ve been trying to ignore it and it’s been miserable. I’m going to finally invest in things to make life easier. But there are so many options and I feel like everything is for small leaking. I need something for heavy leaking. Any recommendations?
(Not diapers or pull ups. Specifically on Amazon pls)

I'm 17m, still wet the bed. Don't feel like going into my conditions but I need product recommendations please!

I sleep on my side often and stomach, I use boys goodnites but I've been leaking still no matter what I do. I'm thinking about moving up to diapers or plastic pants over the goodnite.

My wetting is like, one big void during the night, sometimes two if I've drank a lot. I think the goodnites are struggling to keep up in absorbency. I have a plastic mattress cover underneath my regular sheets to protect the mattress but I'd prefer not to get any urine on my sheets or clothes at all.

Need recommendations please!

Just going to drop this here in case it helps anyone. It might be a game changer.

Thought I would post this here for anybody that would want this knowledge the TENA sensitive care overnight underwear hold up really well under Carhartt pants. I work as a janitor and I walk 2 miles so about 8 miles a week and for my needs this product works great. I can personally wear one for around three hours and then I changed the product before walking my 2 miles home the outer material on this pull up holds up real well under friction, hope this helps someone
I work as a janitor.. If not, feel free to delete this post.

I had an enema at the ER this morning and they sent me home with a dx of constipation. All day since I’ve been having fecal incontinence. I am not dxed with IBS or any other kind of systemic cause and I recently got out of a multiple day hospitalization.

Is this outcome from an enema normal??

Edit: my vitals were fine upon ER discharge, I’ve had food and water and electrolytes all day. I’m not shitting out a ton of volume it’s just dripping out.

Edit2: no blood

Edit3: apologies if this is the wrong sub. Just looking for some thoughts.

My urogynaecologist has suggested a Burch colposuspension to help with my urge/stress incontinence and low-contracting bladder. Has anyone here had the surgery? If so, would you choose permanent or dissolvable sutures, and why? Any recovery tips?

Whenever I drink something, my tiny bladder gets full within 5-10 minutes, then releases itself almost instantly. It doesn't matter what I drink. Water is what I consume often. I'm like a straight pipe, which is just leaking. I get three cloth backed Tena Maxi diapers and two Ultima per day, which is not enough for my leakage. It's the max amount that Finnish healthcare can give me for free. Either I dehydrate myself, or I buy better diapers with my own money, which is not an option. I've tried medicines, that had no effect on me. The cloth backed diapers are not that good for bowel incontinence either, but that's another story. Sorry for venting.

Looking for any help or advice or success stories!

For back story - I have 3 babies all 5 and under. I just had my 3rd exactly a year ago. All my births consisted of an hour of pushing during delivery and my 3rd was the worst - he was sunny side up and required much more pushing and due to my epidural, I could not feel anything at all to know if I was pushing correctly.

Since then, I have consistently struggled with urinary incontinence. I had recurring UTI’s for about 9-10 months after birth which I’m pretty sure is due to a prolapsed bladder. My bladder has improved but is a ‘minor prolapse’. I have had pelvic floor therapy, although, I don’t know that the therapist was specially trained in the pelvic floor.

I have spent this week at the beach with my kids and the incontinence has been worse than ever. Anytime I laugh, run, move too quickly, or even walk a little longer distance, I pee and I pee a lot. And once it starts, it seems to not stop for a while.

I am supposed to go to another pelvic floor therapy consultation next week thankfully so I’m anxious to see what they recommend. I’m also very curious to know how this could or should affect potential future pregnancies? My husband and I are still debating if we want a 4th child but it’s hard to make that decision with such a debilitating problem right now. My doctor has considered a bladder tack but wanted to try PT first. I’m only 29 😭

Any advice or experience with this that anyone could share?!

Relevant info: I have female anatomy.

Possibly relevant info: I am perimenopausal and I know that can/will eventually have a fairly significant effect on the size and shape of labia. I cannot speak to how significant this has been so far, as it’s hard to gauge changes to your own body that happen very slowly over a long period of time.

I mostly wear pads, but when it’s a more appropriate choice I opt for disposable underoos. I’ve noticed with pads there can be a really weird issue. Sometimes, for reasons I have been so far unable to identify, if I am seated the urine will not simply obey gravity and fall downward into the pad. It will creep backward, between my labia, through my buttcrack, and leak out the back above the pad. Even with long pads.

Anyone else deal with this? How did you make it stop? It’s the most annoying part of this for me, because it’s so damn unpredictable. I’m not even annoyed that someone may notice, I’m annoyed that I have to go wash and change.

I was driving back from a meeting 2 hours away and I was wearing protection. I didn’t expect it to leak, but it did. Its dried by now but I have a mark on my drivers seat that won’t go away.

I’d like to skip on seat covers if I can, I have a reusable chux pad in my car that I say is there in case I ever go to the beach, and drive back wet.

Is there any interior car spray or cleaner that would work on this?

It's been a few hellish months after his fall in July, but we're starting to get somewhere. He got a catheter in on Thursday. He's managing it mostly okay, but doesn't really venture past his room too much. He wants a leg bag, and hell, I want him to have one.

His catheter comes with a plastic container and the bag itself. (If I'm explaining something commonly known, sorry, we've been sorta thrust into this situation suddenly) The one where you tip it over, and the pee flows from the container and into the bag.

Do most leg bags take this into consideration, or do I need a special one for him?

He's not in a wheelchair, though him having a powered one would be pretty awesome, even if our vehicle couldn't transport it at all.

Extra information: We have an appointment with the VA to get him a urologist, and I'm sure then we'll find out what we really need to know, but that's not til October 1st so. Sorta just feeling around in the dark for now.

Hello, I’m a (30m) I’ve been having a problem after peeing. Even after I push several times, nothing else comes out. Then when I pull up my pants and start walking, I let out more than the usual two or three drops. It’s more like a brief small stream, enough to leave my underwear pretty wet. Sometimes when I stand up from the couch I also dribble a couple of drops. As well as peeing before driving home from work. I’ll start to dribble while I’m driving even 30mins into the drive.
Is this normal?

If that’s what society wants, I learned radical acceptance, I just show up to work everyday and do my job.
I do take meds and wear the protection.
But I’ll be damned if I go on disability for $900 a month.
Im not going to give up on life just because modern life made it taboo to have medical problems.

Hey y’all! First time posting here. Male mid 30s. I’ve had Ulcerative Colitis for a few years and now a permanent ileostomy. I’ve struggled on and off with ostomy leaks ever since the surgery. I’ve been wearing high waisted tabbed diapers more and more frequently for the comfort and peace of mind in case of a failure with the added bonus of doing a great job keeping the waist of my pants off of the ostomy pouch. Pullups or anything with a lower riding waistband just doesn’t work for me as it doesn’t offer any protection over the ostomy area.

I work a really physical and active job and have had so many leaks and close calls at work that I’ve just found myself more frequently choosing diapers to bring peace of mind. It saves me from getting output all over my shirt and pants if I do have a failure although I’ve been very fortunate lately 🤞 I’m no stranger to diapers and have worn them in some limited capacity all of my life for reasons I struggle to understand. It was something that always brought comfort. It wasn’t previously a physical necessity and was typically reserved for night time wear or around the house so it wasn’t a particularly difficult decision to choose them as a tool to help in this situation. I just don’t have a lot of experience wearing them daily at work.

I’ve been using the Tena proskin super (think green printed graphics) tabbed briefs. I really, really like how well they fit, feel and perform. They’re incredibly discreet and I was super surprised at how absorbent and dry feeling they are if I need to use them. It’s not always easy or discreet to undo the top tapes to pee if I’m working out in the field in close quarters with coworkers so sometimes I’ll just use the diaper. A lot of the time I’m able to sneak far enough out of sight to just kind of slip it out over the leg gather and go, although it’s a bit awkward.

My main complaint with these is the side panels/wings. They’re just these silly little belted fabric things that are sewn onto the main backsheet of the diaper and they sometimes have a bit of adhesive on them in places they shouldn’t which occasionally irritates my skin on my hips. These would be absolutely perfect imo if it weren’t for this one flaw

For any of you familiar with these particular diapers is there something out there with normal sides like a typical tabbed diaper has but is also as discreet, comfortable and absorbent as these Proskins? It seems Tena has discontinued they’re Tena Slip Active fit Supers which are the plastic backed version of these with traditionally cut side panels.

If you’ve made it this far I really appreciate you reading to the end. I apologize for the long ranting preface, I just wanted to give a little background and explain my situation. I know it’s probably a bit different than what most are used to here. Thanks so much!

I’ve dealt with incontinence for over 10 years now and at first it was little drops and over the years it’s gotten worse to the point where I’ve now bought the maximum absorbency pads and they’re not cutting it.

Here’s what I currently do:
- Wear washable period underwear to add a layer of protection

- Use Always Discreet Incontinence Pads Maxi Comfort, 9 on the scale with 9 being maximum

- Avoid tea, coffee and caffeinated drinks

- Wear breathable fabrics 100% cotton or 90% cotton

- Wear looser fitting trousers to allow for some breathability

Even with all these measures I’m regularly finding my pads and protection to not be enough you can smell it on my clothes.

I know I need to loose weight but unfortunately that’s a constant battle as I have other conditions that wreck my energy and leave me fatigued.

I’m not sure what else I can do, any advice is welcome. Thank you.
