Disposable Women’s Underwear (Incontinence) for diarrhea symptoms

[u/Resident-Farmer-5149]

Hey all 👋🏽 my mom (73F) just started Folfirinox last week and the diarrhea hit pretty hard. She isn’t able to make it from her bed to the bathroom on time, and has had a few accidents.. luckily I was able to convince her to finally try on some disposable underwear to make clean up easier, since she has refused to wear them up until now (over a year into her diagnosis/treatment, before it was only urine leaks/accidents). Looking for something comfortable for her to wear during the day and at night and maybe won’t make her feel like she’s wearing a diaper. It’s more of the mental thing for her.. any recommendations from anyone would be so appreciated 🙏🏽

I have two relatives who use Tena ProSkin disposable underwear. Both strongly prefer the ProSkin line to anything else on the market, including Tena products that aren't ProSkin.

I saw that on another thread - thank you 🙏🏽

Can you switch her to a different drug? Folfirinox is not for everyone. Have you looked at clinical trials for her? Have she and her tumor been generically characterized?

Yes, she’s done chemo and immunotherapy and radiation. She has neuroendocrine carsinoma, so Folfirinox is clinical trial technically for that cancer 😢

If you can, consider replacing the toilet seat with a bidet. Many price points available and it makes staying clean much easier.
