I usually make it through the day dry, though not always. My day today also for some reason, was worse than others.
We had company today and as he was leaving I suddenly urged. Not wanting to be rude or panic stricken, I stood in the doorway and allowed the urge to happen. Nobody was the wiser. Later in the day I was outside because I needed to pump up my truck tire with the air compressor (the rims have a nasty habit of leaking over time). I then started to urge in the cold and I didn't think I could trudge back into the house, take off my shoes and coat, climb the stairs and make it to the bathroom in time. So I heard that cash register "k-ching" a second time (though I was still in my first diaper).
I've lately been wearing cheap cloth-backed Equate briefs during the day rather than my usual TENA Extra pull-ups. They're about half the cost ($0.55/ea vs $1.35/ea, Cdn). My daytime voids are smallish so this works ok for me. I've had close calls with IBS-d in the pull-ups leaking in the past, so I hope that if I have other IBS-d incidents, that the briefs will be safer. I know there are better options but when it rarely happens and the cost is high, I tend to take calculated chances. I have no insurance coverage (hence the cash register "rings").
