Midge, that's great you are still traveling. I'm sure you could find pads almost anywhere. It's a bummer they take up mega space in your suitcases, and that now the price of checked luggage has sky rocketed. At least they are not heavy. One time I took a couple boxes of enemas that took up my whole carry-on. I just have shedule trips between Entyvio Infusions now, and continue watching what I eat and drink.
On the trains in Canada, the washrooms were pretty large. There was no problem for me. But while traveling out of country, I shutter when there's no washrooms on busses!
Sounds like you are prepared for anything. Have a great problem -free vacation.

Hi I'm from the UK but not currently living there, yes we have incontinence pads, they should be in any drug store. Most railway stations and airports will have a Boots store where you can buy these things.
Train toilets..tips... hmmm.... I haven't been on a train in the UK in years but firstly the service is lousy; they are over crowded and always being cancelled or running late...apart from that, last time i lived there some of the train toilets had buttons for
opening/closing/locking the door, don't do what I did and press the button to
open the door when you meant to lock it, i was sitting on the toilet and had 5 people peering at me...

Good luck on your trip to UK, Midge. I think TENA incontinence products are sold there, if so they would be more reliable than Poise. I actually discussed the state of U.S. supplies with my gyn a few months back, as I notice they all seem to advertise their "sensitive-skin" lately, which in reality is just a thin, flimsy plastic prone to leakage. Being older now, I remember that the incontinence supplies available during my early yrs following UC DX were much more protective than those presently sold in U.S. chain drugstores! Besides, the gyns and uro-gyns say that they should not contain deodorant chemicals! / Old Hat (40+ yrs with left-sided UC; in remission taking Colazal)

I don’t know if we have the brand you mentioned but I have used Tena pads for incontinence before.
Train toilets is a really difficult one to answer specifically because it would depend on which ones you’re using (there are different train operators for different parts of the country) and I’m not familiar with all of them. Most trains have multiple toilets, particularly if it’s a longer journey.
