Hi Everyone,



I have posted this article in my group and I thought I would share it
with this group Because kids that have ADHD have a higher occurrence of
incontinent issues then the general public.!



Since summer is once upon on us, and the issue of traveling and summer
camp for kids always comes up. So I would like to share my thoughts with
the group in regard to these issues.



Once again I would like emphasize that incontinent products (Diapers,
Pull-ups) are nothing more than another form of underwear, and because
you wear these products it does not make you any less or any better than
anyone else just like wearing glasses. No one thinks any less of anyone
who needs to wear glasses nor should you think any less of yourself
because you need to wear protection, again it is just another form of
underwear.



Where you chose to spend the night



When traveling where you chose to spend the night whether it is at hotel
or at a family or friends house. You must be considerate where you are
going to stay, because of possibility of accidents from leakage from
your protection.



With Hotels



With hotels you may be held liable for ruining a mattress that was not
protected. If you inform them that your family has incontinent issues
then they know and could provide antiquate protection for the mattress.
Remember they deal with the traveling public all the time, and hearing
about incontinent issues is a very common thing that they deal with.



Now if you chose not to inform the hotel, because you wish to be
discreet and you feel you have adequate protection. Such as using a pull
up vinyl covers over the diapers and disposable mattress pads. You could
still experience a leak because moving around at night may dislodge the
disposable mattress pads, and if this happens you may end up paying for
a new mattress.



With Friends or Family



With Friend or Family you may choose to protect your child from possible
embarrassment and being discreet about it, but accidents can still
happen and they (family and your friends) may be very upset that you
didn't inform them.



I had one report of parent that had fully prepared to provide adequate
protection for their child and they think no one would be the wiser. But
the child fell a sleep watching TV with his cousins and had an accident
on the couch. So I believe if you were invited to stay with family or
friend . You should out of consideration to them since they had invited
you that you inform them about the incontinent issue and that you will
bring adequate protection.



With summer camp



With summer camp it is necessary to inform them of your child
incontinence and what protection will be needed to keep them protected.
Summer Camp for kids like hotels deal with all the time, and you could
visit with them beforehand on how your child privacy and hygiene can be
met.



Summer Camps will welcome your child. They want you child have a good
time and want your child to come back. So indeed they are motivated to
making your child a happy camper and make sure their needs are met. .



Transportation



If you are traveling by car and have a child that is not Diurnal (Day
time wetting), and is affected by Nocturnal Enuresis (Bedwetting) you
may want them to wear protection.

(Please note if your are using disposable you should use a vinyl cover
over the disposable, because disposable can leak and also urine can weep
through the plastic covering the disposable)



Also you should put a disposable matters pad for them to sit on just in
case the protection leaked , because your child only has Nocturnal
Enuresis (Bedwetting) he or she may fall asleep they may have an
accident and dealing with urine smell in the car seat for the rest of
the trip will be no fun.



If you have been invited to travel in a friend or family car you should
out of consideration to them since they did invite you that you inform
of your family incontinence, and you could inform them that you have
taken adequate precautions.



If you are traveling by Plane there are issues of going through the
screeners and discovering your diapers. You may discreetly ask them do
be discreet what they find in the bag. They have seen this before and
this will not surprise to them, and they will be discreet. The
alternative is for you to mail or purchase your diapers at your
destination.



Supplies



Depending whether you are on a short trip or a long trip will determine
whether you should take all the supplies with you or ship it to the
hotel or Family\friend where you will be staying.



Take at least twice the supplies you need and extra change of clothes.
Traveling can be stressful and can lead to more accidents.



The following idioms for traveling:

1) Diapers (pull-ups);

2) Diapers wipes;

3) Powder;

4) Baby lotion;

5) Cream for diaper rash;

6) Disposable Mattress pads



Travel & Have a Good Time !!



Finally don't let being incontinent hamper you from traveling. My
best memories growing up was traveling with my family and it was a
wonderful experience. So again Don't let protection hamper your fun
in anyway. Just wear what you need too when you have to and ENJOY
YOURSELF !



Sincerely,

Steven F. Trimarco
