I had a similar experience with my wedding, and, because I was such a nervous wreck besides my normal urge incontinence, and we had to travel quite a distance between my Mom's home, the church and the reception, and my gown was completely unsuitable fo relieve myself without help, I wore a poise pad in a pair of poise panties. it really wasn't overkill in my case. I found that the pad was leaking badly by the time I got to change it. But about 6 hours passed from the time I was dressed by Mom and MOH. Only they knew I was wearing the panties, and only Mom knew I had a pad inside them. it ended well, all went OK with the wedding and reception, with no one ever knowing of my problem and its solution.
i just goit married a couple of month ago n at my wedding i wore a pair of poise pantys with a ultra poise pad so that way if i need to cange my pad i could and the poise pantys were just extra protection it worked preaty good just near the end it started to leak a little but i was leaving so know one noticed and like melissaj only my husband n my maid of honer new about it
I agree with Anne and have never heard of anyone wearing something who didn't have a continence issue. That said, if you have stress incontinence or urge incontinence you might want to consider upping your usual protection. Like Anne, when I got married last year, I opted to wear a brief under my dress and everything went perfectly. My number one suggestion is that regardless the type of protection you choose, to make sure to wear it for your dress fitting and explain it to whoever is helping you. I had to make sure to pick a dress that would hide the fact I was wearing a brief under it. To keep it quiet as well, I also wore a pair of regular brief underpants over it. The only people who knew I had it on were my husband and MOH.
I to have to go more frequently when I nervous, part of having an over-active bladder and part to do with some mild stress incontinence.
When I got married two years ago, I too was worried about always running to the washroom in my wedding dress. As I had been using bladder control pads for a few years, I was somewhat familiar with what was available for protection. I decided that I would try an adult diaper for my special day. I do not think that there are special "bridal diapers", just the regular adult incontinence products.
What I can tell you is if you are worried, use such a product. Short of who helps you get dressed, nobody will be able to tell that you are wearing a diaper under your dress.
I would also sugest that you not only wear a diaper before the big day, but that you also try wetting it. The problem with all the diapers is that they still will leak if over wet and some will let liquids squish out when you sit down. This will help you get more comfortable with them and help ease your fears for the special day.
Well, first of all, congratulations! When's the big day?
I've never heard of anyone who's usually continent choosing to wear a diaper or absorbent product simply for convenience. However, I can offer a little personal perspective, having recently gotten married. I normally wear a Poise Ultra pad. However, leaks do sometimes happen (particularly when I'm moving, dancing, etc..) and I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to change it very easily in such an event. So I decided to wear a Depend brief under my wedding dress and things went well. There were no leaks and noone was the wiser. If you're thinking of doing it, I'd suggest trying them out ahead of time. I found that I had to adjust the brief several times before it was on straight and snug. I also found that it was pretty noisy and I wore a pair of cotton underwear over the brief to quiet it down.
All that said, I honestly don't think you'll find this is necessary if you don't normally have problems with incontinence. In any event, good luck!
someone suggested them since my dress is so large and complicated. I have never heard of such a thing. but maybe its just something no body talks about. I’m nervous about getting into my dress and being nervous makes me have to "go"more often anyway.
The more I think about it. I would like to wear something "just incase" has anyone heard of such a thing as "bridal diapers" or is that just a nice name for a depend?
Thanks, Lisa!
