My DH has been urine incontinent for a few months now. Lately he has bowel incontinence as well once in a while. His new "thing" is peeing on the floor around the house. His favorite spot is opening the deck door and peeing out the door and inside the door. The bedroom is another favorite spot, both sides of the bed.........and of course he never completely hits the toilet. He has also messed in bedroom and bathrrom floors. My first thought was UTI, nope had that tested.......I've tried talking to him about it, he just says wasn't me. Or he just shrugs and says Oh well............and shrugs it off. I've gotten mad, tried just ignoring it, going with him every time he heads for the bathroom, the other day he just plain stood in the bathroom and looked at me and peed right on the floor???? He will wear his depends ok, just pulls down the front and does his business...........any ideas other than a large hefty bag over the lower part???

This comes up fairly often as an issue.
The answer is onesie- one piece back-zip garments and sleepers.

HB has a good suggestion, unless you want to follow his every step. I caught my wife pulling down her pants, and sitting on the couch. I'd tell her she had to go in the bathroom because she can't pee on the couch. She'd ask "Why not?". They simply can't see anything wrong with what they're doing.0
