So that I can have a wee instead of waiting to find a public toilet?

Blush

I don't suffer from a weak bladder I just drink a lot of tea and mineral water.

Oh! Thanks Barbie. :o

Maybe it's some sort of fetish..?

I just can't see why you would even contemplate pissing yourself on purpose if you are able bodied and minded..

ambarth · 08/03/2011 16:55

Bullshit.

OP - I think you must suffer from anxiety about this to have actually thought of the idea in the first place.
If you are going on day trips to usual places (parks, zoos, shops etc) then there will be plenty of toilets around.
There must be some sort of anxiety about whether you'll be able to get to a toilet in time to have even made you think of doing this.

What happens while you are out? Do you try and find a toilet but not get there in time, or do you not even look?
Do you find a toilet afterwards to change the pad or do you wear it home?

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 08/03/2011 17:12

I wonder if OP actually gets some kind of sick pleasure out fo doing this..... Very odd

ilovemyhens · 08/03/2011 17:17

We use Tena pads at work and they have an absorbent gel inside them which absorbs the wet and odour. You don't smell if you change them regularly and wash the skin inbetween changes.

Dunno why anybody would want to wear them if they didn't need them though. We use them for incontinence in the elderly.

Ewwww. This can't be real surely?

StealthPolarBear · 08/03/2011 19:28

OK OP this is not normal - please understand that

InPraiseOfBacchus · 08/03/2011 19:32

I always wondered if some people did this, since I have to admit I've considered it on occasion. Blush

I have a weak bladder and process fluids at the speed of light. I just had to change my drinking habits! It's not that difficult, really! We live in a cool climate, and most of the time don't need to be slugging tea and juice for a walk around town in March.

We don't actually need to take in more than a tiny amount of fluids at all, as a species, unless exercising or in hot weather. We get most of our fluid by breaking down molecules in food, or absorbing it directly from things like fruit and vegetables.

The "eight glasses of water a day" is bullshit.

I work in a Care Home, where they are necessary, but they are changed frequently, and most residents don't smell of wee.
Some do, admittedly, but that's because they refuse to be changed, and they are not forced.
I still cuddle them, but it's not their fault they smell.
Purposely weeing often anywhere other than the toilet, is weird.

Were you in my Zumba class last week?

Someone's Tena Lady had certainly reached saturation point.

catwhiskers10 · 08/03/2011 19:41

Omg! Lol. I suppose it's quite a good idea but I wont be trying it!

pumperspumpkin · 08/03/2011 19:45

Is this some complicated analogy about women who don't potty train because they can't be bothered?

compo · 08/03/2011 19:45

Fgs babies wear nappies
they don't stink of wee

BooBooGlass · 08/03/2011 19:45

You've clearly never met my ds then compo Grin

YesPleaseDrChristian · 08/03/2011 19:47

Compo my DD's nappy stinks after 12 hours twiddling overnight.

compo · 08/03/2011 19:49

Op isn't suggesting wearing a tena pad for 12 hours though

slightlymad72 · 08/03/2011 19:52

I hope that there aren't any genuine tena lady users reading this thread, they will be mortified thinking that they smell of urine.

People that use them DO NOT smell of wee, as long as they are changed reqularly.

Do women that use sanitary towels smell of menstrual blood?

Woah woah woah....

How horrible, everyone saying Tena are gross etc.

Lots of women have incontinence issues at some point of their life.

To go on about the OP being disgusting & smelling of wee is going to upset a lot of ladies with pelvic floor ishoos, regardless of whether the OP is bullshitting or not.

QueeferSutherland · 08/03/2011 19:58

Wow, slooooow x-post. Soz.
