If you dont mind some advice, I would question the wisdom of using pullups for fecal containment. They have less surface area and padding than a full fleged diaper. At the very least, I would opt for a premium pullup that has leak guards. I know that with some of my bowel episodes, I would never consider using pullups. Pullups gap at the legs for me, always have.
Have you considered using tape on diapers even occasionally? The day may very well come where you are very glad you did.
Rob, you are quite right about that. I've tried briefs before in the daytime but find that it is inconvenient for toilet use. My U-IC is such that I usually make it ok in the day time. But my F-IC occurs months apart, usually.
The TENA Ultimate (sometimes the Overnight) pull-up does have leak guards, though not very high. So far, they have been "good enough", though I would say barely. I now have rubber (latex) pants that I wear over them, when I do more than a quick shopping trip. That should make the accident safer, should it occur again.
I have now switched to psyllium husk
capsules, which I take in the morning. This works better for me than the whole psyllium husks. I am even starting to drink coffee again, which is a real blessing. Coffee is a careful experiment at this time, drinking it when I know I will be staying at home.
I appreciate your concern and your advice.
