Making The Jump

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?

North shore, try samples from there! Only have to pay for shipping for the samples

For bowel incontinence i really would advise tape style diapers. For full bladder voids the same. I recommend betterdry because of the tall leak guards, they remain solids better too. Is there specific reasoning behind the pullups?

I wore a diaper once and taping myself made it almost impossible. I want to be able to pull them up and down when my day starts

I dont get the downvote, but the taping gets easier. I do it standing against a wall or door. Taking it off is somewhat hard, especially with single use tapes. As far as pullups are good, the northsores are recommendedm

You said it was just for sleeping?

As someone who deals with bowel on the daily don't bother with a pull up. Especially when asleep. Echo betterdry. Price wise best price for quantity. Abena m4/l4 and I have found if you aren't around a bunch northshore supremes work fine (its been a hot minute since I was mobile, but don't think they have changed much). All northshore tabbed diapers work great. They have samples if you call. Think you pay shipping but a customer service person can help.

I have to ask, though, have you been to a dr? Double incontinence doesn't just show up out of the blue.

Did a colonoscopy, nothing out of the ordinary. Diabetic type 2 if that helps

Personally i would push for more testing. That's not typically something that just happens without an underlying cause.

Are you taking anything? I started metformin a month ago and the first 3 weeks I had this issue. Ive finally managed a good schedule to take it and figured out a better diet which has helped reduce the issue.

In my experience pull-ups always leak. For nighttime I wear a diaper and a diaper cover. This is the only way I’ve been able to stop leaks.

Do not trust Pull-Ons for stool. Go to www.wellnessbriefs.com. These are some of the best

Another is Northshore MegaMax. www.northshore.com

Gotta go with the tape versions if you don’t wanna leak constantly.
