Got strip searched at the airport

24 Upvotes

...and actually my whole trip was perfectly fine. Was anxious about going through the airport for the first time in a pull-up rather than a pad. Got a letter from my urologist about my OAB, emailed the airline/airport and had a hidden disability added to my ticket. Arrived an extra hour earlier than recommended just in case. Changed into a dry pull-up right before security. Disclosed to the technician on the body scan that I was wearing a pull-up pad.

They never looked at the letter, just took me aside into a private screening room with a witness.

I signed a consent then they asked me to take off my outer clothes so I was just wearing a shirt and the product. They ran a wand over me and did an explosives swab.

Whole thing took about 3 minutes and was way less of a big deal than I thought it would be.

I've had agents give me a harder time and delay me for longer about my keychain screwdriver to be quite honest.

I was allowed to carry an extra carry-on bag with my supplies, they gave me an aisle seat near the toilet, I was on pre boarding so I could stay near the toilet while everyone else boarded, the crew warned me when we were about to leave/descend so I could use the toilet before the seatbelt sign came on.

I didn't have an accident the entire time (unlike last time I was on a plane).

Just thought I'd share a positive story on this sub for once!

Peed my Pants in Savers

21 Upvotes

Throw away acc for obvi reasons.

I take pills for my bladder spasms and I forgot to take them today. I did not realize this until I was out and about.
I had the day off so I decided to take myself out to get an iced coffee and go thrift shopping.

While walking around Savers a spasm hit. Thinking I had taken my medication as usual, I thought it would pass. Boy was I wrong. I leaked a little bit in my pants. Thankfully I was wearing black leggings.

I stood in the aisle looking like an idiot with my legs crossed, waiting for the spasm to pass. But it wasn’t passing and I leaked more. It was at that point that I realized I was peeing my pants.
I ran out of there leaving a trail of small puddles behind me.

Because I didn’t take my meds, my bladder didn’t hold much. So I only peed maybe a quarter cup on the floor.

Sorry to the employee who had to clean up after me.
I ran out of there so fast I wasn’t thinking straight.

I'm beyond tired of shitting and or pissing the bed. I'm ready to try diapers. Just for sleeping.

I'm looking for ones that don't tape so I guess pull ups?

Best Reusable Diaper

6 Upvotes

I have PTSD and have had nightmares that have caused bedwetting. It doesn't happen too often, but enough to cause issues. I have on a mattress protector and a reusable pad. What is the best reusable diaper on the market?

What to expect with my Urology referral (UK)?

3 Upvotes

Hiya everyone, I went to the GP the other day and have been referred to the urology department (GP said it's urge incontinence/overactive bladder).

I've been experiencing symptoms for a good while (over a year) and I'm wondering what I can expect at my actual urology appointments. It sounds a bit silly but what will they actually do?

I would love any advice from people in the UK! I'm also a female in my early 20's so it would be nice to hear from anyone else experiencing the same thing.

PROTEC briefs

3 Upvotes

Has anybody had any issues with PROTEC briefs not being very communicative lately? I ordered a pair back in July and loved them so I ordered three more on September 24th, but have yet to see any delay or shipping emails or responses to my inquiries. I understand they are probably not mass produced and the adult market is probably not as big as child market, but it would still be nice to receive some sort of communication.
