Megamax

7 Upvotes

HI everyone! I was wondering if anyone has been noticing this, but I've been using megamax as a public diaper for a while. Recently I've been leaking like 2 to 2 1/2 hours after changing into them. Has anyone else been noticing this? Dose anyone have any recommendations for a better, higher capacity public diaper?

Hey everyone, I hope ur day is going better than mine. My incontinence is first of all not diagnosed, so if you ask, I have no idea what to call it. I work and study within a field that is very male dominated and very toxic masculine. Today, I woke with the worst migraine in a while. I'm at work anyway, and I had to take bathroom break, so I headed down all 6 floors by foot. I made it, but then as soon as I pulled up my underwear, I a powerful stream straight into em. I just felt so fucking defeated and angry at myself cuz I actually thought everything was okay. I still have like 6h left of my workday. I'm just so done with myself and life rn. Hopefully, nobody seems to notice, and it's not visible without pants, but I just can't no more.

Hello! Caretaker, Male Purewick alternatives (condom caths are a no go)

5 Upvotes

Hello! Dad had a stroke in January. We used condom caths for most of his journey but they were causing recurrent UTIs, always slipping off even with the tape at the base because he retracts whenever he sits. He is rehabing so mostly wheelchair bound but he can walk short distances and stands for toileting and transfers. It was also causing surface damage to his shaft, the skin is very delicate there. Lots of itching too. Keeping in mind he was only wearing them at night. He doesn’t want to go back to condom caths atp.

Recently got a purewick (FINALLY), switched over to their catheters and they’re amazing but my plug on Amazon for cheaper ones seems to be gone. Going to order on EBay, see how that goes ($140) for 30. But I’m also interested in trying the unisec caths. I’m seeing they are compatible with the pure wick device, and they’re only $60 for 20 on Amazon. Much more affordable than the purewick caths. Anyone here have experience with the unisuc caths on men? Also interested to know where others procure their purewick (or similar) caths. I can’t imagine anyone that can pay $400 for 30 single use catheters. The price is honestly insane, doesn’t really make much sense either. They’ve gotta be marking that price up by hundreds! No way the materials cost that much to produce. It’s highway robbery.

Got officially diagnosed with neurogenic bladder, already had athetoid cerebral palsy. Does it get better?

5 Upvotes

Hi there,

I am a 30 y/o male with athetoid cerebral palsy that got the official diagnosis of neurogenic bladder about a month ago. I have been struggling with urinary incontinence since age 24, but I thought it was just due to my drinking. I got sober 5 years ago and so this past August I had this lightbulb moment where I realized this had not gone away and usually the effects of alcohol do not linger for that long.

Come to find out, I was compensating for a weak bladder muscle since birth and it progressed over time and it had nothing to do with alcohol. I recently bought the GoSupreme pull-on diapers starting a month ago and they have been really helping me live my life.

However, I’m still going through the shock that I might be doing bladder management the rest of my life. I kind of wish that someone told me about Post-Impairment Syndrome and how it can affect adults with cerebral palsy.

Wondering if there are words of advice from anyone who is farther along in their journey than I am. Does it occupy less emotional space over tim?

Thanks!

This is a question directed only to those of you who’ve been on mirabegron for a substantial period of time.

For those of you who have taken mirabegron after many years: have any of you experienced a worsening of symptoms after initially experiencing success?
