A frivolous question maybe...

Hello everyone

I was just wondering what type of underwear people started using as their treatment progresses? I have had 6 treatments and can feel a tingling and slight discomfort but am still able to wear 'normal' clothes and underwear. I don't think this will be the case in a few more sessions.

Can anyone recommend alternatives to conventional underwear that is comfy with tender nether regions. I would like to be prepared and don't want to cause unnecessary rubbing. I am also aware that there maybe some leakage as time goes on (so to speak).

Also, what did you wear over the top, baggy trousers, dresses?

Sorry if this is a tad frivolous but any advice/recommendations gratefully appreciated.

Hope you're all having a great day.

Hello Jo

Ah, the dreaded leakage! I had diarrhoea all during treatment and wore Tena incontinence pants, I never actually 'needed' them but I can't say they were the most comfortable. I had great delight in throwing out what was leftover once I had recovered. Others wore big boxer pants so there was no chafing from the seams.

It was winter and I mostly wore dark loose tracksuit bottoms. At home in bed I had incontinence sheets on the bed and wore nothing, that was best of all!

Not a frivolous question in the least, Jo.

Hi Jo

For underwear I wore the trunk type briefs made with a stretch material almost like lycra but not quite that stretchy. They don’t have seams to rub on your groin area and can hold a Tena type pad in place for leaks.

Over the top I just wore baggy shorts with an elastic waste band, no buttons or zips, except on one occasion when I went out between weeks 3 and 4 and I wore jeans, big mistake I wouldn’t recommend it.

Not frivolous at all. I wore mens baggy boxers from Tesco (which unfortunately I'm still wearing) and stretchy yoga pants over the top. I used a sanitary towel when I started to get mucous until it got so bad that the hospital gave me nappies. Xx

Thanks everyone! Looks like baggy is the way to go, or at least seamless. Not looking forward to the tena liners or the nappies I have to admit but better to know the possibilities ahead of time.

Au revoir to the attractive underwear for the time being

Hi Jo (Dahlia68 ),

I prepared by buying some loose fit harem type trousers but didn’t need them, I managed in my ordinary undies & jeans throughout my treatment, having said this my treatment was only 23 days opposed to the standard 28 & the week after I’d finished treatment my skin reaction really kicked off & I spent the next week in baggy PJ’s! Hopefully the good weather will last which will make dressing for treatment a little easier. If your usual undies cause any issues men’s cotton boxers seem to be a popular choice.
