Apologies for my lack of posting, Lockdown and Coronavirus have not had me motivated to post any new content. However with the announcement of the slow easing of lockdown restrictions I have decided to start posting again. I'm obviously still here, still living with incontinence and dealing with the everyday challenges it throws up. Hope …

Transition from Pullups to Nappies
Accepting the fact you need to move from pullups to nappies can be hard. Pullups are more normalised, less embarrassing and seem to be more accepted. Yes pullups are easier to buy and most supermarkets actually stock them on their shelves. They are more discrete and most now days are disguised to look like regular …
Unwanted urination whilst changing.
This is a little embarrassing to write about but oh well. Sometimes my bladder chooses the most inappropriate time to leak. Its all fine when protection is being worn but there are times when no protection is being worn such as stepping into and out of the shower, walking from bathroom to bedroom after showering …
Nappy rash and skin issues.
Not a great topic to chat about but here goes. Wearing nappies (I am calling it a nappy because that's what it is) 24/7 is bad enough on its own but then throw the issue of skin breakdown and nappy rash in there and you have a whole new can of worms! Lets face it, …
Disabled / Accessible toilets.
I have mentioned this before. I use disabled / accessible toilets whenever I can to change as they provide a more private place in which to change an adult nappy. There is normally a shelf to put supplies on, a dedicated bin for incontinence waste to go in and space in which to actually change …
A little rant!
It annoys me so much how companies make money out of products needed for medical conditions. Yes we have the NHS that can provide some products but as I have mentioned in previous posts the products they agreed to supply me just do not work, leak and make me constantly worry about leaks, places to …
Nappies!
Nappies are unfortunately 100% necessary for me. Without them life would be miserable, embarrassing, and fairly damp! I have tried to get away with less absorbent products such as pullups, shaped pads etc but they just don't work. At the end of the day its better to wear a product you trust rather than one you …
Tesco Fred and Flow wipes
So I have mentioned before that wipes can be expensive especially the adult orientated ones. Yes the adult ones are made larger but they also cost triple the price if not more. Because they are larger the packs are also larger and not that convenient for putting in a bag for the day etc. I …
Hiking, long walks etc
As I have mentioned in previous posts I am fairly active and enjoy being outdoors. You have probably already realised that I don't let having to wear nappies get in my way! Nappies or any incontinence product do pose a bit of an issue when spending the day out walking, hiking where one may not …
Hotels
From what I read online there are lots of people out there worried about staying in hotels when suffering from incontinence. There is no need to worry and why should you worry? Its your own private room, no one else is in there you can just carry on like usual. Yes its not your own …
