Please do not be embarrassed to wear the right protective products for you. Most products today provide a lot of absorbency and many also have ingredients to help reduce odor. Many of these products are not super bulky and will fit under your clothing without much bulk. You are not going to want to wear super tight fitting clothing, obviously, but you aren't going to have to wear super baggy pants either!

So many people are having to wear incontinence briefs and diapers these days - please don't feel odd or weirded out. Think about it - about 400 million people worldwide have some form of incontinence. That's a lot of people wearing products of one type or another.

Some folks I have corresponded with say that to feel extra confident, they sometimes wear plastic pants over their absorbent incontinence product. If you live somewhere really hot, this could be uncomfortable, but it is an option for when you are out and about. But in most cases, getting a really good absorbent that fits you properly is going to do the job for you. Most online retailers will send you samples so you can find the product that is truly going to work for you and fit well.

Hope this helps some. I hope others in this group can offer ideas as well.

there's no reason that your adult breifs should be so obvious.

98% of the people won't even know and the other 2%, if they find out, so what. You will most likely never see them again. Anyone that found out about me wearing diapers (7 years now) wether I told them or they mentioned something about it, not 1 person that I can remember has been rude or disrespectful. So don't be embarrassed by any means.
