The title caught my eye and I found these comments to be very nice to read as I am the author of the paper!
I am glad you found my paper interesting. I wanted to help other people find information that I had difficulty finding when I needed it most.
I have continued to expand the paper and am in the process of turning it into a book on the broader topic of managing bowel or bladder incontinence - to be published on Amazon Kindle. My co-author is a Physician's Assistant in neurology who also is double incontinent and wears 24/7. We looked at the available books on managing incontinence and found them to be superficial, with mostly feel-good advice and lacking the details an incontinent rally needs. Then we realized that none of the authors were themselves incontinent. We felt we could do better - and we have. In Amazon Kindle format we have written about 300 pages. What makes this book different is that we are violating some taboos in order to give the very specific (but not offensive) information that incontinents really need but have so much difficulty finding. Even some physicians have asked for a copy, saying "They don't teach us this in medical school."
In addition to the expected, we even address the following: do diapers expire?, diaper suspenders, dating in diapers, "stealth" diapering," enemas and anal plugs for fecal incontinence, incontinence and sex, diapering with the penis "up" or "down," diaper and menstruation, avoiding cloth diaper "funk," double diapering, should you apologize for a bowel accident?, super-absorbent diapers, diapers and depression, one-handed diapering, digital rectal stimulation, shaving your privates, diaper dependency and how to avoid it, Kegel exercises, changing in public, changing a messy diaper, cloth diaper techniques, adult training pants, the secrets to diaper absorbency ratings, and much more.
Although directed toward incontinents, there is much that would be of interest to the AB/DL community.
