I'm so tired of my life revolving around a bathroom. I'm afraid to go far from home. I have kidney and bowel issues. Does anyone else have that problem ?

Yes!! The urgency to pee keeps me home most of the time and if we do go out to restaurants or bar, have to sit by the bathroom.

You're not alone. If I know I will be away from toilet.. there is NO SHAME IN wearing a Depends ' undergarment. Men and women.
I think Always also makes thicker pads if needed.

No one needs to KNOW ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE buying or for WHOM. CUZ IT'S NOONE'S BUSINESS. And noone cares!

ADOPT THE IDCARE ATTITUDE. CUZ A LOT OF IT ISN'T WORTH YOUR TIME AND NERVES!

I also previously mentioned the use of having a Bidet toilet. Which uses a water surge for both front and back areas.

Ie from Japan!

Be brave and hopeful friend.

Sweet dreams!

I felt the same way and knew that I wasn’t going to let that win. So I got me some depends/pads and went on with it. No one at the dr.s office I worked at could tell I was even wearing them.
