While I have had extensive periods of enuresis since my teens, I am now in a place where my body seems to process stress through incontinence.  It became a problem when I couldn't stop from uriniating in public.  At first i had the sensation that I had to go, but couldn't stop it.  Over time I have had less of a sensation that I even need to go and have suffered atrophy to a point where I am choosing diapers over surgeries and meds.  I feel blessed to have an incredibly supportive wife and have only recently (after two years of this 24/7 incontinence) come to a peace with where I'm at in life. 

 

Wearing diapers gives me a confidence to get through the day without worrying about leaks or embarrasing accidents, of which I've had my share.  At times I still have to fight off bouts of shame with wearing and at times I'm convinced everyone can hear my diapers, but I know this is not the case. 

 

For those out there suffering with finding the right combination of products to give you confidence, I highly recommend some form of onsie for adults.  I have found these give support and help discretely keep diapers from creeping into view.

 

I hope I can be an encouragement to those in a similar place in life and know that without my wife, this would be far more difficult a lifestyle to embrace.

 

Blessings!
