I wear cloth and disposable products, depending on the occasion and need. If I use a single cloth diaper, I feel wet and uncomfortable fairly quickly (a few hours). With double diapers, I can go a very long time between changes, much more than double the time (up to as much as 8 hours). It has to do with wicking and capacity of the whole diaper. Double diapers seem to pull wetness away from my skin much more effectively, making me feel dryer longer. When I change a cloth diaper, usually the whole diaper is damp. When l change a disposable, the top front and back is usually pretty dry, yet the bottom area is soaked and puffed way out, which is a testament to its’ inability to wick well.
Yes, when I’m wet, I feel wet, but that’s true with any product I use. I use medicated creams and lotions when I feel irritated, but I usually wash very well with soap and water between changes to kill bacteria.
Being dry is always a good feeling, for as long as it lasts, but feeling wet is a “normal” feeling and a reminder that I need to think about a change soon.
Cloth diapers are bulky. Double diapers are bulkier. Disposable diapers are much less bulky but less comfortable to me. Fortunately I have found ways to deal with the bulk a LONG time ago so I can feel comfortable and carry on with my day.

I have progressed to nearly no control, which means it’s usually a constant slow loss of urine. However many times when I stand or get out of bed, I will flood. Sometimes I flood anyway. It’s those times that causes my stress and necessitates my preparedness.
I learned long ago that I need to stay well hydrated, especially when outside in the summer. Because of that, I void a lot, but the fallout from lack of adequate hydration causes severe health issues.
I work in an office environment only part time (maybe 20 hours per week maximum). The majority of my time is outside, which makes changing a problem sometimes.

pants one size larger. wear all black all the time. shirt is always the tall version and always untucked.
even had my suit pants tailored to be a bit more roomy for times I need to wear the suit. other than that
it's black jeans and a black polo everyday of the week. and honestly could give a hoot what others think.
my job is to be as discreet as possible .and be as odorless as possible while out in public or at work.
