Reddit mentions: The best incontinence & ostomy products

Hi Bumpers! I’ve loved reading everyone’s birth stories, especially as my due date drew near, and I finally have a chance to sit down and do my very own. I tried to include as much useful detail as possible, so here goes:


At my last prenatal appointment I was 1 cm/80% effaced. On Sunday 9/4, I was 3 days past my due date but felt the same as any other day over the previous couple weeks. I was convinced I would need to be induced later that week. I had not lost my mucus plug, had no bloody show, and hadn’t felt LO drop very deep into my pelvis, so, basically, no signs that labor was approaching. I treated myself to a prenatal massage to pass the time.


That evening around 9pm, I had what I thought was a Braxton Hicks contraction that was also slightly painful in my lower abdomen. It could easily have gone unnoticed. I’d been having Braxton Hicks extremely frequently for several months, so this felt very much like those (tightening/hardening across belly) except for the very mild pain. I mentioned it to DH and started timing my contractions, just in case.


I continued to have what I assumed were Braxton Hicks (given the none-loss of my mucus plug and absence of any other signs of labor) and timed them to be anywhere from 4 minutes to 8 minutes apart. DH thought it could be labor but I was skeptical since the contractions were extremely mild. DH made dinner and I baked an apple pie and we went about our evening while still timing the contractions.


The contractions continued through dinner, so around 10:30 PM DH and I debated calling the hospital. I was scared of going in and getting sent home, so since DH is a doctor I had him check my cervix. He had to think back to his med school and residency days, but he estimated that I was about 2.5 cm and fully effaced. That was enough to convince me to call the hospital and we were told to come get checked out. We packed the rest of our hospital bags, grabbed the car seat, and headed to the hospital (only 5 minutes away) around midnight.


When we checked into L&D triage, I was all smiles and was apologetic that we were taking up these people’s time when I was probably just in early or prodromal labor. The contractions had continued but were still super mild (a 1/10 on the pain scale) and I was convinced they would stop as soon as the monitor was attached to me. My triage nurse said she could tell by my face and calmness that they’d be sending me home that night. At 1:15 AM she checked my cervix and said I was 1 cm, so we assumed DH was just a little out of practice and had been mistaken when he checked me and thought I was 2cm. The contractions did show up on the monitor, however, so they told us we could go home or we could walk the halls for 2 hours and get rechecked for any progress.


We opted to walk the halls. As we did, the contractions started to pick up a little in intensity in the sense that where a BH felt like tightening of the front of my abdomen, this felt like a three-dimensional tightening, like a sphere in my belly that was getting tighter. Each contraction would start with a tightening sensation, then start to be a throbbing pain, the pain would subside but the tightening would remain, and then the tightening would finally subside. When I stopped to rest, I could actually feel the contraction pulling my lady bits apart. By the end of the two hours, I did have to focus somewhat on my breathing during the contractions, though they still weren’t super painful (maybe a 2-3/10).


At 3:15 AM, the nurse checked me again and said I was still 1cm. I asked about effacement and she said 50%. That should have been a red flag that she was not the best cervix-checker, since I had been 80% at my last 3 OB visits. In hindsight, I think DH had been spot on when he checked me at home.


Because (according to the triage nurse) there was no progress, they sent me home and advised that the contractions would probably peter out and that when I started to sound like the woman in the next curtain (who was moaning like crazy and was someone I NEVER wanted to sound like), that’s when they’d keep me. They gave me a mild sedative and sent us on our way.


We went home and got in bed around 3:45 AM. By then, the contractions were at a 4/10. As soon as my head hit the pillow, a contraction hit that had me audibly moaning (a 5-6/10). The contractions continued and I was unable to sleep. The sedative they had given me made me feel a little groggy but did nothing to ease the pain or help me sleep. At 6 AM I tried taking a bath and woke DH to help me time the contractions and decide what to do. The bath felt nice but the contractions continued and I vomited after one of them. We called over to the hospital and were told to come back, so off we went.


By the time we got to triage (around 7:30 AM), I was that moaning lady. The contractions were a 7/10 and I was vomiting. A triage nurse (different from the first one) came to check me and I told her I was terrified I would still be at 1 cm. She checked me, smiled, and said, “You’re not at 1 cm.” I burst out crying, I was so happy. She said I was 4-5 cm. I asked if I could have the epidural now and she immediately paged anesthesia.


We got moved to a delivery room and the epidural team arrived around 8:30 AM. They gave me a lidocaine shot first that was just a tiny pinch and then I didn’t feel any of the epidural administration, which apparently took them a few tries. They gave me an epidural plus a spinal because the spinal would act immediately. Within 5 minutes of the medicine flowing, my legs started feeling warm and heavy. About 10 minutes into the epidural, the monitor picked up a contraction that I couldn’t feel—I was in heaven! The only negative side effect I had was mild itchiness as the epidural wore off.


For the next couple hours, DH and I just hung out and waited for me to progress. My OB was on call that day, which was fantastic. At 10:50 AM they checked my cervix and I was 7 cm. My water broke during the exam and I kept feeling gushes with each contraction, which felt oddly soothing.


Around this time, I started feeling pressure in my butt, as if someone was biting my right butt cheek (that’s the best way I can describe the sensation—though the nurses looked at me like I was crazy when I told them that). The pressure was uncomfortable but bearable.


At 12:40 PM they put the “peanut” between my legs (big inflatable peanut-shaped ball) to widen my pelvis and help LO move down. This part was pretty uncomfortable since the pressure in my butt was getting more intense.


At 1:30 PM I was at 10 cm so we did a practice push. LO’s head was starting to come through so we immediately jumped to real pushes. At first it felt just like a poop, so I pushed exactly as if I was trying to poop and made great progress getting LO down the birth canal. After about 50 minutes of pushing, at 2:18 PM, my little girl was born.


She was absolutely perfect. Apgar was 9/9. We did skin-to-skin right away and tried breastfeeding. She latched and ate like a champ for about an hour.


I had a minor 1st degree tear that got stitched and my recovery has been great. I got by for the most part on Motrin and Tylenol, but also got a 5mg oxycodone when cramping got really bad during breastfeeding (PSA: breastfeeding causes painful uterine cramping; I did not know that going into this!). Aside from that, I’ve been feeling pretty good!


Things that were/weren’t useful at the hospital:

• Clothes - I ended up wearing my hospital gown during the entire hospital stay, so I never touched any of the clothes that I packed for the hospital except for when we went home
  
  
• Long iPhone charger – if you don’t have one already, invest in one for you and your support person
  
  
• Eye mask – this came in handy when I tried to nap while LO slept during the day
  
  
• Nursery – take advantage if your hospital offers it; with LO in the nursery, DH and I actually got some decent sleep
  
  Postpartum thoughts
  
  
• Breastfeeding took some practice. When my milk came in, LO had a tough time latching since my boobs got too firm. I had to pump to make it possible for her to latch. At 9 days out, we are now getting the hang of the whole thing and breastfeeding has gotten a lot easier, so my advice is to stick with it and just know that it WILL get easier
  
  
• Cloth diapers make for amazing burp clothes. I use 2-3 per breastfeeding session
  
  
• Dental bibs (https://www.amazon.com/Avalon-Papers-1053-Dental-Polyback/dp/B0025TWH8C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473890336&sr=8-2&keywords=dental+bib) and disposable underpads (https://www.amazon.com/Dynarex-Disposable-Underpad-inches-Count/dp/B005X0U43K/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1473890356&sr=8-2&keywords=underpads) have really come in handy. We use the underpads for poopsplosions and changes on-the-go and dental bibs for all other diaper changes. That way, we don’t have to wash the changing pad liner as often.
  
  
• I was pretty grossed out with my postpartum body when we got home from the hospital (3 days PP). My boobs got enormous and everything looked super round and pudgy. My weight was only down 8lbs, 7 of which was baby, so I felt pretty bad. I hated how all my maternity and nursing tops looked over my hips and belly. I’m only on day 9 now, but I’ve already begun to look and feel more like my pre-baby self. My boobs have gone down to a more manageable size and everything else is starting to look less round. So, to any ladies who might feel similarly, hang in there and keep in mind that everything will feel better in just a few days.
  
  
• Google Express. OMG Google Express. We signed up for a free three-month trial, and they will go to Costco (and other stores) for you and get you all the diapers and wipes you could possibly need.

Washable bedding for the piggy enclosure:

-Bottom layer: bed liner pads, there are dozens of different size options available on amazon, so you can find ones that will fit your enclosure dimensions.

-Middle layer: Moisture wicking "sheepette" faux wool. Soft and provides a thick, dry layer between the piggies and the urine absorbing bed liner pad. Easy to cut to size.

-Top layer: regular fleece fabric (if you buy new fleece, wash in hot water with unscented detergent and some Borox powder, this helps remove any moisture repelling chemicals on the surface of the fabric that will prevent urine from quickly absorbing). I get the plain fleece blankets that come in a roll from ikea, they're large and inexpensive, you can cut them to the sizes you need. Or if you want to get fancy you can go to a craft store that sells fabric.

I put my 3 layers in the enclosure, then take the top fleece layer and tuck it in on all sides so the piggies don't lift up the fleece to hide underneath it.

Feed good food. I feed my piggies Sherwood pellets, and i order hay from Small Pet Select. The bigger the box/bag you order, the more money you save. Also, NEVER buy hay at petco or petsmart. Their prices are OUTRAGEOUS. 20$ for 5lbs of oxbow, insane! I pay 72$ for a 60lb box of hay from Small Pet Select (i have quite a few pigs lol need a lot of hay). If i bought hay from petco, 60lbs would cost me like 240$.

Feed healthy veggies every day. Fruit should be a RARE treat. I only give my pigs a little bit of fruit once every 2-3 weeks. Fruit is just natures candy, its not really healthy, its a special treat and should not be a part of a guinea pigs regular diet. Raspberry is one of the lowest sugar fruits so its a good choice for the occasional treat.
Always rinse veggies well before feeding. Red/orange/yellow bell peppers are extremely high in vitamin c so they are fantastic as part of a daily piggy salad. Other good veggies are green leaf, red leaf and romaine lettuce, celery, cucumber, escarole (aka curly endive). Fresh herbs in moderation bc they have high calcium contents. I never give my pigs things like kale, spinach or broccoli, too much calcium and oxalates. Carrots have quite a bit of sugar (not as much as fruit though) so i only give a little carrot 2x per week.

I give my piggies a Sherwood joint support tablet daily to help prevent arthritis bc guinea pigs are extremely prone to developing arthritis in their knees (my vet told me most pigs have significant arthritis in the knees by age 4 and it is certainly not comfortable).

Last thing i can think of that i think its important for piggy owners to know is that piggies are very sensitive to sound, they don't like loud TV/music/etc. I leave classical music on a low volume for my piggies on a radio or streaming from my computer (WQXR and KUSC are great classical stations you can stream online or on those smart speaker devices a lot of people are getting these days). Its nice for them to have something pretty and soothing to listen to, makes their living environment more interesting.

Guinealynx.org is a very good resource for piggy info.

I bathe my piggies once per year, using Gorgeous Guineas shampoo. Its an adorable little company and they sell affordable shampoo, even some in very small bottles so those with just 2 piggies dont need to spend money on big bottles theyll never get close to finishing off.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Lots of women squirt and guys love it! My wife is a squirter. The orgasms she has when she squirts are also usually the most intense ones. I can usually make her orgasm and squirt very easily just with g-spot stimulation, but she also squirts from PIV and even just from giving me blowjobs by stimulating her vagus nerve (really amazing!).

Just get a few of these to throw down under you for easy cleanup https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IN46NU/ref=oh_o06_s00_i01_details?th=1

Enjoy the pleasure you get from your orgasms! Us guys love it! Be proud of the amazing things your body can do.

But these have free shipping 🤣!!!
Seriously though, I'm sorry for your unfortunate shipping situation! Maybe northshore Adam will read this and try to expand his market (i can't remember if he is on here or just adisc so I don't know how to tag him). They are defiantly worth a try but you get rearz that offer some great diapers IMO. I hope someday you get to try northshore diapers because every diaper is worth trying at least once! (I hope i come off as joking and not rude, being rude is no where near my intent!)

Good luck!
And happy diapering!

Edit: found his user name, looking for u/NorthShoreAdam to maybe help this Canadian diaper enthusiast.

> Generic /r/sex[1] advice, tell him how his actions made you feel. Find out if it is specifically sleeping in the aftermath that bugs him or if it's something else all together. Maybe he just feels unclean afterwards and wants to go get a wash but thinks telling you that may hurt your feelings? I find squirting hot but if I'm on the bottom I get soaked and after the fact, it gets all cold and not a great all round feeling. It may bother him more than it bothers me.

I think this advice started in the right direction, but quickly turned into a question of problem-solving. She came here because her husband hurt her feelings, and that needs to be addressed before worrying about why he doesn't like sleeping on a wet bed.

I think OP's husband reacted insensitively to the situation. I think she feels blamed for something that happened involuntarily out of what was supposed to be an act of love and intimacy.

Of course, Husband has needs too, but it appears that both partners are having difficulty communicating their respective needs (or recognizing each other's), and that is getting in the way of their intimacy. She can't anticipate his or pull them out of him, but she can share hers first and then ask for his in return.

OP, here is what I recommend you do: speak to your husband objectively about what happened and how it made you feel (i.e., even though I think his actions were insensitive, please try your best to keep such judgments out of the initial discussion). Be sure to consider that sometimes, it's what he didn't do that hurt your feelings.

> When you went to sleep in the other room last night, I felt hurt and embarrassed - especially because you didn't invite me to come sleep with you.

Then, express a good faith desire to resolve the issue together and strengthen your bond

> Physical intimacy with you is important to me. I want to feel good about it, and I want you to feel good about it, too.

This is when I think it makes most sense to ask what he's feeling.

> Can you tell me what you were feeling when I squirted the other night? I know you might be worried that your response could hurt my feelings, but I'll do my best to listen, accept, and understand the truth.

And then you can work on a solution!

From a practical perspective, there's a handy solution to this that's been posted before.

(Long story short, OP from that thread really loves these pads.)

So about patches falling off and whatnot, that used to happen to me. I ended up ordering a roll of Tegraderm from Amazon. It's nice because it's waterproof but really thin so I don't really feel it. I end up using this stuff to help get it off otherwise I end up pulling off a layer of skin and things being red and irritated for a while. As for changing it a day early I can't imagine that would hurt anything.

On the subject of changes that's a super ymmv kind of thing and strongly dependant on what your levels look like. Depending on your starting dosages they could be heading in the right direction but not where they need to be to see meaningful effects and even once they are out may take a bit before you see anything noticeable. Honestly subtle mental effects are what I saw first. At the time I want sure if it was just being excited at making progress or if what I was seeing was real (significant reduction in anxiety and a generally more positive mood and outlook; I was generally a happier person). In hindsight I can honestly say I think it was both because when my levels got a bit outta whack I felt worse and my anxiety levels were higher on average for no discernable reason. Upon raising my E dosage I started feeling better within a couple days. But that's my experience and yours may be totally different; I know I never experienced some of the things that seem to be otherwise fairly common.

Hope that helps!

As others said liberator makes a blanket but honestly this is what I'd recommend: The northshore champion washable underpad from Amazon!!! https://www.amazon.com/NorthShore-Champion-Washable-Underpad-X-Large/dp/B001IN46NU its a machine washable big like mat that's fairly soft on one side (not fluffy like a blanket but it's soft) and if you put it under you (you can get a big one, mine is like the width of half the bed) it holds an incredible amount of liquid and most of the reviews show that people are using it for squirting. There's even a now-famous Reddit post about it: /r/sex/comments/nvdnu/my_perfect_solution_for_squirters_and_the_mess_we/

It's inexpensive, totally reusable and easy to pop in the washing machine and you can buy a couple to have on hand. And waaaaay easier than washing the sheets!!

>What are some of my options out there, anyone have an advice for me?

I'll be honest, ever since we've had all of these wonderful companies making ABDL specific diapers, I've mostly used them and thus can really only speak to the cutesy printed stuff. I also don't really use any of the lower capacity offerings, but here it is:


I can say Rearz Safari is, in my opinion the best diaper on the market, incredibly absorbent, quite thick and a darn cute print. They do run a bit expensive and are probably overkill for what I imagine the average bedwetter voids. If it's something you'd be interested in, they also have a darn cute Princess Pink diaper too.


Bambino sells them, as does the official Rearz website.

ABU has the Space/LittlePawz Diapers that are similar absorbancy and a little cheaper. They offer an all white diaper called Simple if you don't want prints. Preschools might also work for you depending on the absorbancy you need.

I've not tried them myself, but I do find the print awesome on the Tykables Overnight Diapers, but I've heard good things about them.

https://tykables.com/products/overnights

On the medical diaper side:

Dry 24/7 worked well the last time I tried them (Maybe 2 years ago or so?)

https://www.amazon.com/ConfiDry-24-Absorbency-Diapers-Medium/dp/B00MAPONSS/

Northshore's brand did well too (same timeframe)

https://www.amazon.com/NorthShore-Supreme-Briefs-Medium-Pack/dp/B00NI5A2M0/

I got my 670g + cgm about 1 month ago.. so far so good. It's a bit needy, and yes sometimes despite your best efforts, it will wake you up at night (probably averaging 1 night a week). However, I've not hit 300 sugar in almost a month.. and I was 0% under 70 for last 10 days or so, average of 85%~ in range which is pretty good for me. I think it sort of forces you to just pay more attention, and act more.. which admittedly I probably hadn't been doing as much as I should have.

​

Here are some tips for the sensors, just put on a new one this morning:

- these are better than the 2-3 tape ovals: https://www.amazon.com/SIMPATCH-Adhesive-Freestyle-Enlite-Guardian/dp/B076N4RP4L/ one and done

- clean sensor area with alcohol (important to get a good clean base)

- insert sensor, but before you remove the first bottom part of adhesive and really stick it, use these: https://www.amazon.com/Skin-TacTM-Adhesive-Barrier-Wipes-count/dp/B002NSCHY4/ and wipe under that adhesive, then around in a big oval for the simpatch that will go on next

- put on the simpatch.. will stick like a champ: https://imgur.com/a/7aMy2kp

- these are good to wipe down the sensor (and your arm) after removal: https://www.amazon.com/Skin-Tac-H-Adhesive-TacAway-Remover-Wipes/dp/B002672TV8/

​

Hope that helps! PM me any time if you have questions i'll be happy to share my experiences so far with it.

So you probably won't read this as you've got a ton of replies, but I'll throw my own into the mix.

My current SO and I use this particular absorbent pad. It's ridiculous how much fluid it can hold. I have no clue how other people answering here are able to just use towels (especially beach towels lol). My SO manages to soak through 4 layers of towels and I don't want to constantly wash towels lol.

To be completely honest, I casually saw another squirter a while back and I wasn't a huge fan of it. It was exciting/fun at first, but then it kinda became annoying. That was for a casual relationship though. With that said, I love my current SO very much and really enjoy making her squirt. Originally she was pretty self-conscious and apparently embarrassed about it. I reassured her that I enjoy it and want to make her feel good. She still gets a little grossed out by herself, but we laugh about it.

My advice to you is to be upfront to partners about this before you get too intimate like, "just so you know, I tend to get very very wet when I get too excited." I'd hope they get the hint. If things transpire and they are childish about it or even make you feel bad, remember there are many other people out there that won't.

I like putting pretty much everything I own on half.com. You don't get charged for making listings, and they stay on forever. They do take a cut off of what you make, but it's nice being able to make listings for even the most esoteric items and have someone pick it up a couple of months down the line.

Even though I sell a bunch of books, CD's, and video games for the bare minimum ($0.75), you get compensated for the shipping (which is usually more than necessary) and it's such a nicer feeling selling something than throwing it out.

I buy large tyvek envelopes in bulk, and use medical pads for the padding and I can pretty much fit anything in there (books, CD's, games, etc).

It's not much, but I always make $50-75/mo. which is great considering I never use the things I sell and like freeing up space.

I live in deep south Texas where temps are already in the triple digits before noon, with humidity over 70%. Its absolutely miserable about 8 months out of the year here, so I've had to come up with tricks to combat melting into a puddle.


I use Dress Shields with blazers when I wear a sleeveless top underneath or sweaters I don't want to dry clean every time. They kind of remind me of a..... panty liner. Just peel, stick, and throw away after. You can cut them to fit for shorter sleeves, or even just in half and stick them under the sleeve of a sleeveless top.

Also, this stuff literally prevents sweat. Like, completely dry under arms. I use it every 3rd night. I still use antiperspirant during the day, but it makes whatever I wear all the more effective.


Make sure read the active ingredients in whatever antiperspirant you're already using. If its under 18% Aluminium chlorohydrate or aluminium-zirconium tetrachlorohydrate, its probably not enough to do any good.
Mitchum is one of the best drugstore options with a higher active ingredient percentage.


Also, aerosol deodorant (like that Axe stuff for men) works really well for other areas, like boob sweat, or small of the back.

If you have a good enough relationship, you should be able to be honest with her. You need her to be 100% confident that you love her squirting and you DO NOT want her to stop. On the other hand, you don't want to soak your mattress every time she squirts. IMO, there isn't a stealthy way to protect your mattress and sheets.

Once you've had this heart to heart conversation, you need to make some investments to deal with her beautiful eruptions. First get a plastic mattress cover. Second, get washable/waterproof bedpad to put under her beforehand.

Something Like This

I was so turned on by the thought of a girl squirting that I taught my wife how to! It took a while for her to become comfortable and learn how to just let go, but it was so worth it. She doesnt always squirt, but when she does it is the fucking hottest thing ever. She loves it too, and says that it is a completely different feeling of orgasm. So embrace it, you are one of the lucky ones! I am sure some men find it gross, but then again some men find eating pussy gross. Just move along when you come across one, because there are plenty of us out there that absolutely love it.

While towels make an ok last resort, I HIGHLY recommend THESE

We wondered the same thing at first however our experience has been that infusion sites do come out occasionally but not because of rough playing. It is more that my kid scratches them off (hey sometimes things get itchy) while sleeping or they came of in the bath (we take showers now).

The two products that help in this regard are SPIbelts and SkinTac My kid wears the SPIbelt with the pump 24hrs a day. We rotate through about five of them and swap them out with each site change. The SkinTac keeps the site on the skin quite well. It is basically Rosin and alcohol. When you take the site off you can use the complimentary product Tac Away which removes the Rosin.

The only downside to a pump at a young age is that your kids bottom is really the only place you can put the infusion sites. Yes, the back of the arms work too but those with young kids will understand how impractical that would be. We rotate. Two sites per 'cheek' and then switch to the other side. My kid was potty-trained when we started and only wears pull-ups at night so we avoided any unnecessary messiness. I have no idea how parents with younger kids manage with a pump and my hat is off to them. I remember diapers.

Still the urine in the pull-up did aggravate old infusion sites. We turned to Desitin and/or Neosporin and things cleared up.

All in all, it was the best thing we have done so far in managing our child's Type 1 diabetes. I highly recommend trying one out. Good luck to you.

I hear you, but he’s right, and I can say, as someone who also doesn’t love plastic pants either, that I’m finding I really like the PUL ‘plastic’ pants that I’ve tried from GaryWear:

https://www.amazon.com/GaryWear-Active-Brief-Large-Gray/dp/B00B8N8WEY

I tried one pair and liked them enough that I’ve gone ahead and bought a couple more. They really do help a lot with smell, and they come in various colors to suit either of you as needed. I like them both for when I’m concerned with possible leaks, but mainly if I’m going to be wearing outside and I’m worried about having to bend over or if my shirt may come up above my waist line. I’d much rather they see a pair of these in black or blue than see an ABU diaper. :)

-Wash clothes, blankets, sheets, etc for baby now. Laundry should be last on your priority list when you bring him home!

-Buy these now. You'll also want to have nursing pads at the ready for when your milk comes in. (I totally didn't even think about it, and when my milk came in, I had to sleep with diapers on my boobs until stores opened the next day.

-Make sure your SO packs enough clothes for the hospital. Double check his bag. I trusted mine to be able to handle it, and he packed a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of socks. No pajamas, underwear, undershirts, or deodorant.

-Make goody bags for your nurses. They won't admit to it, but they'll like you more. You'll have one every 12 hours for L&D, and then usually one for you and one for baby every 12 hours in the Mother/Baby unit. I included a pack of M&M's, pop chips, reese's cups, a pack of gum, and some trail mix.

-If you deliver vaginally, you might be more comfortable sleeping in a chair the first couple of nights. I loved the recliner at the hospital and my husband rather enjoyed getting to sleep in the bed.

But aren't the patches designed to release a steady amount every day for seven days? Hrm. I know there's at least one pharmacist on this subreddit but I don't remember their username!

Apparently petrolatum based stuff works well. Vaseline was okay, baby oil (mineral oil) was better, and goo gone (the blue medical version) has been the best! Although this stuff actually has better reviews on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E5BKVE/

PLEASE READ: THIS IS THE BEST DEAL I CAN FIND!

Here is the best deal I can find on the Abena M4.

It's under $60, has free shipping, and will arrive to you quick! It's sold from a great seller and I can't recommend these enough!

These things are the best! My husband and I use them and have hadn’t had to change our sheets. All of our fluids stay in the pad. I’m a squirter, so this is an awesome buy for us. It doesn’t feel like a towel or a pee pad. It’s comfortable to lay on. I honestly forget it’s there in the midst of things.

Just say no to the department store brands! Even if you're considering them for solely cost purposes, there are so many better options on Amazon for practically the same price. I recommend starting with something like Abena and possibly upgrading from there.

As far as wearing in public, only wearing super thick padding or tight pants over it will give it away visually, assuming you can conceal any potential waddle. Wearing undies over diapers to compress them can help, but may take away from their absorbency.

If you're wetting, both smells and leaks can be a concern. While plastic pants may seem like a steep investment for someone just dabbling in the kink, they're the best insurance that neither will become obvious in public. Along the same lines, I find plastic-backed padding will keep the smell of pee contained far better than cloth-backed can.

Its super hot, dated a girl who squirted for a while. Plenty of guys will agree, and those who dont? Well, dont waste time on them.

Also, Amazon sells great waterproof pads you can lay down to protect sheets/mattress/carpet/etc. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZI98NK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_oaROzb14XMMPP Cant recommend them enough.

You and your future lovers are quite lucky

To add on to your puppy pee pad comment, I bought some of these after seeing them suggested often. They're about half the price of the amazon pee pads and a lot of the reviews suggest them for use on the changing pad :) Of course, I haven't used them yet.

We decided not to breastfeed early on for personal reasons and I've gotten some snarky comments and pressure from friends and family. I understand why people are encouraged to breastfeed, but I wish that people wouldn't shame formula-feeders in the process.

Late congratulations on your little one :)

I think everyone else pretty well commented on the cleaning side of things, I can offer some advice on the sheets side. Get yourself one or two mattress pads. My boyfriend and I bought four cheap from Amazon, the kind that are meant to be used in hospitals (so they're super durable, and very absorbent), and put one on top of the sheets whenever we go to have sex. Whatever gets on the pad will not leak through, and your sheets are good to go for snuggling right after! :)

Here's an example just to show what I mean.

Amazon sell these awesome reusable washable pads. They're huge and really durable. Highly recommended. I also like the grass/sod in the kiddie pool idea. Could even lay grass on top of these reusable pads too.

Why not just buy an extra top sheet or a super soft towel. Satin or soft cotton pillow case would probably work too. If you are willing to spend some money, you can look at the liberator/fascinator throe or something cheaper but less sexy like this. We have a the throe because my wife squirts on occasion which makes much more of a mess than what you are describing so that may not be necessary. That said, it's almost a part of foreplay when we lay that out.

Best of luck.

Tena Slip Maxi hold about as much as an Abena M3 and absorb very quickly. They're half as thick as well. In terms of what you can buy on Amazon you may want to try Northshore Supreme and Northshore Lite. Northshore supreme are fairly thick for daytime wear. I don't know what your body type is, but I'm 6'1, fairly skinny, and wear mostly skinny jeans and stuff, those wouldn't work for me during the day (Not discrete). Hence why I use the Tena Slip. The Northshore Lite diapers are thicker than Tena slip and hold less.

Northshore Supreme:

A thick, washable pad like this one works very well. Also great for squirters. I find it easier to enjoy things when I'm not worried about the mess afterwards. I don't own enough towels to properly protect my bed, haha.

Not the same person, but we carry these hospital blankets with us, these and if she needs to go we lay it on the grass (we have her harness and leash on so we can make sure she doesn't get off of it) and encourage her to potty and praise her when she does.

You can also look for areas you're POSITIVE no dogs ever get to, but of course there's always that slight risk.

I love these. They clean up beautifully.

Hey! These work great for me and my girlfriend! No noise, soft enough to just toss over the sheets and enjoy yourselves, and super affordable. They're machine washable and can hold SO MUCH liquid.

Oh girl.. disposable mats for the tops of changing pads are THE BEST. Poopsplosion? Set him down and clean him up, then roll up the whole thing and toss. Total lifesaver. Accidental pee during diaper change? Wipe him down, roll it up and toss! No extra laundry!

Sort of like how I mix my larger batchings.

I suggest pipette pumps. The glass pipettes can be a pain to use without them. Makes them easier to clean also. (They are cheaper than glass or plastic syringes/pipettes in the long run.) Or you could look into calibrated graduated cylinders. Pipettes are handy to have with larger batchings. Plus they have the long necks, to pull deep out of containers.

Here is what I use for my calibrated borosilicate glass: (If it is not lab calibrated, just do it yourself. Check the meniscus is correct, if not adjust it.)

• pumps and pipettes 1-5-10ml
  
• 10ml grad. Cylinder
  
• 25ml grad. Cylinder
  
• 50ml beaker
  
• 100ml beaker
  
• 250ml beaker
  
• pyrex kitchen mixing bowl (about 2 quarts) - multi-purpose use.
  
  A pro-tip for glassware and cleaning. You know it is clean. When clear water does not collect on it. It sheens off. The reason I like glass. No smells over time. Plus super easy to clean mid-mix. A bit of dish detergent laced water. Then rinse until clear water does not stick/pool to the sides of the glass.
  
  Now for the paper towels. Plastic cling wrap is really good for larger areas. It enhances the paper towel's coverage, in case of spillage. Plus it's cheap. I have impermeable underpads. Which is about the same principle.
  
  The pads make it much easier to clean up afterwards. You could get them at most pharmacies, but try and avoid the 22x35 versions. Unless your battle station is big enough. If there is a major spill, most pads handle more then you would have mixing at one time... Or what would spill, before reacting to correct it. No reason to toss them after every mix. So they go a very long ways per towel. So easier and cheaper for the long haul. Oh yeah, they work good with glass not 'tinking' on hard surfaces.
  
  If you haven't met this glove yet... They make every other glove it's bitch for mixing.. they fit really good, chemical resistant, and most of all the tips hold slippery shit. Perfect for our needs mixing!! They can be gotten really cheap too. I don't use gloves because 100mg is dangerous. I use it, to keep my hands clean. In case of something getting on my mitts. I change out gloves and move on. (100mg is dangerous, hence why I use chem resist gloves.)
  
  One thing for the last. I didn't see your "rubbermade" tub. Do you have one that holds all your supplies? If not, consider getting one. Keeping everything in there, unless you have immediate need of it.
  

we have covers but just to make it look nice. We use puppy pad like things that are rectangular so they for perfect. My 6 week old has peed on the table at least 3 times and I just have to pick it up and put a new one down.

Sounds like you want some Gary Active wear briefs:

https://www.amazon.com/GaryWear-Active-Brief-Large-Gray/dp/B00B8N8WEY

They're not so much 'plastic' pants as rubber, but they're the best I've used. The interior fabric is a soft stretchy rubber material, while the outside is cloth. Very discreet as they essentially make no noise, and the outside fabric works well under other clothing. I use them if I know I'm going to go #2 in the diaper I'm wearing (helps keep smells limited), or if I sleep in a diaper overnight. I know I've had instances where I've flooded my diaper while sleeping and these contained the leak really well.

They come in pretty neutral colors and aren't easily distinguished from other laundry.

Sorry I'm late to the dance, but get yourself some SkinTac. I swear by this stuff since I wear the OmniPod, as well. By the time I need to swap out pods and sensors, it's like ripping off a fresh Bandaid - it sticks really well.

Amazon has a box for $12, but if you have insurance, go through your provider. I pay about $4 a box.

These are a lifesaver! They absolutely will not soak through, and they can take a LOT of liquid. Wash like any towel and they are durable. A must have for any squirter. We have a stack of them next to the bed. The product image sure isn't sexy, but they are affordable so you can have many on hand and they get the job done.

Edit: I would recommend the 34x36" or larger.

There are few options. You just have to be prepared.

You can use waterproof underpads. They have disposable ones. Or reusable ones. [There are many kinds]
(http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/medline-washable-underpad-30-in.-x-34-in./ID=prod6013826-product). You can keep a few on hand in strategic locations, and they are easy to move around and use.

You can get a waterproof mattress pad (with a sheet is nicer but without works too) that you place over your sheets and pull off when done and you have a nice, dry bed underneath.

Wool is absorbent so you could use any wool blanket as well. Or any waterproof blanket.

Or a combination of all or some of the above works too. Especially if you don't always have sex in bed.

Also parent of a 6 month old girl here.

I think we've used those changing stations once. Ever. We bring a chux pad wherever we go and change her on top of that. You can quickly turn any reasonable surface in to a changing area. We also bring disposable gloves in case hand washing facilities aren't available.

As far as bars go, in Albany we've only been to Orchard Tavern. They loved her there. We usually take her out nearby in downtown Troy. She's been to the Confectionery and Plumb Oyster Bar several times. One of the bartenders at Plumb is a doula and held her for a while. She's been to Dinosaur, Nighthawks, and Little Rice Ball less often, but those were all good experiences as well.

This item is great! Easy to wash and we have never had any leaks or anything. I wash they came in a larger size but we will probably end up just getting another to lay beside it. We just lay it down when we know pee stuff will happen, then toss it aside to wash it the next day when it is time to sleep.

BTW, these work wonders for keeping the bed dry and are much easier to wash:

I have a really heavy flow, and I recently bought these, Always Discreet Underwear: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KXUW72G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glA2xbF9MG8MT

They feel sort of like diapers (a little thinner) and are super comfy and absorbent. They help me feel littler on my period, so maybe you'd like them too??

You could use disposable under-arm shields. Amazon link to an example.

I've never used them, but my mom used to use something similar when she went to work and she loved them! I'd just make sure that the adhesive doesn't stick to your suit lining and leave residue when removing the shield. When this happened to my mom (not very often, usually just with one in particular), dry cleaning took it right out!

I bought a bunch of silk t-shirts and tank top and am afraid to wear them because I sweat maybe more than normal. I love the feel of silk though! I'm considering buying these maxipads for your armpits Has anyone tried them/ does anyone have any suggestions for making silk more wearable. (Obviously these are only a solution for the tshirts I know).

Amazon sells these amazing [bed pads] (http://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Bedpads-34x36-absorbs-1800cc/dp/B0002DMPFS/ref=pd_sim_hpc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0D75D86QZB032PW2XY1K). They're machine washable and fold up nicely for storage or travel. We used to use towels but when I had my Paraguard IUD, the blood was too much and soaked through.

PS Good for you!

Get a few of these bed protectors. Toss them in the wash when you're done. Cheap and they protect. Trust me. They work MUCH better than towels. There's a reason hospitals use them. They work and they're inexpensive.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IN46NU/ref=oh_o06_s00_i01_details


I am in a similar boat... check this out for when you do have sex. I am a squirter and my man sweats like wild haha, this helps keep the bed completely dry. :)

Has anyone ever tried underarm shields? I'm in interview season and one of my favorite interview outfits involves a sleeveless blouse under a blazer and the pits are super gross now with deodorant caked in them (I mean, at least I'm wearing it, right?). I didn't think these were actually a thing until I googled it, but they are. Just curious if they're worth trying?

Looking at the listing I suppose they’re actually for humans because they don’t have the chemical attractant but I call them puppy pads. We like these — the size is nice for changing pads. We also use really big ones in the car if we have to change a baby in the back of the SUV.

We use the toddler bed pads. They usually hold up to 2 cups of fluid. Easy wash, easy dry and soft. The saddle style tuck into your mattress/box spring to stay in place ( you could use 2 together if you want more coverage)

They're about $20

Adult incontinence bed pads are bigger.

Edit: (something like this) https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Washable-Underpad-Protector-Incontinence/dp/B00CX6JAUK

I bought one of those pads they give you in the hospital that you sit on to catch fluids from Amazon. Got a huge one. Saved my sheets. Highly recommend.

Edit: This https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUEVH9X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NV0dBbP16XE51

I just recently received mine as well and have been soaking up information about it as much as possible.

I recently bought these 2 products to help with managing the sites:
[Skin-Tac Adhesive Barrier Wipes](
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NSCHY4/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1)

and Uni-Solve Adhesive Remover Wipes - 50/bx

One helps further cement the sensor to your skin, and the other helps dissolve the adhesive at the end of the week.

Thanks. I'm looking it up now - is this what you get?

https://www.amazon.com/Skin-TacTM-Adhesive-Barrier-Wipes-count/dp/B002NSCHY4

It looks like it's just wipes though. How do wipes help with the adhesiveness? 0-0

So I know I'm late to the party, but everyone with this problem needs to check these out. I have the same thing with my girlfriend, and it works really well. Afterwards I toss it in the washer and dryer and it's ready to go again. I haven't had any wet spots on my bed in a whole year!

This is one we bought that is much cheaper. It actually does better than the liberator because it is far more absorbant (we have both).

Lay it underneath you, squirt to hearts content, throw in washer. Rinse, repeat.

I like to put down one or two of these under a bedspread or light blanket that's easily washed. They're very absorbent and waterproof, does the trick! You can just whip them off and have a dry bed. Might be a good idea to get a waterproof mattress cover just in case you overshoot it, though. I know how it is!

They were blue.

I ended up switching to reusable incontinence pads for humans that could be washed in the washing machine as disposables were too costly in the end.

I moved and it's better/safer to take him outside more often so we don't use anything like that anymore, though.

Edit: These are the human version I'd switched to.

Edit 2: I also had switched to the human ones because I sometimes feed messy food/treats and it made it easier for him to have a dedicated place to eat it on. So a couple were dedicated only for potty and the rest for other stuff. Worked really well for us.

Wife is one. We just go wish something like these. Come in different sizes. Throw in the wash with some bleach and good to go. Have a stack in the bedroom.

Definitely look into a waterproof mattress pad. They're great in general for protecting your mattress from sweat, etc. There are many that aren't crinkly.

There's an old post from /r/sex that suggests these waterproof pads.

Abenas are these: https://www.amazon.com/Abena-Abri-Form-Comfort-Plastic-Backed/dp/B004GJOB10

You order them online. If you're concerned about getting them in the mail and your wife is like, "Honey, what the heck is this?" get a P.O. Box and have them shipped there.

The best you can buy at the store are the Depend Protection w/ Tabs or Walgreens (https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-certainty-fitted-briefs-maximum-absorbency-medium/ID=prod3958818-product). I recommend neither, really, unless you're drip incontinence. If you're a "flooder," you're going to leak.

If you’re experiencing things slipping off, try these!

skin tac amazon link

Wipe them on where you’re going to apply and it will make the adhesive better! I have a Libre attached right now with no issues, it got caught on my tee shirt a couple days ago but it’s still going strong.

Use chux anywhere you have to sit/lay. This will make sure that you aren't getting it on sheets, couches, chairs, beds, etc. and not leaking through. It will help control it and hopefully keep from spreading it.

Lol my mom's a nurse so I have one of those washable absobant bed pads, and kotex ultra thin overnights + diva cup + white undies.

I take no chances, I love my luxe bedding.

Thought of another one!

I use adult incontinence bed pads on both mattresses. I have 2 for each bed, and place them underneath the general butt area. Beds are layered like this: sheet, pad, waterproof mattress pad. I've started adding another sheet and pad layer for middle of the night swaps. I LOVE these pads and no one seems to have any idea what I'm talking about.

It works. have fun. There are green ones on amazon, but these pink are better.

I looooove these for during pregnancy they go under the bump so they're super comfy. They run really small so size up if you get them.

Postpartum, I'm wearing these sexy things ooo la la!!

One of these threads turned up a while back, and the general consensus among heavy squirters were that these pads were the best way to have squirty sex without all the sheet/mattress hassle. Soft top-layer, waterproof backing and washable.

This one saw us through a year of bedsharing, and was comfortable and not at all crinkly / noisy: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003PWNH4Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know you probably can’t use amazon but here is what a chuck is disposable and washable. The washable ones seem to last a bit over a year and a half, but would probably last much longer if they were air dried. They make it easy to lift someone to slide them up the bed, but the disposable can’t be used that way.

Reusable chucks pads

Another style

Or, you can get the disposable style and just toss them (but they are crinkly and might not stay where you put them as well)

Just keep them by the bed and you can be just as spontaneous as ever, only have a better chance at a dry bed to sleep in afterwards (much better fluid blocking than a towel).

Yes, tell the other couple.

Buy three of these so you have two ready to go while one is in the wash.

Without a doubt, skintac. I use this and it's perfect.

This is the protector pad for squirters and gushers:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IN46NU/ref=oh_o06_s00_i01_details

It's soft on the business side and isn't noisy. Unlike the Liberator deal, which is repellant, it's absorbent and easily washed. It's very institutional and looks like what it is; an absorbent pad for bed-ridden elderly. My girl is so happy that I bought some for her. She rolls half of it up for round one, then rolls up the wet side and uses the dry side for round two.

We use this uni-solve brand and it seems to work great:

Tac-Away always works great for me.

Just in case some people may not be aware, a lot of the absorbent pads geared towards dogs have an added chemical coating for absorbency or sometimes scents for the ultra potent puppy pee smell. You’ll want to make sure the ones you buy don’t have this and are geared for human use. Chux is the “brand name” of these type of pads, also called underpads.

These fit exactly on the pad that came with my diaper bag. A box of 100 lasts me months. Amazon Disposable Underpads

> 2. In the US, I think the only place to buy Plastic Backed Abena M4's would be XP Medical?

XP, Amazon (plus several Marketplace sellers), Northshore, KCK and I'm sure others carry them too. You can still get the plastic backed M4s in large part because of the efforts of the owner of XPMedical who campaigned directly to Abena to keep making them but you can buy them in lots of places still...

AHH THE MESS! How do you ladies deal with it?

Towels don't cut it. I've tried these thick washable pads from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IN46NU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) too. They work pretty great, but... they're not quite large enough all of the time. Also, the amount of laundry I keep having to do is getting ridiculous.

I know some of you have mentioned restricting it to the shower...which I could do.... but... it's hard to control. I'd hate to try to give it up too as it's kind of an enjoyable experience. (And a great way to fall asleep!).

Suggestions???

My wife squirts a lot during sex (if she wants to), so we use something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IN46NU/ref=oh_o06_s00_i01_details). It's not that expensive, you just keep it by the bed or where your towels are. I think it can interrupt the moment but for us we don't mind, just takes a second to run and get it and it absorbs EVERYTHING you can throw at it. Then you just throw it in the wash, easy cleanup

I did something similar - got this to put under the sheets. My water did not break at home, but the pad was useful after the birth to contain boob leaks.

We use these changing pads on top of a cushion pad for easy use. cheap to use and dispose whenever it's needed.

This won't get rid of the existing stains but might help prevent new ones, especially in the summer when you don't want to wear an undershirt.

Are you looking for something to cover the bed when you're not in it? I had a queen size bed, and I used a king sized water proof fitted sheet to cover the bed when I wasn't in it.

​

Do your dogs stay in one spot on the bed? There are tons of fabric pads that you could use. A lot of people use them for medical reasons. Like this or this (much bigger).

​

I also found this site, Or this site has a flat sheet. I can't speak to their quality, as I haven't used either brands before.

Space or Tykables overnights.

Sofnit 300 Washable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FED594?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I bought these for the same reason, they have lasted me for 4 years and going strong.

Buy a stack of these and have fun.

https://www.amazon.ca/NorthShore-Champion-Washable-Underpad-2X-Large/dp/B007ZI98NK

Have your fun. Take it off the bed. Wash it. Repeat. Holds a ton of fluid.

Amazon has very reasonably priced bedpads (incontinence pads). I personally have several due to the sheer amount of fluid my SO can produce. I swap out after each squirting orgasm and I've never had spots on the bed....I have however been showered multiple times.

Hers smells and tastes very sweet.

Haven't tried it but it looks like this cheaper alternative is a hit: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B001IN46NU

I use a mattress protector and I've noticed that it'll prevent certain stains, but it's not 100% waterproof. Laying down a towel or two didn't help much either.

I recently bought this and it's been a game changer. It's waterproof and easily machine washable!

Sounds so stressful. Sorry you had such an experience. Mine is older so I just change the diaper standing up, but for younger kids, I recommend keeping [chux pads] (https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Disposable-Underpads-Chux-Large/dp/B000FCYGGC/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=3CP5OPSYU7497&keywords=adult+chux+pads&qid=1556499184&s=gateway&sprefix=adult+chux&sr=8-7) in your diaper bag for situations like this. Use once and discard. I heard pet pee pads may contain ingredients not necessarily approved for human use.

Buy some of these. They saved my parents from buying my sister a new mattress through the potty training stage. We put them under the sheet so she wouldn't get freaked out by the pad.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IN46NU/ref=oh_o06_s00_i01_details

These are even better. Throw it on top of the bed. Have sex. Throw it off the bed and into the wash. Dry sheets. Problem solved.

Some do. It all depends on what you get. I used to use these, but they fall apart easily. https://www.amazon.com/Abena-Abri-Form-Comfort-Plastic-Backed/dp/B004GJOB10

Get a few of something like this pad. Also you should get a waterproof mattress cover like this. That way you've got two levels of liquid defense.

They make pee pads for old ppl with inconsistent bladders. http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Disposable-Underpads-Chux-Large/dp/B000FCYGGC Slip one of those underneath you if you want to try it someplace other than the shower or the toilet. Nothing gets through them. Also if you have tile floors and old towels, try doing it there and clean up after.

> "I don't care if you wet the bed. Just strip the bed and change first thing."

Stripping the bed sounds like a lot of work. When my 7yo was wetting the bed, I got her a stack of these: Bedpad That way, when she noticed the bed was wet, she could fling it into a laundry basket and put another one on the bed. Takes far less time than changing sheets.

ETA: I regularly throw these in the wash and they have held up well after 4 years of daily use.

Try using something like this?

Regarding removal, try this: https://www.amazon.com/Nephew-Uni-Solve-Adhesive-Remover/dp/B000E5BKVE

Put a few drops all around the fabric part, then let it sit for a minute or two. It should peel off much easier.

Champion Blue Disposable Underpads (Chux) - you want to get something like these, saves so much on laundry when they decide they weren't done yet.

Amazon - HERE Not sure if these are the best price/deal for this type of use, but they're very sturdy.

Does no one else here use underarm shields when it's hot out? These things are a lifesaver when I have to wear a suit in the summer.

https://www.amazon.com/Kleinerts-Disposable-Underarm-Dress-Shields/dp/B000J09VGA

These are MUCH cheaper and are great for changing and tummy time but probably wouldn't last all night for PP bleeding (not that you get a full night's sleep anyway at that time).

Wear the blue one and get some underarm shields like these: http://www.amazon.com/Kleinerts-Disposable-Underarm-Dress-Shields/dp/B000J09VGA

Abena Abri-Form Comfort Briefs, Medium, M4, 42 Count (3 Packs of 14) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004O9GJ2G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_XbhH92KGl5eBG

These are the ones I order.

You could try these for your underarms. They're "shields of highly absorbent, discreet, convenient disposable underarm shields which adhere securely to all fabrics". http://www.amazon.com/Kleinerts-Disposable-Underarm-Dress-Shields/dp/B000J09VGA

Skin-Tac I easily get an extra week or two out of sensors

I have this problem too. My husband and I use these:
Reusable / Washable waterproof bed pad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QSDFL4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_C7liyb587KDBE

You have to make the effort to get them out and put them on the bed or couch or whatever, but then I can let loose and don't have to worry about changing the sheets after. We have 5 of them, so they get washed once per week or so. Very quiet and work really well to keep everything dry!

I've wondered the same thing. I guess because some people fantasize about some of these things happening to them, and maybe don't talk about them because they seem too weird or taboo. Also, maybe they don't give a whole lot of thought in developing a solid plot sometimes because most of the people watching don't care as much about the plot as they do getting off watching someone have sex or masturbate. I didn't.

One time I watched a video on Pornhub where a woman, who seemed too happy to be there, went to her female "gynecologist" because it burned when she peed. She consulted with the doc at a office desk that ended up being three feet from an exam table when the camera panned out. The doctor put down blue pads on the floor, had the woman lie back on the exam table, feet in the stirrups and instructed her to "show me how you pee". The woman then shot out this gravity-defying long arc of piss while laying flat on her back and it landed perfectly on the pad while the doctor watched. Then they boned. It was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen.

If you need something that can really take anything you throw at it, and you dont mind the looks, you can't beat an underpad for $20. It's loved by heavy squirters and really messy people.

This guy fucks. The real LPT is always in the comments.
Also, these are great so there's no wet spot after

> Is there a trick to preventing sweat stains in shirts?

Like dress shields? I've never tried any of these myself, but they get labelled many things, including "sweat guards", "garment shields", "underarm pads" and others.

He is asking for it. Give it to him.

Pro tip: a nurse I was dating that squirted used these. You can pour cups and cups of water on them without a leak. Plus washable!

Dynarex Disposable Underpad, 17 inches X 24 inches, 100 Count
$12.66 on amazon, things are so much cheaper without a disney/sesame street character on it.

You can double up using tampons and overnight pads. They also sell bed coverings used during surgeries that absorb EVERYTHING so you’re not ruining your mattress (RMS Ultra Soft 4-Layer Washable and Reusable Incontinence Bed Underpads, 18"X24" (3 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUEVH9X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-MVYCb32FBR7A)

My first two periods were TERRIBLE, I would bleed through super tampons every 3 hours. My third and beyond (I’ve had the paragard for almost a year) have been much more normal. 1 kind of heavy day and the rest are very normal

Yup, top rated but cheap product:

This. Apply before putting the sticker on, and afterwards just rub that stuff all over the sticker. Won't come off for a week, showers/exercise and all. No need for extra stickers on top of the sensor.


To remove without the pain, I use this on the sensor's sticker before peeling off: https://www.amazon.com/MedPlus-Services-Uni-Solve-Adhesive-Remover/dp/B000E5BKVE/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481876192&sr=8-3&keywords=uni+solve

Would sweat shields be an option for you?

Have you tried switching to a non-antiperspirant such as this:
http://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Essentials-Deodorant-Fresh/dp/B001CI6RQK

in combination with dress shields? http://www.amazon.com/Kleinerts-Disposable-Underarm-Dress-Shields/dp/B000J09VGA

Dress shields. They have them for men too: http://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Underarm-Dress-Shields-Kleinerts/dp/B000J09VGA

You can probably get them at a large drugstore or a Target or Kmart

My girlfriend has squirted just about every single time we have had sex for a year now. A LOT. Bought two of these; never looking back.

My partner and I considered that one and balked at the price before finding this mat for $20 that's linked elsewhere in the thread: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IN46NU/ref=oh_o06_s00_i01_details You would still probably have to wash and dry the Liberator after each use, so with the Northshore mat you can buy a few and toss them in the laundry as needed.

Or sisposable chux pads or washable and reusable under pads

RMS Ultra Soft 4-Layer Washable and Reusable Incontinence Bed Underpads, 18"X24" (3 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUEVH9X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EV35CbFT9ENXR I used these when I had an older cat who didn't always make it off the bed to the litter box. I also use a different set on my heavier days for reasons.

I use incontinence bed pads under my puppy pads to protect the hardwood floor. They're machine washable if the puppy hits the edge of the pad, and don't allow anything to leak through to the floor.

Here's a link to [underarm shields] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J09VGA?psc=1). It looks like there are two different kinds (based on my Amazon search) -- the kind that I linked goes on your clothing. There's another kind that adheres to your skin, but that kind of seemed like a bad idea to me. They do look similar to panty liners, like u/MrsValentine mentioned, and panty liners are a heck of a lot cheaper.

What are you currently using for the extra tape?

We use Opsite Flexifix, which comes in a roll. I cut off four strips, about an inch wide each, and stick them in a # pattern around the sensor, about an eighth of an inch away from the plastic on all sides (to allow for drying — if you seal up the area under the sensor, it'll stay wet too long and likely get irritated).

We also wipe down the entire area (that'll be under the sensor and Opsite strips) with a Skin Tac wipe, which really increases the adhesion overall.

I tried these on a recent job interview. They definitely helped and I think would have been enough for a short interview, but it was an all day thing and I was really nervous, so I ended up with sweat stains on the areas not covered by them.

I use

Skin-Tac™ Adhesive Barrier Wipes... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NSCHY4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And

SIMPATCH Adhesive Patch for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078H3CWZ9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Typically I dont need the sim patch or if I do it's the last few days

If you're a profuse armpit sweater like me, you can buy these expensive ass disposable dress shields ...or you can use pantyliners.

I get mine through the durable medical goods supplier I use since its charged as a deductible and I can use my HRA to pay for it.

Puppy pads are much more expensive then the basic ones you get in the adult diaper or baby isles.

I used these for my senior dog when he had incontinence problems because they are much cheaper.
