Going Georgian - no more knickers for me
I'm struggling to stand for long enough to pull down my knickers when I want a wee. And REALLY struggling to pull my knickers up again afterwards. Yesterday I was was out with a (very) good friend. I couldn't get my knickers down far enough when I went to the loo and they ended up wet, although my skirt was dry. My friend helped me out of the knickers. Because we were in a hurry, I didn't bother to put on my spare pair.
What a revelation! It's so much easier to just lift your skirt, sit on the loo and wee, without the hassle of knickers. It's brill - why did I never think of this before?
The only other thing to say about this is, I feel I'm breaking a huge taboo. I would never tell any of my friends, even the one who helped me out of the damp knickers. That's why I'm posting on here that the Georgians had it right - knickers aren't needed.
In Victorian times and before all ladies underwear was two legs, worn separately, so our predecessors didn't have the problem, we invented the 'crutch' in the early part if the 20 th century, so you're only going back to what is was before we became 'civilised' carry on being uncivil🥊🤙😍
Bladder issues are a tough part of MS. Coping strategies are needed. Mobility only adds to the problem. I limit fluid intake and hit the toilet at first hint. Have things to piss in in car when traveling. These are the ms difficulties that aren’t talked about much due to patient embarrassment. My urologist tested my bladder function and found that my bladder was half full after emptying ( I thought. No wonder I get urge to go quickly. MS is the pits.
