A member asked:
I have incontinence (have seen doctor for it). sometimes i have to go hours without someone changing my poopy diaper. how long is it ok to stay in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not long: A diaper with stool in it should be changed immediately. You should never wait for more that 30 minutes at most. If you have to wait hours, your caregiver is being negligent and you need a new caregiver.
