I have posted in the past on the old forum and I like the new site. Nice job guys!
I've suffered with urinary incontinence my entire life due to a underdeveloped bladder. I am also a deep sleeper & have always wet the bed. It used to drive me nuts but I've learned to accept it. I'm in my mid 40's and I lost almost all control of my bladder a few years back and am learning to live with this unfortunate condition. There are times I can make it to the toilet in time, mostly I can't and end up going in the diaper. It's a losing battle but that's the breaks. I've pretty much stopped fighting it. Anyway, I'm in diapers 24/7 and use Depends refastenable underwear during the day.... they work but need improvement. Leg gathers would help along with better coverage & some type of odor control. I usually wear plastic pants for added protection & to help minimize the odor problem. I've seen that there are better disposable products out there from reading some of the posts on this excellent site! I need to look into these other brands.
All of that to say this! I'm currently using Depends Day/Night diapers overnight, which are not all that great. Leaks are a given and I'm a heavy wetter which doesn't help. I'm ready to switch to cloth for overnight & heard that gauze are the best for comfort & absorbency. Is this really true? I'm also thinking of using them during the day but not sure yet. I prefer the dryness that disposables offer.
Also, does anyone make a gauze diaper with velcro fasteners. I've been on the Angel Fluff site & they have gauze but not with velcro. I really like the velcro concept as opposed to pins but would like to try guaze diapers as opposed to flannel or birdseye. I'd appreciate any help I can get here. Does anybody make a gauze diaper with velcro fasteners?
It's great to have this forum & nice to have support from others out there with incontinence problems.
Thanks for listening!
