Michael, I'll second the pandemic logistics. I haven't had to change in a public washroom yet, but having no washrooms available does suck.
Before I knew what I was doing, I'd take my relative who doesn't drive anymore, shopping while wearing my Tena for Men pull-up. But because most of the washrooms in the malls are closed, I would saturate it. It's really a wonder I didn't have a big embarrassing leak somewhere because it was pushed right to very the limit. After a couple of those episodes, I finally figured out that I needed a more absorbent diaper when away from home.
For me, a big leak would still be embarrassing but overall I think I am over it. I have accepted that this is my disability, so "like it or lump it".
