Article: These days, it is easy to find a pair of reusable adult diapers that resemble your regular underwear. The underwear are so discrete that your roommates will be unable to detect them and won't learn of your issue with incontinence.  Do your research before making the purchase. While manufacturers may rate their pull-on underwear as fully absorbent, there are many reviewers who would disagree.  Things to consider are the fit, absorbency and style. You may want to purchase a few different pairs prior to leaving so that you can determine what works and what doesn’t ahead of time. If you don’t like the idea of relying solely on underwear to keep you protected, consider purchasing incontinence pads or boosters. Boosters aren't typically used on their own; however, they can be used with a disposable brief or pull-up for maximum absorbency.  There are boosters available that make it possible for you to get through the day without changing them. If you have a long day of classes or are tailgating at a football game, it may be worth looking into this option! If your incontinence issues are only minor, pads may be your best bet, as they can be worn with different types of underwear including regular (snug fitting) or specialty made underwear. It’s a good idea to have extra sets of sheets on hand for any bedwetting incidents. You’ll want to be able to change your sheets as many times as necessary without having to run down to the laundry room each time. Additionally, there are other great products available, which are waterproof and can protect your mattress.  Today you won't have a difficult time finding waterproof products, which keep both you and your mattress dry. The goal is to reduce damage and excessive laundry.  A waterproof mattress pad should be on your must buy list. With the ability to hold up to 6 cups of fluid, pads provide absorbency as well as moisture protection.  You may want to consider vinyl mattress covers, as they lock out moisture and serve as an inexpensive way to add years of life to your mattress. For underwear and pads alike, sealable plastic bags will come in handy if you’d rather wait to dispose of them in a more private setting. Plastic bags can easily be stored in your bookbag. When you’re in a public restroom, simply place your wet belongings in the bag and back into your bookbag. No one will be the wiser! An environmentally friendly option is a reusable, sealable waterproof bag. You can place the wet products into the bag, dispose of them later and then throw the bag in with your laundry. Things such as plastic gloves and stain and odor removers will come in handy in a dorm setting. There’s no need to clean in front of your roommate either. Wait until they leave for class to do your cleaning, if you feel more comfortable doing so.  You can always explain to your roommate that you’re a neat freak and like things to be clean. Open the windows after using cleaning products. You wouldn’t want the room to smell overwhelming upon your roommates return. If you're still concerned about your peers noticing the pad, diapers or underwear you're wearing, choose clothing that doesn't cling. In other words, wearing skinny jeans may not be the best choice for you. However, men can wear looser fitting jeans and go with an untucked shirt, while women can opt for long skirts or tunic shirts. If you're heading to the beach with your friends, women can accessorize with a full or partial cover up, while men can sport board shorts.

What is a summary?
Determine the best underwear for you. Consider incontinence pads or boosters. Purchase bedding supplies. Remember sealable plastic bags. Don’t forget the cleaning supplies. Choose the right clothes.
