Tom, your story sounds very similar to my own. I've only needed protection for less than two months now, and like you, I really thought sweating was a good bit of the moisture I felt, although I knew I was dribbling as well. My uro doesn't know what my problem is at this point, but scheduled me for a urodynamics test next month.

As others here will tell you, being determined to live your life in spite of protection is the best medicine. Today I had an experience that made me feel I had "arrived" as an incontinent person. I was to chaperone a school field trip for my son's third grade. The site was about ten miles away, and I decided to ride my bike. I wore a pullup under my bike shorts and carried fresh shorts and a shirt, along with a clean diaper, in my backpack. Between the dribbles and the bumps, which can always knock a little out of me, I arrived at the site, found the men's room and a stall to change. Bike shorts and sweaty shirt went into a plastic bag, wet diaper into another then into the trash, dry diaper on, fresh shorts and shirt and I was ready to go. Three hours later as the kids piled onto the buses I changed back into the bike shorts and rode home to a shower and yet another dry diaper.

I was there for my son, got in 20 miles of biking, took care of changes and no one was the wiser.

I don't know if my relatively minor leakage will get worse but if it does, I know I'll learn to cope with it and enjoy life to the fullest.
