Diapers, anyone?

You're not the only one, a couple of weeks ago I went to the works Christmas party, alcohol and buffet food is not a great combination! And the next morning I was drinking a cup of coffee and suddenly and without any warning shat myself. Not a small one either! Luckily I was still at home (hope you were too!)
Oh, and when will I learn? It's half past 4 am here, and I'm awake and on here because I can't sleep, I had a few drinks and a buffet tonight for new years, and I woke up to be sick and now I'm waiting for the other end to blow.
Not while asleep, I don't usually get the runs but when I do I don't tend to sleep well.

Don't worry. My butt leaks, even when awake without me even realizing it. Sometimes also while sleeping.
Here's an idea!

Awh honey I'm sorry! I hate having accidents.
I am extremely stubborn by nature. I used to tell myself my disease wasn't going to change what I do. So I'd go trail running and **** myself in the park. It was so humiliating! It often happened when I was in sight of and bee-lining to the bathroom, but I just wouldn't make it.

Oh my. Hugs. I know how it feels, happened to me when I didn't know what was wrong. .
My Mom had had radiation to her genital area for vulvar cancer, and became partially incontinent. She refused to wear them, and came home crying several times. I decided then and there that if I ever needed them I would not hesitate. And I have worn them - to the grocery store, to church, the bank. Nobody knows but me.
I also keep some panti-liners around, and pads I can tape to my butt like I did after surgery years ago. You can do that and still wear a bathing suit!!
I don't really have the big D, but the little d does show up if I eat the wrong things, or for whatever reason... just liquid, and like you said, you don't even realize it til something feels wet (or stinks the place up).

I wear them day and and night I have mucus and this watery stuff that leaks at night just pisses me off during the day I wear them if I need to get out and about and they help with the clean up when your out they seem to catch everything into them and not let it run all over and down your legs I'm male and I swear by them they give me confidence to gout for a bit

Oh guys, I so feel for you. It makes me so grateful to have my stoma. It is so clean and I am in control. I don't know if I am one of the lucky ones but my output is small and my stoma absolutely no problem at all. I love the thought that I will never be in the position I was before, I can do anything, go anywhere and it is not noticable at all.
I don't wish this procedure on any of you but if the time comes, believe me, it is life enhancing xxx

Okay I am feeling strangly lucky right now. My tummy is always generous enough to make sure it has woken me up with a nasty tummache before letting lose, the next time this happens at 2am I am just going to be thankful that it gave me a chance to dash to the throne. It obviously still likes to play with me on occasion and has me think I am about to pass wind and then throws a little something extra in the mix but this is nothing compared to what you are dealing with :hug:

Yes, in many ways, you're very fortunate, although I guess it seems like a last resort to many people. I wouldn't hesitate if it solved my problem. Looking back, my Mom could have had this and would probably have been healthier and more active than she was after chemo and radiation.
@ChaoticKylee that's a great video! I didn't know they existed!

I can relate to the rude awakening!!! Luckily, I have not soiled the sheets and had to wake up the husband. I have used towels and these disposable diaper sheets if I think it is going to happen. I seriously considered a diaper when travelling over the holiday this year, but ended up going without and did just fine.
