I use absorbent underwear when I'm going to be away from my "comfort zone"
(where I know there are bathrooms I can use or people to help me).  I do
have full sensation and can control my bladder, it's just that needing to

I'm doing.  Like everything else, there are advantages and disadvantages,
but don't necessarily write it off.
