I used to travel for work to africa on a regular basis.
I would be in lets say not so nice accomidations most the time, and an airbnb would have been luxury. I'd often stay on the worksite on a blow up matress for the duration of the job, usually a week some time more/less.
I did have an assistant with for many things but they did help with disposal on many occasions, but many of my workers knew my IC issues so i wasnt really trying to hide anything, but my assistants did much more than that, and put in long days just about every day on-site doing logistics, documentation, scheduling of staff every day.
But, i shipped in all my supplies, including diapers, so i always had diapers available, only traveled with them on private transport where i might have 12+ people and maybe 6+ pallets of gear getting transported in, but that was less than 1/2 the time.
So, with the having diapers avaialbe being covered, pun intended.
Next was disposal, whic was not that big of a deal anyplace, I just put them in any rubbish bin or even burn barrel that was being used at the site as it was handled the same as any other garbage.
Now, on the hotel stays, places like Cape Town, Kagali, Kiev or alike they are all just usual business locations and have trash in the rooms and i'd use the trash cas as normal, and never got any questions. I think my assistant (Did 99% of my hotel booking) would notify them of my IC as i'd say 1/3 of the places in europe i'd be in a handicap room, and i'd say 75% of all the places would have a matress protector on the beds, now i think a lot of the places i did stay at not in big cities would have covers on the matresses as a usual thing, as been in many hotels with bedbugs and most likely worse creatures roaming around the hotel.
My suggestion is:
Let them know about the IC if you can.
Bring a matress pad/protector if you can.
Use the trash as normal, not going to be an issue.
Lastly is a warning for anyone traveling abroad, take all your luggage and leave it outside for as long as you can, and also immediatly wash everything in as hot water as possible. Other option is to drop your luggage off at a laundry for cleaning.
Last thing you need is any bedbugs or critters catching a ride on your suitcase or clothing and getting a ride in your house. I know some that have had this happen.
Oh, anytime in a hotel, bring your own sheets and blanket if you can, and some spray disinfectant...Unless you want to see things you dont want to, dont bring a black light.
Things like the comforter and blankets rarely get washed, and things like the phone and remotes are unable to be washed and are at best wiped off and usually not touched at all, save for light switches and such, you dont want to look at the bathroom lightswitches or appliances like hair dryers or plugins, they cant be washed and therefor are not washed.
Not to give you a reason to freak out, it's just the wat things are, and if by not using the comforter and blanket, wiping down some things, or even putting a clear ziplock over the remotes just might save your fun, as getting sick whilst traveling sucks. Also bring with and take Emergen-C or Airborne starting about a week before your trips, having some extra vitamins and such is usually a good thing (But check with your dr of course).
But, overall traveling is fun especially when its not work, and even when it is work, try to take some time to see things. I wish i did, was always going to go see chern, was in Kiev a bunch of times and always said, next trip, and well unlikely to be back there at this point in my live and seeing the exclusion zone or the city would be awesome...
