need to buy depends or whatever is out there for hubby with fecal incontinence. He has accidents during the night. Thank god so far not in the bed but he can’t seem to get to toilet on time and it happens on his way to bathroom. There goes another pair of underwear. I’m hoping there’s something that’s close to looking like underpants and disposable of course. He won’t like this but this must be done. Looking for suggestions what to buy. Thanks

    When that started happening I just put on a depend and he never noticed he was not wearing his usual briefs. I would just try the switch with no explanation.

    For DH, Depends were ok for the day but didn’t work well at night. Switched to LivDry Ultimate. Much more expensive but gets the job done.

    My DH needs protection - the only product I found that served both urinary and bowel protections for men was from Northshore. We buy the black briefs, they are expensive but he said they are very comfortable and the black color makes them look more like briefs. They have them in lite and heavy duty wear. We have been using them for about 6 months and very happy. Hope this helps and good luck.

    A website I’ve seen recommended on this forum is www.parentgiving.com for adult protection. They say that the customer service people are very helpful and you can buy samples to try.
