Diapered in Hospital

Went for an MRI scan of the spine two days ago. Nurse told me to strip down to my underwear and put on a gown. I wondered if the urine in my nappy could give off its own signal and confuse matters so I confessed to wearing an "incontinence brief". Apparently it would not cause any problem. So now I know!

I've been diapered for outpatient procedures but never inpatient (I've been there for 12+ hours, but never had to stay overnight since my incontinence started). If I am not there for something up my bottom (often am), I am generally in a diaper under my gown. I've only been embarrassed about it a couple times.

I'm sure it is different if you don't really need one, but if you do it can be hard at times. One recent case, I had told the doctor--a urologist--about my GI problem at the last meeting but he had forgotten. He suddenly asked me to drop my pants and then just stared at me with my trousers around my ankles. I was wearing Protective Underwear and he just looked at me funny and said "why the diaper?"

It was very hard for my ego, having to stand there, pants around my ankles, explaining my chronic diarrhea and leakage problems. I actually have not seen him since (I've not had to), but I may find another doctor for next time, I just can't face him again.

I am a lifelong bedwetter and have some daytime incontinence issues. I am always in diapers in the hospital as it is in my medical records that I am incontinent.

I was at the hospital one day and was waiting to see the doctor. I had forgot to put a diaper on before coming. So when I went to triage I had an wetting incident right in front of the nurse. She was very sympathetic and brought me a diaper. And said if I needed help cleaning up just ask. I was so embarrassed

In hospital for urine retention 11 hours without peeing they tried to catherterise me but i had an infection of the urethra and when they tried to put the tube up i was bleeding and the pain was excruicating. After nurses muttering i was told i would need to wear a brief in uk its an adult nappy after nurse put on i was taken down to theatre where they drained 950ml of urine when i awoke i was catherterised i was told they had to act fast due to bladder was full to max with scan and could backfire to kidney which can kill what a weekend that was

This past week I was diapered in the hospital after wetting the hospital bed five times. The nurse that was changing my wet bed while I was standing there in my my wet gown. She look pretty mad. She said this is the fifth time since last night you wet the bed, this is getting bad and we cannot keep cleaning you're bed ever time you wet it. She gave me towels a wash cloth and soap and told me to wash my self off while she changed my bed.

She put a new bed pad on my bed then told to me finish cleaning myself, she left then came right back. I was standing there cleaning myself when she came back with diapers. She said your going to wear these from now on, get on that bed so I can diaper you. I was both shamed and excited, I did as I was told as she put the diaper on me. I told her I could not put it on myself, she said see was going to do it.

Once done, she said lets see if that keeps your bed dry. Don't take it off, ill be back later to check on you. I was waking a few hours later, she was asking if I was dry. I was really embarrassed but told her that I was wet. She checked my diaper and sure enough I was soaked but the bed was dry. As she unfastened my wet diapers and she asked me, is wearing a diaper better then a wet bed? I was turning red but yes I think she knew I enjoyed having a diaper on. She changed my diapers three times that night and the next three nights I enjoy her diapering me very much. This is a true store that happen on Jan 13 14 15 16 a hospital in Daytona Beach.

I've only ever been in hosp for scans and bloods and a small day op. only work a nappy for the scans as had to drink a lot of water. As soon as I walked away from the scan I wet my self 😢 x

My doctor wanted me to spend all night at a sleep disorder clinic. I kept putting it off because of course I was worried about wetting the bed. I finally told him I needed to wear night time protection. The test involves many sensors being placed in the head, neck area and would take over a half hour to finish. The very attractive, much younger nurse was all business. She discribed what was going to happen and when.

After going through a long list of things she continued with "I think it would be better if you put your night time protection on before we get started. Do you need any help? Instinctively I answered no, I can take care of it. She was out of the room before I realized what I had done! I told myself that you are a stupid dumbass! I put on my thick cloth diaper with pins and pulled the plastic pants over them. I put a robe on but did not tie it. She came back into the room and asked me to follow her down the hall.

When I stood up the robe opened and showed the diaper and plastic pants. I blushed and started to close the robe. She took her hand and stopped the robe from closing and said don't cover up on my account, I think it's cute. We were the only two in that area of the building so I walked down the hall with my robe open, the nurse glancing over her shoulder. I have always wondered if she seen the bulge in the front of my diaper. And YES, this is a true story.

I hate catheters and will not take them unless they are needed.

i am a Ex EMT and don't trust hospitals and only stay when i have to.

Too many infections and you are less likely to get a infection from a diaper then a catheter.

I have even had a catheter plug up. I told the nurses and they told me that it was not plugged. 30 minutes later i wet the bed around the catheter.

I got to tell them "i told you so."

I have been telling my PC doctors about my problems peeing and that its neurological but she keep insisting its BPH and sent me to the wrong specialist. He told me my prostate is not enlarged enough to be the complete problem. The neurologist said its likely but there is no way to test for the problem and with my autoimmune neurological problems its likely. So i just wear a diaper to my doctors appointment as i have to drive 140 miles to the VA and let them try to figure it out.

Autoimmune disorders. suck and dumb doctors are a pain in the A&%$.

I have always liked the feel of wetting a diaper and wearing a thick wet diaper since i was a bed wetter. So i am going to enjoy my old age.

If you wear and need a good diaper. Bambino Diapers are some of the best. (bambinodiapers.com) i wear Bambino Bianco" but they sell other brands and all of them are good.

Not sure what kind of neurologist told you that there is no way to test for and diagnose your condition. Any certified urologist is able to do a series of tests called a "urodynamics study" which can specifically identify the nature of your problem. If I were you, I would push the issue, if necessary, with a different doctor.

After having a foley catheter in for several days in the hospital, they wanted to get it out of me and see if I could start peeing on my own again. (I was having some issues with urinary retention).

I was able to pee on my own, but also started having some accidents. After wetting the bed unknowingly three times one night, they decided to diaper me. I was discharged and due to some accidents ended up wearing diapers for three weeks, and loved getting hard in them. After the accidents stopped, I switched pack to boxer briefs as I was embarrassed wearing diapers in public. But I honestly still have some curiosity about wearing them without a medical need.

I also have a foley catheter since may third and I was told I had an enlarged prostate and I'm on a list for surgery but no telling when the actual surgery will be. I too want this fucking thing out of me so I can go back to peeing my cloth diapers and plastic pants like the big sissy,naughty toddler I am

Thumper, have you asked for "something" instead of the "uncomfortable" Catheter? There may be an alternative they suggest like say a diaper since after the surgery you may need them anyway. Good luck T

I also have to deal with a Foley catheter from time to time, and cant wait to get it out, my last stint with it was 2 years, but my bladder and bladder neck are better, not retaining like I was, but,, much more incontinence. Going in tomorrow to have a catheter removed and into a fresh diaper that the nice nurse will bring. So understanding, and all good.

Couple years ago I broken my legs and next morning when I woke up in hospital I have diaper between my legs. It was awesome! I was in hospital 15 nights and all that time I was diapered.

Well since I have been out of the army I have been going to the doctors in my diapers they don't say much about it. If I don't wear one I am sure I will have an accident this far along wearing full time. I get a case of diapers a month from the VA. They are shit diapers but they're free lol.

From 6-12 I was a bedwetter and any hospital stay involved me wearing nappies (ugly terrible brand) nappies overnight

I am worried about the chance of me having a accident during the time I am under anasphtic gas.

My belief is that you will be at no extra risk of leaking under anaesthetic as to when you sleep.

However, that said, I think you should advise them and get confirmation of the chance of leakage and the necessary precautions can be put in place.

I have upcoming major surgery on my right foot to correct a problem with my toes that currently prevent me from walking properly without pain, the operation is set for this coming Sunday morning on the 11th December and whilst I have been reassured that I won't need to wear a diaper during this time I will probably wear one anyway because of the fact I will be more comfortable whilst I am out-cold/anicitised or in a controlled artificial coma.

I have ordered some free diapers for my recovery period that will take up to 6-8 weeks to fully mend and allowing for the physiotherapy/rehabilitation as in learning to walk again for only the second time in my life which is prity sensible given that the medication after my surgery will probably make me have to wear diapers and also the fact that I won't be able to walk until this period is complete.

Hopefully I might get away with being wheelchair bound but this will only be during my recovery time, although wearing diapers I nothing new to me because since 2010 when I turned 30 I have had to wear diapers virtually all of the time because of my disabilities which I have mentioned in earlier blogs.

Obviously I will let you know how my surgery goes and will continue to make blogs/replies on this website until I am fully recovered from my little hospital trip.

Although I am not overly concerned about the fact this will be the first major surgery on my body since I was 12-13 when I had surgery to correct a private problem.

I never told anyone in the Hospital. At age 10 I had my tonsils out and stayed one night, and I wet. More recently I was hospitalized for about 2 weeks for cardiac bypass after a heart attack, and I wet one (maybe 2 ?) nights. They put a pad under me, but diapers weren't mentioned at all.

An update to my previous post from 2008.

Late Sept 2016 I had major belly surgery number 10, with the removal of about 2 feet of bowel.If you've never had belly surgery, understand thatfor me it's a 10/10 on the pain scale, and moving at all is intensely discomforting!

I took my own diapers to the hospital (ABU Space and Lil' Pawz brands) as I know from experience that hospital diapers SUCK!!! Though I did have a catheter in, I asked to remain diapered since I've used them 24/7 for 30+years and I'm not comfortable without them. The nurses gracefully accepted my wishes, and changed me daily to keep the sweat down and prevent rashes.

Several days after surgery I was given a suppository as I hadn't had a BM since, and that was mandatory before I could go home. It took over an hour for my bowel to waken fully, and when it did there was no stopping it. The diaper filled rapidly, and the nurses were glad to see that their "bullet" had done its job! I'm not certain how happy they were to change me, but they did it with grace and gentleness.

So, yes, to answer the original question, I've been diapered many times in the hospital and never had any problems from anyone about it.

My best to all,

Binkey

Yes, through several major surgeries and the nurses always took care of my diapers and changes.

I've been in and out of hospitals my entire life and being fully incontinent is in my medical records. Last time I was staying overnight in the hospital was for a minor surgery and I brought my own diapers. They put a catheter in during surgery but afterwards the nurses changed me when needed.

I recently had an outpatient foot surgery. For that I was put in diapers for my entire stay.

Littletwink...by who? Why?

I have been given nappy pants just incase after an enema but after waking up I have always had a catheter in place when waking up.i enjoy my nappies but have a health problem that comes in conflict

Littletwink...by who? Why?

... I told the nurse during my pre-op call that I was incontinent, she said that's fine because of how short the procedure was.(4 and 1/2 hours). I went in thinking everything was fine, but the nurse that actually prepared my for my operation said that the centers policy stated that I must be in diapers because they " don't did catheters". I said ok, but I didn't have bring any with me. She then went and got some and put them on me. I came out of surgery with a different one on.I was awake but very out of it during the procedure.

At this point my incontinence is known, if they see me come through the door by ambulance it's an oh shit moment. Being retired from emergency services i don't use ambulances. Any one who doesn't know me finds out when they are taking my clothes off because you can't miss the big old diaper. Of course by the time i regain consciousness they have my medicsl records and been changing me right along. Right now I have an unprecedented period of good health. Come February it will be two years since I was there. I haven't been healthy stable like this since I got sick and was medicaly retired in 03 and placed on compassionate social security disability.

I have been in the hospital a few times, but if I need to go I have always wear a diaper vs a pull up. I explain to them the reason why and they totally understand. If I need to be admited they always bring in a pack of diapers to my room and keep them near my bed.

Updates I am now fully recovered having had my operation 18-19 months ago. It took a little over 6-8 weeks but I am now fine. During the whole time I was under I didn't have any need for a diaper or nappy, however I was lucky that time.

If I have anymore surgery in future then I will consider asking for diapers. If it's a major operation, fingers crossed I never have to go through surgery again, if however the need arises then obviously I will let you know.

Ps- did you know you can ask to be part of a study done to help patients in hospitals who are bed ridden or in comas by asking to be put under and stay in a bed for a month as most hospitals are only too keen to practice however I have never really seriously thought of going through this.

Unless I become permanently disabled, either through a accident or by cancer or illness or later on my body just giving up again, I try not to think of that eventuality as it means death and I still have too much to live for at this time.

Yours sincerly
