I've taken a few trips this year (all within the country) and on every one I have had diarrhea at least two or three days per trip. I came close to having several public accidents in my pants (as I was not diapered at the time) just making it to the bathroom in time. The diarrhea ranged from all watery (type 7 on the Bristol stool scale) to very soft mushy poop (6 on the Bristol stool scale) and often includes a watery portion with one that is very soft and mushy. When I get the need to go, I usually have a few minutes at most of straining to hold it back before it is coming out. It also usually comes in a few waves where I will have the initial I have to go right now and it will be in my pants if I'm not on the toilet. If I have the time to stay on the toilet and empty my bowels, it can take 5 - 10 minutes before I feel ok leaving the toilet as I usually can't stay as long as I would really like to. Then anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple hours later I will have another wave or two where I need to get to the bathroom. I don't generally experience the same diarrhea frequency at home as I do on travel. The travel diarrhea may be result from a combination of eating out more, generally eating a larger breakfast, eating at different times and/or a change to my daily routine and sleep schedule.
I am looking for advice on the best diaper for containment. I know one of these times I won't be close to a bathroom and I want to find a good diaper before I have an accident. I only plan to use the diaper if I truly can't hold it or there is no bathroom available. I have seen a few other older posts but I wanted advice on the best diaper given the criteria below (in priority order).
1. Containment. I need a diaper that can hold the diarrhea or mess. If it is watery, I estimate it is in the 1 - 2 cup range for the initial wave. The mushy poop is also in the 1 - 2 cup range for the initial wave. Hopefully I would be able to change or get to a bathroom before the second wave but that can be another 1-2 cups of mushy poop depending on how large the first wave was. In total I would say the volume is two to three times my average poop depending on if the second wave hits but not the complete 1 - 2 liter emptying of the bowel some people experience. As far as urine, I would like it to hold at least 1 full wetting (20+oz) maybe 2 because I will also wear it around and wet it but I don't need a super high urine capacity.
2. Removable. I need a diaper that I can remove and still use the toilet. I plan to wear this diaper while flying and traveling around. If I can make it to a toilet for a regular mess or diarrhea, I will as I know changing a messy diaper in public is difficult and I don't want others to have to smell my mess unless I really couldn't hold it. If there is a pull-up that would work that is great but I know most pull-ups don't work well for fecal containment. I don't have a strong preference for cloth backed vs plastic backed as long as the tapes can be taken off and refastened.
3. Discrete. I will be wearing this diaper while out in public, while traveling and possibly to work if the travel is in conjunction with a work trip. I don't need a diaper with AB prints and a plane "medical" diaper may be preferred incase someone sees it. I am primarily interested in fecal containment and am willing to sacrifice discretion for functionality. As long as it can hold 1 - 2 large wettings I don't need an extra bulky diaper I can wear and pee in all day.
4. Cost. Cost is not a major factor as I would look at buying a case and having it on hand. I would like to stay in the $1 to $1.50 per diaper for a case if possible. I live in the US and have my own place so ordering online is not a problem.
If you have suggestions for plastic pants you wear over your diaper to help contain accidents or leaks, I'll take those as well. I currently have a pair of PUL plastic pants and like those as they are more breathable.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
