I use a Super Long sanitary napkin. It works very well for me. Good luck!

That's not the type of solution I have in mind. Looking for normal looking briefs or boxer briefs. They sell a lot of them per the link above, I'm just wondering if anyone has found a brand that provides absorption panels that extend over the whole bottom and not just the front.

The top pair looks like they could be worn backwards. It doesn't look like they have a fly is why this might work, but they are shorter than the bottom pair.

haha, trust me, I've considered this, as I've bought some but it doesn't work because it doesn't go underneath, just somewhat perpendicular.

Gee, depending on how much leakage you are dealing with, I think you are probably better off wearing the underwear you like. Then, use something like B-Sure Pads to catch any leakage. You don't need a device to retain them. Basically your butt cheeks hold it in place. Plus, they are flushable and do not alter your clothing "profile."

Otherwise, incontinent briefs are really the only thing that will work.

Thanks Jan. This is indeed a solution that would help and I wasn't aware of it. To this point, I thought that the only thing out there was depends-style / guards (which were designed for urinary incontinence in mind (not bowel). I am just dealing with very small amounts, usually clear*, so this should work fine. I hope it doesn't slip out though with say athletic shorts on. With guards, even with the tape, I've noticed it can find a way out somehow where there isn't firm support all around (line jeans).

*on that note, any advice related to light (usually clearish) incontinence? It's odd because of course there is more sometimes when I need to go, but when I don't, it's just a small discharge. What is it? Is it general body acids just falling out? I know partially related to hemorrhoid perhaps, but not as much as I see sometimes.. it's definitely generating internally. Just wondering if anyone has come up with solutions on your own or with your doctor to remedy this. it's not related to trouble "holding" but rather just a slow, clear leaking.

THanks!

This is indeed a puzzle. Any anal leakage from the pouch I would expect to be fecal matter. I cannot fathom it to be anorectal without it being fecal, unless there is something else going on.

Truly clear secretions would most likely be sweat or something not from your pouch. Have you been checked for draining cysts, abscess, fissure, or hemorrhoids? Do you have any pain, itching or other symptoms?

Bottom line, this is NOT normal!

Well, it probably is generally fecal matter but it's slight enough to not be seen as brown I guess I should say. I do have a fistula so that causes some clear. but definitely the main problem is preventing some matter from leaking out, especially when I've been sitting for a while. Anyone have any recommendations? It definitely is worse when I feel like I haven't been relieved so obviously going as much as I can helps, but the problem is I cant always go when I need to.

but for light incontinence, any non-surgical tricks? I mean, I can hold it when it's ready to come out, but this is just little leakage that I don't feel happening.

Cotton ball will help. Don't deeply insert, just snug against the opening. I was surprised that it wasn't very noticeable, worth a try with your minor incontinence.
