LIfe's greatest embarrassments

That made me laugh as I know exactly what you are saying!! When I get in the bath, half the water has disappeared when I get out!!LOL Joking aside I think the worse thing for me was when I was at a party held on a golf course and this man asked me to dance. He had me pacing up and down the rough terraine and as I had a full bladder of lager I could feel it trickling out. I held my composure and luckily I was wearing a skirt that did not show the signs of a weak bladder!! However, I have never been in such a state of panic as I thought I was going to loose control and just empty my overfilled bladder there and then!! After the dance I made a quick exit to the loo!! Since then I have made sure I do some pelvic floor exercises as I don't want to be caught out again!! The thing is they are the most annoying exercises EVER!!!

oh my gosh! is there some way (medical) that can treat your bladder problem? it sure is embarassing. or you could wear pantyliners regularly? in my case, i do have several embarassing situations. like when i went to school in complete uniform and everyone else is in casual clothes because it was expression day. or when i went to the local department store where i had a kiosk, only to find out that i had worn my blouse inside out (it was striped, okay). but i think the most embarassing moments were the violent fights that my boyfriend and i had in malls. all the shouting were really embarassing. it was just good in the mall, you are anonymous. gee, i wouldn't want to do them again.

I totally understand your problem. I have to wear pads all the time. Sometimes just standing up to walk toward the bathroom, my bladder will let go. I have an accident at home (thank goodness) at least a couple of days a week. I go through a lot of underwear! It is most aggravating at night. For some reason, when I'm lying down and wanting to sleep, I have to get up every hour and a half. On really bad nights, it is once an hour. Makes it hard to get enough rest. I can't say I've had an accident in a public store, though. I can't imagine your excitement! I did wet all over my mother's carpet once and I had 2 accidents at work...one I had to leave and go home to change clothes. Big sigh...it's great to get old.

Thank GOD till now I had not any. But there are long times to happen. Still I think there are Adult diapers available and you can use them.

Well I have had 2 kids but my bladder did not take it well. I pee everytime I sneeze or cough. It is a fun side effect. I have had a life full of embarrasing moments and it is to hard to level it down to just one. When I was living in a top floor apartment the neighbors could hear everything through the floor. My Hubby and I were doing what married people do and we hear this tapping on the floor. Our downstairs neighbor was tired of listening to our late night adventures and was using her broom handle to let us know. I tried to avoid her for the rest of the time we lived there.

I'd forgotten about this until just now when I read your post...Years ago I went on a bus trip to Washington D.C. with a group of people I worked with including my sister-in-law. I was in the spring and I wore a cream colored pants suit. Thank goodness I no longer have this worry, but back then I was as regular as could be with my period. Like clockwork...until this time. We'd no sooner gotten to D.C. and gotten off the bus when my sister-in-law noticed my "stain" first. We went into the ladies room and she tried to wash the slacks for me while I waited in the stall but it just made it worse. I had to spend the entire day walking around with my jacket tied around my waist and making sure it covered me well, if you know what I mean. Luckily I had tampons in my purse...I was always prepared...but what an uncomfortable embarrassing day! My supervisor from work and his mother were on the bus along with some other real gossips so I was nearly in tears at first. It was in D.C. so I didn't need to worry about seeing anyone else I knew!
