Is There A Diaper That Is Specially Made To Hold Fecal Matter Inside?
I have an 85 year old neighbor who has suffered from fecal leakage since having cancer 20 years ago. I have been helping her recently and discovered that the diapers she wears do not prevent leakage. Without warning she has accidents that require cleaning the chair and carpet and sometimes the bed numerous times a day. Then the body must be washed as well as all her clothing washed. She is so embarrassed. She takes a shot every month or so that helps but I feel so sorry for her. Is there a diaper that is specially made to hold fecal matter inside until she can get to the bathroom?
