Best way to conceal Incontinence Products at work?

I do have a tooth brush etc that I could take along with a wallet of pads. I would have never thought to put a pad in a wallet! 🙂 Thanks Surf!
The people I work with notice everything and since I've worked here a while my lore/backstory is extensive and like you said mostly fiction. We have a new hire and they other day they told me that they had heard etc..... about me and I said "Whatever you want to believe about me, you can"
How is Mr. Surf doing?

@jayhall Yeah, take out that old, unused condom from your wallet and replace it with a wee-wee pad…
A TRUE sign that we are definitely NOT the men we used to be!🤣
Not to make things worse, your co-workers probably think you have a drug problem and your stash is in your bag; next time, sniffle a few times and let your eyes bug out when you return to your desk…that should get tongues wagging!
But seriously, I wouldn’t be too concerned; when I returned to work I put a bunch of heavy day and lite day pads in the top drawer of the desk I shared with my business partner; he took one look, gave me a knowing nod and never mentioned it again.
And should we talk about all the women who need to use the restroom during those special times of the month? It’s totally accepted, no one bats an eye and life goes on.

You see - just impossible to avoid comments *eyeroll . I dealt with looks and comments my whole life due to jealousy and envy, I could write a book about all of that. I tried to be nice, tried to "explain", tried to pretend I do not see it and I will lie to you if I said I never cried over it in my younger years - now I give a loooong look back and smile. If anybody makes a comment I confirm it - "Oh yes, I just do that and that - I do not understand people that don't, yuck" , or "Oh I do not care about what is presently "in", I HATE uniformity, it is so blahhhh and non creative "!
You can say: "I always have toiletries with me, I have high respect for hygiene, I do not get people who don't, lol . Do you want some "WetOnes" - amazing invention ! There should be dispenser of them in every restroom like there is in Japan and other cultured places". Only that way they stop - yes, they will think that you are stuck up and pretentious but that is much more acceptable and even valued here lol ; ). Being nice, polite or god forbid shy is the end of a person's peace !
Thanks so much for asking about Mr. Surf 💗 : ))) - he is doing well, luckily no side effects so far from Orgovyx or Nubeqa , (thanks God and all angels 🙏) and I hope it will stay that way. He is exercising every day at home and he likes it. We are still debating of having another PSMA scan or just go with RT without another scan since we can not get definitive directions form our medical team of what is the best thing to do. So, the RT will start either end of July or end of August depending of that decision. Luckily since Mr. Surf is on 2 ADT meds he can wait with RT for extra 3-4 weeks with no effect on treatment plan because he will be on ADT for at least 18 mos. Otherwise he is in good spirits and that helps me stay "above the water" ; ) too.
