After quite a lot of consideration, I thought I would add these tips.

If you have any form of IBD, (Irritable Bowel Disease):

1. wear, (and carry), extra protection panty liners or pads. (This would also work for gentlemen.)

2. Carry baby wipes in a ziplock bag.

3. Carry an extra set of undies in a zip lock bag. You put the soiled undie in the zip lock bag when you change.

4. You can always carry a change of outerwear and even an adult diaper if you are having a really hard time.

5. When I was able to work, I carried a complete jean or short outfit along with a pair of tennis shoes. If I had to change my dress or skirt, I just explained I was going somewhere after work and needed to change or that I had spilled something on my outfit.

6. Big purses, backpacks, totes and even briefcases are great to carry your necessities with you. Your things won't help you when a crisis happens if you try to hide them in the trunk of your car.

I hope this helps.
