I can't believe I'm telling you this

It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone face to face...

I'm wearing an adult diaper right now.  Depends, that is.  Last night I realized I have a UTI, and I couldn't go to sleep because I would feel like I have to pee at almost every moment!  Then I would go pee a few drops (sorry, TMI, huh?), and as soon as I laid down in bed again, the urge was already back.

So my sweet hubby went and bought me Depends at 11:30 at night.  I actually didn't end up needing them (yay, I didn't pee in my pants!), but this morning, with the 1-hour bus commute, I thought, maybe I should just keep them on.

And with my flat Asian butt, I actually was thinking, maybe the padding will make me look better in these pants!  I know, I'm crazy.

I was also happy that I fit the S/M size - I haven't fit anything with the word "small" in it for a while. 

Anyways, you probably already know this, but pee after sex, girls!  This is the 2nd time this has happened to me, and I remember that I didn't pee after sex those times.

okay, overshare over. 

Re: I can't believe I'm telling you this

  • Yikes!  So not fun.  Thanks for the tip - pee after sex.  Got it!

  • I used to always have a UTI, not fun!  But yes, pee after sex is key!  That has helped me be UTI free in 7 years...knock on wood ;)

  • awww how sweet of your DH to go out for you. sorry you have a UTI:( get well soon!
  • Here's something to make you feel better: I have to wear pads (well, panty liners) all the time now. The pirates are squishing my bladder, and every time I have a big sneeze, I wee myself just a teensy bit. And since I have killer allergies I sneeze a lot. I'm working on the ole Kegel exercises, but they don't seem to be helping matters...

    We can be pee sisters. Stick out tongue

  • Oh man, UTIs SUCK.  And we don't mind oversharing.  :)  Hopefully the UTI will go away soon and/or you have meds.  A girlfriend of mine (who was not aware of the pee after sex trick) got such a bad UTI (her first UTI) that she had no idea but pissed blood and rushed herself to the ER.

  • First of all, you crack me up, Jen!  No, UTIs are not funny, but your stories are!

    Secondly, I hear you, Lisa!  I totally did that same thing just the other day for the very first time in my life.  Luckily I was wearing a pantyliner, but I was teaching a class of first graders at the time.  I couldn't wait for them to leave to make sure it didn't get anywhere else!

  • UTIs suck!  I've only had it once but man, once was more than enough for me.  I remember going through what you are, getting the urge to pee soon after going to pee.  I drank tons of cranberry juice because it's supposed to help and lucky for me, the UTI cleared up in a few days.  But man, it was hell while it lasted!  I hope yours goes away soon!

  • Don't feel bad woman I suffer from urinary incontinence and have to wear a panty liner daily especially when I sleep.  It only happens once in awhile but when it does I have no control over it.  I can't wear tampons anymore either because they push up against my bladder and makes it worse.  I can't even think about what it wold be like if I got pregnant.

  • Ugh! I used to get UTIs and they would be sooo painful and I would get them so bad that I pissed blood. Gross, I know. Pee after booty...and cranberry juice does help!

    LOL!

    I, too, know what it's like to have a bladder that is trigger happy. I have to stop walking/whatever it is I'm doing and focus all my attention down there in a mammoth effort not to pee sometimes. Which is fine...in the street I can pretend I've suddenly become fascinated with the tree I'm under or the stroller...

    However, I still haven't, as yet, worked out an excuse for when I'm crossing the road and need to do the 'freeze and subtly sqeeze legs together' stance in front of 20 odd cars waiting at the red light.

  • Eek!  I am sorry.  UTIs are no fun.  I hope you can get to the doc and get the meds going ASAP.  Also drinking pure cranberry juice (not the cocktail blends or those with added sugar) helps alot.  Or take the cranberry pills...

    Lisa - I don't want to be pee sisters just yet!  Wink  But I will be happy to be pee sisters if that means I am pregnant.

    Surfinbride - lol!  It took me a minute to get that.  I'm a little slow sometimes.

  • OMG...I'm sorry. At least your hubby was willing to go out & purchase diapers for you, sweet guy!
