Dealing with Overactive Bladder: Seeking Advice

Amazon has bed pads. We purchased a couple every month until we have 8. They are cloth, comfortable. I find now that I have been dealing w/this for over 5 years: I drink a lot of water. Honestly my bladder spasms less when it is being used all the time I always carry pads in bags or my purse. When I was first struggling w/this, I tucked an extra pad in the waist band of my pants. Then I wasn't caught w/o a pad when needed and walking was an issue as well. I stop drinking ANY kind of caffeine by 4 pm. All my close people know. Usually I am able to take care of everything when out in public. This week, I was away from home and with my mom on a medical trip. I made it to the bathroom only for bladder and sphincters to let go before I got my pants down 😡😡😡 I called out to my mom who came w/my bag and due to constraints in the stall, I needed help to change w/my braces etc. I also had a coworker I could trust. To grab my stiff and help w/brace and shoes. Always buy the long, super absorbency. We all have days that are terrible, play around w/other sizes for light days. Remember to take. It easy on yourself. I also learned, a lot more women in their 40's are needing incontinence products than I ever thought!!!

Great idea! I seem to have a large amount at one time. Sometimes…actually, most times… embarrassing volume = leakage!!!!

I wear a pad to bed…. And during the days. 😕😒
