Now that I have hydrated regularly, another established trend seems to be disappearing. I can no longer reliably say I won't wet the bed. Tonight at work I drank some peace tea and water, and I did empty my bladder once before bed. Since the night before I also had an incident, I made sure I was wearing Forsite and one of my Angel Fluff AIOs as extra secutity. These past 2 nights, could I have gotten up to use the bathroom? Probably. Would it have made a difference? Probably not. Knowing me, with the amount of urine and the urge the way it was, I would have started releasing urine the minute I got out of bed and started walking toward the bathroom. This only reinforces my theory that all the dry spells I have enjoyed were really due to lack of hydration. Now the trick is hydrating well without overhydrating. I don't want to drink too much where my urine is ultra clear and my body is constantly removing excess water in the form of pee. But I do want it to where my urine is no longer a darker yellow or amber, obviously. I drink gatorade to make sure I get electrolyetes in the event I do overhydrate and lose some balance that way. IF anyone has suggestions on how much to drink without overdoing it and how their bladder responded and how much protection they needed, that would be very useful info. I'm not used to hydrating regularly so this is a new world to me. It's a healthier world, but its one that is uncharted.
Peace out!

PS: I am REALLY impressed by Forsite Health AM:PM briefs. I was sleeping on my side and it absorbed the entire wetting without breaking a sweat. Normally diapers usually leak out when one sleeps on their side. I leaked wearing a Better Dry the other night sleeping on my back. Looks like i need to up my protection game at night. Sigh. The price for staying well hydrated. It's ok.. its ok. My kidneys will thank me for it.
