My bowel control is normally quite good, but I’ve had a few accidents while out and about. Usually, this is down to functional incontinence, where I can’t access a toilet in time, or there isn’t one that’s wheelchair accessible. That being said, my nervous system isn’t great at sending the right signals so it can happen without warning.
These days, if it happens, I’m prepared and I can clean myself up without a fuss, but there was one time when I was on a long-distance train from Cardiff to London, with no accessible toilet (before they introduced the newer trains) and I had to sit in my own mess for most of the way there. That was hard, especially as I was by myself.
All I can say is that I’m glad I wore a thick nappy that day. And this is why I pad up for days when I’m traveling long distances.
