I never thought that other adults have this problem. untill looking at the lnternet I thought that I was alone. I have had this problem for as long as I can recall. I am now useing a external catherter and it helps keep the sheets from haveing to be washed. I also have a mattress protector just in case. I am not the only person with this problem. But I am the only one I know. Just thought you like to know you are not the only one.
