I've been reminded that DW does not intend to drive me nuts, but nevertheless she's doing a thorough job of it. For a long time she's been putting things away in unlikely places, and now she's doing it with urine. She seems to have forgotten her potty training, and now will pee anywhere, especially in her pants or in bed. I'm trying to deal with it, looking for disposable underpants that will fit and not leak, and refining my methods of cleaning up afterwards. Our PCP has ruled out UTI.

These are the best I've found. We've been using them for roughly a month, and only had one leak. I was washing bedding 4 or 5 times a week, but no more. Another poster said they didn't fir her husband very well, so ordering a sample might be warranted.
