Overactive bladder

The male side of the family has an overactive and not too big bladder, even if it seems to improve a bit when getting out of the teens. My dad and uncle had/have. I have, my younger brother has and also two cousins have. So I still some times wet the bed, even if it is now more seldom than some years ago. My younger brother still does it a few times a week.

Yeah, some of us have just always had an overactive bladder. I did as a little kid and now that I’m in my 30s it’s still an issue. Oh well. I’ve learned to live with it over the years and no longer consider it to be much of a problem anymore :P

@SW-User hopefully the overactive bladder isn't a too big issue for you any longer. I also feel I am better to cope with it now than some years ago. For my younger brother it is a bigger problem, and I can easily remember myself having the same problems when his age. Luckily we have very supporting parents, so any accidents are handled very nicely.

@Tintin18 Yes, that is important. My parents have always been supportive. Even at this age when I visit them they have no issue with my wetting and they keep pull-ups for me at their house for me to use. Although I don’t necessarily wet like I used to, I still have small accidents during the day, or, like you, larger ones after drinking. So I still prefer to wear an absorbent pad during the day (at least) and a pull-up at night (and well, since I share the bed with my wife, she will insist on the pull-up). Lol.
