I have to do something. Cr*pped myself 2x's yesterday. Couple times last week. Just really urgent, got to go. Humiliating when you don't make the bathroom at McDonalds.

So I don't think panty liners are going to be enough. Anybody have a preference? Depends? or some other brand?

Years ago as I was leading up to my Dx I swore I would not wear Depends. I'm almost there now. Is there anything stylish???
 
Am so sorry to hear you are going through this! I can totally relate! Been in the same situation too many times to count before my surgery (and a few since). Having it run down your leg at work is the worst (work in health care, not understanding environment). I found that depends silhouette worked good and was one of the most discreet. I hope this helps you. Dont despair I think we have all at one time or another had to use these products.
 
Wasn't sure of your gender but depends real fit is really the only "stylish" diaper for men. I think there are quite a few more options for the ladies.
 
Thanks for the leads. I'm a guy.

Think Jake from State Farm. What are you wearing "Jake" from State Farm. :rof:
 
scrapr, I'm a woman, so I carry a bag with my wallet and other stuff in it. I *always* carry extra underwear. It may be less embarrassing and more convenient for you to carry around a messenger-type bag (there are lots of stylish versions available) along with extra undies, wipes, etc. Then, because you're already carrying around a bag, you can put other stuff in it (food, reading material, phone, etc.). If anyone teases you about the bag, you can explain that you just like to carry it because it a) is less obvious than a BatBelt, b) prevents the pockets of your pants from getting destroyed and c) prevents your from your figure from looking lumpy from all the junk you used to keep in your pockets. :)
 
I have nothing to add here that a man could use... sorry.

I did contribute to a kick started campaign a while back for a new product its super neat. Its a pair of panties that folds up in to a pouch. Check it out! I cant wait to get mine. http://urbanundercover.com/

By the way "Crapisodes" has me laughing! That is my new term for it!

I use a brand called Depend

Works fine.

If you poo yourself whilst wearing Depend you will have about 20 - 40 minutes (depending on how much you have passed) before it starts soaking through.

I have gone 1 hour in the past though with no leakage; wearing a soiled Depend when I had an incident on the train and there was no toilet.

Have a look at my post called "Emergency Kit" for more help.

Hope this helps.
 
I use a brand called Depend.

The product is designed for bladder control mainly; but it works fine for poo.

You can wear tight clothes with it without it showing through. And it is comfortable enough to wear all day.

And if you have an incident you can remove it safely by tearing the sides - rather than taking all your clothes off.

The downside: it is a passion killer alright! :)

Hope this helps
