Pad Recommendations after a Defunctionary Loop Ileostamy

[sclerodermauk]

Hi,

We have received an enquiry from a lady who is due to have an operation on her bowel shortly and has tried several incontinence pads but so far all have been really big and uncomfortable. Would be great to hear any recommendations of comfortable pads or anything else that can be used.

Thanks

Would something like adult diapers work for awhile? In the States there is a brand named Depends. I have patients who use them and carry a couple extras folded up in a bag in case they need to change when away from home.
