The underwear dilemma...
 

Well, for those of us that have that uncontrollable IBS and we never really know when its going to hit...I heard an interesting conversation yesterday.
I went to Wally's and was just cruising around waiting for my meds to be filled. I was walking slow, taking my time, you'd have thought I was in a beautiful garden looking at all the flowers I was so chilled out.

I heard these two women talking about underwear, one wanted nothing but cotton and wanted wide waistbands, etc. The other wanted underwear that looks more like sports similiar to the ones men wear. I was just letting the words roll in one ear and out the other...then one exclaimed...JUST LOOK AT THE PRICES ON THESE DRAWERS!!

I just kept on criusing, but then I got to thinking about how much money I have probably spent on underwear in the last year alone. I mean, let us just get all serious and realistic here for a moment. I might be in a restaurant, shopping, home...where ever. (underwear protection in place) I might just calmly be walking through Wally's waiting for my meds and just like Emeril Legassie...BAM BAM BAM! It's too late for the bathroom.

Well, here I go, throw away another good pair of drawers. That means, I have to buy two pair. One to put on and the extra just in case, oh yeah, I got clothes in the truck....but I ain't walking through the store and back.

So I thought with underwear dilemma of these two ladies, I could solve their problem...

I TOLD THEM TO NOT WEAR ANY!! Problem solved, one actually laughed so hard she peed her pants. I sadly looked at her and said, Yeep know how ya feel. She was also very interested in MS, someone close to her might be getting that diagnosis, not sure yet.

Anyway...just in case you have this dilemma, hope the suggestion helps!
Remember to do something good for yourself...and pull a prank and run...boy I sho do miss Michigan Tom...he was good prank puller.

Thank goodness it only happens once in awhile, usually go the other way, but if I take some laxative for that problem, get a new one!!!! You'd think I'd learn not to wear my favorites at those times, but no, never do. It never happens when I'm wearing the pair that needs to be retired anyway. Just a mystery of life?

Always have had nice spotles white underwear for all my family and pride myself (and clorox) on such a fine job! Ha, hubby got sick with a bad bleed in his stomach and while waiting for paramedics, he had to go poo real badly. So as medics were getting him to the ambulance he passed out, and of course pooded in his pants big time! Now, how disgusting was that...all those years of snow shite underwear and they did not get to see how nice and white they were! LOL :eek:

OOHHHHH.. If you wear the good stuff, something bad will happen. How's DH feeling now? Bet he's got clean white underwear on.

Everyone on this post has a wonderful sense of humor. I guess we often need to laugh, even when we feel like crying.

I really feel for those of you with the IBS. My mom had it but her problem was constipation. She had the problem since she was a child.

Cannot help with the underwear dilemma. Go with what your comfort is.

I've seen the incontinence panties, but never had the guts to buy them. I feel like I'd crackle when I walked.

Diane:D

Kicker he is fine now cause that was a few years back. I STILL keep the underwear ready to be seen. ROTFLOL . Gaye:)

Nah! They don't crackle. and they're not visible under your clothes either. I've worn them under my clothes, and only me knows that they're there.

I guess buying the first packet is the hardest part, it's like you're giving in or something! But once you get over that and you do buy your first pack, you wonder what took you so long! Honest! :)

As I sat in my wheelchair in front of the incontinence products, well, seemed like others looking at other products were annoying. They annoyed me. Bought menstrual pads for DD, but that didn't bother me and just smiled at the little boy who later in another aisle came over to gawk at the lady in the wheelchair. Kids are so up-front in their gawking, unlike adults (they sneak their peeks) and I appreciate that.

have i told you latley that i love you momma :hug:you are such a hoot!

Tootsie you don't crackle but the Depends do get a little hot. Now I know how and why a lil baby squalls when wet!
Just throw the things in your cart and hold your head up high...then in a loud voice at the check-out say "sure hope my Mom will like this brand". :D
