I wasn’t able to have a reversible. As far returning to a normal life, that’s possible with some lifestyle adjustments. I have found that if I eat out I will need to empty my pouch relatively soon. I carry a collapsible Platypus bottle in my fanny pack for that purpose.
On rare occasions I have had a leak so I carry a pouch etc in the fanny pack as well.
The Boy Scout motto “Be prepared” is the key.
