Air Force Veteran with Neurogenic Bladder Regains Active Lifestyle Thanks to Premium Adult Diapers

Caleb shares his story

In December of last year, my doctor found multiple cancerous and precancerous tumors in and around my bladder, due to the chemical exposures I have had during my past 12 years of military service. The removal of these caused me to develop a neurogenic bladder. 

This made me spiral into depression, going from being an independent and outgoing Combat Search and Rescue personnel who was extremely active in the community to a shell of myself, afraid to go out after having my first... leak. Having to frequently change in public was nerve-racking and embarrassing enough, but the constant fear of that tell-tale dark spot made me unwilling to go anywhere.  

1. Finally, after a few months of looking, researching, and trial and error, my wife found NorthShore and ordered me samples of everything. I'm not exaggerating when I say I think they saved my life. Being able to go the entire day out or night in without worrying about changing or leaking gave me my confidence back. 

I can go on motorcycle rides, road trips, rock climbing, or spend the entire past week at Universal in Orlando without any fear of issues. 

If you're going through the depression and pain caused by newfound incontinence, or if you've been struggling with it for years, I can tell you 3 things I've learned: 

1. People pay a lot less attention than you'd think.  

2. The extra absorbency is worth the added bulk; it's always better to have more than you need than less.  

3. When in doubt, MegaMax it out. Out for drinks at the bar for hours, movie marathons, there is nothing you will reasonably throw at them that will ever cause a leak. I've tested it myself. 

You aren't alone in this.
