My first day home and travel

Hello, Aphe1890. 

Congratulations on takedown and only needing one night in hospital! I used to have accidents during sleep, but it got better after two months or so, and it was not every night, only when I slept deeply or had a big dinner. By my second month or so, no more accidents. Always slept on a baby mattress pad or several white towels (easy to bleach). I suppose for hotel rooms you could pack small, disposable mattress liners like the liners hospitals use. Any drugstore will have them.

In my early days after takedown whenever I left the house I always packed plenty of moistened paper towels in a zip lock Baggie. For me, paper towels (with their textured surface) worked better than baby wipes, which I found too smooth, small, and expensive. Toilet paper in public stalls don't do a complete job and you could end up with bad bum burn, a whole new agony, especially travelling. I also packed my plastic travel bidet to clean with. If I forgot the bottle or paper towels, I would be suffering by the time I got home from rough toilet paper alone. One tip about the plastic bidet bottle, especially if you get one with an air lock button on the bottom, you can't fill it with water and pop it into your backpack or purse because the air lock button will leak a bit of water. Fill it when you get into the restroom, or carry a small bottle of water to carefully fill after you sit down. You'll become expert at juggling supplies in tiny stalls where there is rarely a flat surface! Good luck and happy travelling!!
