As a young, healthy person I always imagined that purchasing adult diapers would be the most mortifying thing. As someone living with chronic Lyme, I have learned that it is far worse to NEED adult diapers and not have them.
As you can imagine, travel is stressful which triggers Lyme flares. Somehow I remember to pack my emesis (barf) bags while traveling but always forget to consider “the other end.” Because of this I’ve purchased a variety of brands and styles out of desperation while away from home.
There is a wide variety on the level of dignity provided by different brands. Depends just feel humiliating to wear. I only wear them at night. There’s no way to comfortably wear them under clothing. They are baggy and horrible. On the other hand, Always are amazing. I’m currently wearing them under my jeans and they feel pretty much like regular underwear. I should say that I’ve never had a “full blow out” and it’s entirely possible that the Depends are more effective and that’s why they’re so baggy.
I’m sure I had a point when I began typing but I have Lyme disease and I forget shit…
