Is he a diabetic? If he has not seen a doctor then he needs too. If he is a diabetic his diabetes might not be under control. It sounds like his sugars are getting to high.

I’m 18. I’ve been stressed out a lot lately with my college classes, assignments, activities, work, etc.

I’ve noticed for the past two weeks that I’ve been experiencing a bit of urinary incontinence. However, today and yesterday when I’ve been relaxed, I haven’t experienced any urinary incontinence.

So, I was just wondering if urinary incontinence can be caused by stress.
I don’t have children. I’ve never had sex.

You should definitely talk to your doctor about it. You could have a rather sneaky infection of sorts.
If you have had children, that could very well be to blame.
I don’t know for sure if stress would have an effect.

If it is caught in time it may be treatable with removal of the bladder.

Yesterday i was looking around at this new CVS that opened up after awhile i kinda got the eyeballs looking at me. There were some girls working who were cute by the way. They were in my age group early 20’s they seemed to look at me funny. I went to pick up more incontinence products. They looked at me before i wandered into the incontinence isle. I am tall, so i am puzzled was it my diapers they noticed or height. What do you think?

probably a combination there of. The probably thought, "Hmm; He’s kinda cute – and tall. Wonder why he’s carrying that around?…" They don’t necessarily suspect that the products are for you, but they probably noticed. I have bought adult diapers at pharmacy stores and department stores and such before and I must say, most people don’t give a second thought to what’s in your cart/hand, though at times it feels as if everyone knows and is eying you. And again, for those that do notice, they don’t always suspect they are for you; unless you wear your diapers on the outside of your clothes, they don’t really have any hard evidence for their speculation and will usually take any excuse you give them as to why you are purchasing them.

constantly lifting their legs and urinating on things. I know this is normal for a stud to do, but i have tried a lot of things to get them to stop. Aside from keeping them caged constanly, which i hate to do. I have use the male incontinence pants and i found that they do not work well. When the male lifts his leg it moves and doesnt stop the urine from escaping.Any suggestions would be great!…Serious dog owners only please.

It’s just part of the breed. Walk them more often or keep them in an area where the floor and furniture can be easily cleaned. If you ever have a male you just keep for a pet without breeding, have it neutered early.
Another thing……. You might try increasing the ratio of FtoM in your pack. If you have one M to 3F they will mark less than if you have more M for them to compete with. It’s an "alpha male" thing. Or you might keep two packs separately, one for each male.

My dog is fairly old and is showing signs of incontinence. I might be in denial, but I think he just does territorial marking. My mom said that if I can’t find something to stop him from marking then he has to go. Could someone please help me? Is there anything I can do for my dog’s incontinence issues?
He is actually already neutered. And I have taken him to the vet. He doesn’t have a UTI which is why the vet thinks he is just incontinent because nothing seems wrong. I will try the dog diapers though!

I actually have a solution for male dog incontinence and territorial marking. This is a product that I developed because my daughter’s Jack Russell started marking again in our house. It is called a belly wrap. Now there are many belly wraps or dog diapers out there, but mine has an adjustable strap with a buckle so the wrap won’t slip off. You simply put a diaper in the belly wrap so it will catch any urine. They are made out of fleece and are machine washable. You can read more about Happy Jack Belly Wraps at my website listed below.

I have re-current bladder infections (UTI’s) and I was taught in school that if someone has a bladder infection they can try to treat it on their own if they push the cranberry pills and lots of fluids. However, on a recent call to my doctor (rather nurse), I was informed that if I have an actual bladder infection, the only way to treat it is by taking antibiotics.

If it is a true bacterial infection then you will need a antibiotic..usually they will give one called Levaquin..you will be on it for 1-2 weeks…also drink lots of water…the med that makes you pee orange is not an anibiotic but it is a pain med to help with stinging and burning when you pee..hope this helps

I am interested in finding an insurer who will cover, at least in part, costs associated with wearing reusable (washable) adult (cloth) diapers? Does anyone know if such an insurer exists in the United States?

No such horse.

The only people who would ever buy that coverage, are the people who want to use it.

If you want to use cloth diapers, and don’t want to pay for adult sized ones (which go for around $50 each), you should look into sewing them. It would take around $10 of materials, and two hours of time, for each diaper.

Does anyone have personal experience with both goodnites and tena brand pullups?

Background: I’m male, 152 lbs and have used goodnites during the daytime with fair success. I have urge-type incontinence which translates to 2-3 ‘mild’ accidents throughout the daytime, and the goodnites have been perfect (male-incontinence shields bunch up and leak). At night, I use the Tena diapers, and have now started considering the pullups for daytime use. They are advertised as close-fitting to the body and basically undetectable (why I like the goodnites); however, I’m wondering about their performance.

Again, the goodnites have worked very well for me, however, the baby-ish designs occasionally get to me; though I’ve accepted this as part of my life (at least for now), I would like to feel abit more ‘adult.’ I have a very supportive GF, but sometimes I’m embarrassed when she sees me in the ‘baby’ diapers, less so in the adult diapers.

Any ’serious’ advice is appreciated.

We use attends in the hospital. They work well. You will need to get them from a medical supply store,

my elderly wife has suffered several small strokes which left her with excessive incontinence. Have not found anything on-line to control the odor.

They make a liquid I’ll find it for you. It is for people or pets.
