C diff vagina/urine: Not usually, though theoretically sitting in stool for long periods could. Even without adult diapers microscopic fecal material remains in the perineal area. Would change the diapers frequently/ right after soiling and bath daily to avoid build up. use proper hygiene w/ hand washing washing surfaces to avoid spreading the spores. https://www.cdc.gov/hai/organisms/cdiff/cdiff-patient.html
