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.

    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.

    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.
