I have IBS, but I haven’t had a flare up in quite a while. Usually when I did, it was small quantities of liquid stool in my underwear. These days I wear 24/7 mostly because I want to, but partly because I’m always a little nervous about when the next leak will occur. Today I was out on a walk with a friend and started feeling like I had to go. Usually I have a couple of minutes to reach a bathroom when I feel it hit, but I did my best to hold it because I don’t like messing my diaper if I can help it because the cleanup is a pain. I held it for maybe another two minutes with a painful stomach ache building, when suddenly everything just came out without warning. There was a lot and I could feel my diaper sagging and I’m still hoping my friend didn’t notice. I’m a little shocked because I’ve never had a big accident like that before, I guess because this was the first time I’ve been out of range of a bathroom when I needed it. I’m a little nervous about it happening again, but I can only be grateful I had my diaper on, otherwise it would have been a huge and very embarrassing mess.
I wear diapers for enjoyment, not for medical needs and I am truly sorry for your IBS and accident. Those, like you, who live with a painful medical condition deserves a congratulations for your courage to not let IBS control your life.

Thank you Frungie, that’s kind of you. It was annoying at first, but after two years I’ve pretty much gotten used to it as a way of life.
