Bowel Incontinence
Managing bowel incontinence requires specialized products, professional guidance, and above all—complete discretion and respect for your dignity. At Wrightway Medical, we understand that fecal incontinence is perhaps the most privately managed health challenge, affecting daily life, emotional well-being, and social confidence in profound ways. For over 30 years, we’ve provided compassionate, judgment-free support to individuals throughout Florida navigating bowel incontinence with the specialized products and expert guidance this condition demands.
Bowel Incontinence: Privacy-First Protection for Life’s Most Personal Challenge
Bowel incontinence—whether occasional leakage, inability to control gas, or complete loss of bowel control—affects far more people than most realize. It occurs due to childbirth injuries, neurological conditions, muscle or nerve damage, chronic diarrhea, surgical complications, aging, and various medical conditions. Regardless of cause, bowel incontinence is manageable with appropriate products that provide the protection, odor control, and discretion essential for maintaining quality of life and social participation.
We believe no one should live in fear of accidents or withdraw from activities due to bowel incontinence. The right products—specifically designed for fecal containment rather than just urinary protection—allow you to work, travel, socialize, and sleep with confidence. Proper bowel incontinence management also protects your skin from breakdown, prevents infections, and preserves the dignity every person deserves regardless of health challenges.
Our experienced team provides private consultations focused on your specific needs: the type and frequency of incontinence you experience, your activity level and lifestyle, skin sensitivity concerns, and whether you’re managing bowel incontinence alone or with caregiver support. We match you with products proven effective for fecal containment, establish discreet delivery schedules, and remain available for ongoing support as your needs evolve.

Let's discuss how we can support Bowel Incontinence
How We Support Bowel Incontinence Management
Adult Briefs for Fecal Containment
Bowel incontinence requires products specifically engineered for fecal matter—different from urinary incontinence products in critical ways. Our specialized adult briefs feature reinforced containment barriers that prevent solid and semi-solid matter from leaking, enhanced odor-control technology specifically designed for fecal odors, larger absorbent capacity for managing both bowel and bladder incontinence simultaneously, and dual barrier leg gathers that provide superior protection against fecal leakage. These products come in various sizes from pediatric through bariatric, ensuring proper fit that’s essential for effective containment.
High-Absorbency Protective Underwear
For individuals with less severe bowel incontinence or those experiencing primarily liquid stool, protective underwear offers dignity-preserving protection with clothing-like appearance. These products provide substantial absorbency for liquid fecal matter, built-in odor neutralizers, tear-away sides for easy removal when soiled, and discreet profiles that fit under regular clothing. They’re particularly valuable for people maintaining active lifestyles who need reliable protection without obvious bulk.
Overnight & Extended-Wear Protection
Sleep quality suffers tremendously when bowel incontinence occurs overnight. Our maximum-absorbency overnight products feature extra-large absorbent cores designed for extended wear without changes, superior leak guards and containment barriers, advanced odor control for bedroom discretion, and skin-protecting moisture barriers for prolonged contact. Proper overnight protection means better rest, reduced laundry burden, and maintained skin integrity.
Pediatric Bowel Incontinence Solutions
Children and adolescents with bowel incontinence due to spina bifida, cerebral palsy, or other conditions require age-appropriate products that fit their smaller bodies while providing adult-level protection. We provide pediatric-specific sizing, designs that work under school clothing discreetly, products appropriate for various activity levels including sports participation, and sensitive guidance for families managing childhood bowel incontinence challenges.
Bariatric Bowel Incontinence Products
Larger individuals require properly sized products for effective containment and comfort. Our bariatric product range includes extended sizing in briefs and protective underwear, reinforced construction for durability, adequate coverage for larger body types, and proper leg opening sizes that prevent gaps while avoiding uncomfortable tightness.
Underpads for Multi-Layer Protection
Even with excellent primary protection, underpads provide crucial backup during sleep or extended sitting. These waterproof-backed pads absorb breakthrough leakage, protect mattresses and furniture from damage, provide psychological security that supports better sleep, and simplify cleanup when accidents occur. We offer disposable options for convenience and reusable alternatives for environmental and cost considerations.
Barrier Creams & Skin Protection
Fecal matter is highly irritating to skin, causing breakdown faster than urine. Our barrier creams create protective layers between skin and moisture, prevent painful rashes and skin damage, support healing if irritation has occurred, and work specifically with the pH and enzyme content of fecal matter. Proper skin protection is essential—not optional—when managing bowel incontinence.
Cleansing Products for Thorough Hygiene
Maintaining hygiene after bowel incontinence episodes requires effective cleansing without harsh chemicals that damage already-sensitive skin. We provide pre-moistened cleansing wipes with appropriate pH balance, disposable washcloths for thorough cleansing, perineal cleansers specifically formulated for fecal contamination, and no-rinse cleansing foams for situations where traditional washing isn’t possible. Thorough cleansing prevents infections, controls odors, and maintains skin health.
Odor Elimination Systems
Discretion with bowel incontinence heavily depends on effective odor control. Beyond products’ built-in odor neutralizers, we provide supplementary odor eliminators for rooms and living spaces, specialized disposal bags that seal odors during product disposal, deodorizing sprays safe for use on skin and surfaces, and air purification recommendations for home environments. Comprehensive odor management supports confidence and social participation.
Disposable Gloves & Hygiene Supplies
Whether managing your own bowel incontinence or assisting someone else, proper hygiene protocols require disposable gloves. We provide medical-grade gloves in all sizes, hand sanitizers for additional protection, and disposal solutions that maintain sanitary conditions. Proper hygiene practices prevent infections and cross-contamination.
Rectal Catheters & Drainage Systems
For certain medical situations or severe incontinence, rectal catheter systems provide contained drainage. We supply appropriate catheter sizes, drainage bags and collection systems, skin barriers for catheter sites, and all supporting supplies for physician-prescribed rectal drainage management.
Bowel Irrigation & Management Supplies
Some individuals manage bowel incontinence through scheduled irrigation routines. We provide irrigation kits, appropriate cleansing solutions, positioning aids for irrigation procedures, and supplies that support effective bowel management programs designed by healthcare providers.

FAQs Bowel Incontinence
What products work best for bowel incontinence versus urinary incontinence?
Bowel incontinence requires products with higher absorbency and better odor control than typical urinary products. Adult briefs with maximum absorbency, reinforced leak guards, and advanced odor-neutralizing technology work best. We also recommend barrier creams to protect skin from more caustic waste, and specialized cleansing products designed for thorough hygiene during changes.
How do I maintain dignity while managing bowel incontinence?
Proper products and supplies make all the difference. We provide discreet delivery in plain packaging, high-quality briefs that contain odors effectively, disposal bags that seal completely, and gentle cleansing products for thorough hygiene. Having the right supplies on hand means you can handle episodes quickly and privately, maintaining your dignity and confidence.
Is bowel incontinence covered by insurance?
Yes—Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance typically cover bowel incontinence supplies when medically necessary and prescribed by your physician. This includes absorbent briefs, cleansing supplies, barrier creams, and underpads. We handle all authorization requirements and billing, ensuring you receive covered supplies without dealing with insurance complexity yourself.
How often should I change products with bowel incontinence?
Change immediately after bowel episodes to prevent skin breakdown—stool is more damaging to skin than urine. Even with modern super-absorbent products, prolonged contact with waste causes serious skin problems. Having adequate supplies delivered regularly ensures you can change as often as needed without worrying about running out.
Can you help if I'm also managing urinary incontinence?
Absolutely. Many people experience both urinary and bowel incontinence (called double incontinence). We provide products designed to handle both simultaneously, plus complete skin care systems addressing the heightened breakdown risk from dual exposure. We create customized supply packages ensuring you have everything needed for comprehensive, dignified management of both conditions.
