Joy,

Like I have said, I have nothing against different bathrooming methods if
the need and comfort is a factor.  However I would suggest to clean out
whatever you're using often because I have been at conferences where I have
smelled people's cathrators, which is a turn off for some people unlike
myself, who understand.  Yes, I realize that cleaning them is sometimes hard
but try.

Thanks,
Anthony

  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
  think about finding a bathroom can sometimes interfere with my day and
what
  I'm doing.  Like everything else, there are advantages and disadvantages,
  but don't necessarily write it off.
