I've been Doctors and he suspects Over Active Bladder (OAB), but he's running tests at the moment.

I came home about 2 and a half weeks ago, and I have been out a fair few times in that time with friends and family to the pub - and literally everytime I have, I have woke up to a wet bed. I was hoping I'd be able to control it better but no luck. Very frustrating.

Hey,

I recently bit the bullet and bought diapers, wore for first time. I am a heavy wetter, and it did work well I have to admit. Still coming to terms with the idea though. One thing that I did notice was under my clothes, it tended to sag the more I used it... I wondered if there is any solution to stop the sagging? As that's what made me feel self-conscious in the bar even though I had baggy trousers on.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm a 33 year old male, relatively fit and healthy but basically about 3 years ago when drinking alcohol, it started sending me toilet a lot in pubs where I'd have to go multiple times. I just laughed it off.

But it's progressed, so about this time last year whenever I'd been drinking I started wetting the bed infrequently; I just put it down to too much booze. And this year, I've been wetting every time I drink more or less. I even had to buy a protective mattress cover for under my sheets to help, but all my sheets still get soaked.

It's reached point now where even in bars or even normally, I can barely hold myself and I am going toilet 10-15 times a day with no alcohol, and 25 times a day with alcohol. I've nearly wet myself in bars waiting for toilet even though only two people infront of me. In work and during the week, I hardly drink fluids because it just sends me to the toilet immediately - even sips of water and 30 minutes later I am having to go to the toilet.

It's worrying how it has worsened over time and how I am now having close calls. I am returning home in 5 weeks, so will visit a GP - but reading these forums, I know how the doctors often can't pinpoint the causes.

I just wondered if anyone had any advice/similar situation/how I manage this. Thank you!

(Before anyone gives a lecture on alcohol, it isn't connected to alcohol as I gave up alcohol for 5 weeks earlier in the year and it still persisted. I'm a social drinker at weekends and will continue to be, please do not lecture on it).
