I have been incontinent for about a decade now, due to strong urge...

I had a near-disaster with some friends last week, which I thought might be of interest here. I just arrived home from work and was taking off my wet diaper when the phone rang. I heard a work colleauge (and good friend) talking into the answering machine, asking if I wanted to go to dinner. I picked up the phone and said yes, only to be told that she and her husband were already pulling up in their car. They were at the door in seconds! I didn't have time to put on a diaper, so I pulled up the lycra brief (I wear for tight support) and jeans I was already wearing.

 

Dinner was fine and I wasn't too nervous, since I had easy bathroom access. The service was fast, so we weren't there very long. As we finished eating, I went to the bathroom without incident. We left the restaurant within about 15 minutes. Driving myself back, I started to feel the urge to urinate again (already). I was very close to home, so I assumed I would make it.

 

Right as I made it to the door, I had a soaking accident. I was by myself, thank goodness, because we went to the restaurant in two cars (so they could head directly home). It was a close call, though, since we talked about just taking one car. If we had, I would have likely had an accident in front of them.

 

My work colleauge is a very good friend, but she doesn't know about my incontinence, or that I wear diapers pretty much all the time. She almost found out the hard way...
