Shields are good for air travel

An 'ATTENDS' shield will give you great peace of mind when you are 'up there.'

Wearing a shield also lowers your stress when the crew announces the plane is coming in to land and all services are closed down until after landing. 

It just seems your brain says to you, "Oh by the way, I feel like going to the toilet about now."  It seems to take ions for the plane to get down, taxi to the terminal and everyone gets off so you can race to the first toilet available. 

I have found that by tucking a shield in my undies the thought doesn't arrive and on the odd occasion when it does, I just say to myself, "Hold on mate." And the thought fades away.  I would not be game to let it all flow - that may be pretty risky when there's really no need.

Travelling checklist

The Australian Continence Society has put together this excellent travel checklist.  It's worth taking note of well before you depart on a trip. We thank them for compiling this very useful information.

Travel can be one of the joys of life - and sometimes a necessity - but if you are coping with a bladder control problem or soiling, it can be an anxious time. Planning ahead will help prevent embarrassment and hassles and make your trip so much more enjoyable. Here's the checklist ....>

Things to pack when you travel

I've heard people talk about what you need to take when travelling overseas, but very often they preface their comments with, "Of course it depends on where you will be travelling."  Then they rattle off cautions for India, China and many other Asian countries.

Well I can tell you I have travelled in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and some Pacific islands, I've eaten an amazing variety of foods, but I have never had a dysentery attack like the one I experienced recently at Surfers Paradise, Queensland.

Who knows where it came from, the doctor had no idea. All I can tell you is I even passed liquid motions in my sleep. That was a first for me and I hope never again.  Now, what has this to do with dryfella?  Guess what?  I had to buy some pull ups from the nearby pharmacy and they were fantastic.  ..... >
