Wearing a diaper for colonoscopy prep?

I have go in for my 1st colonoscopy next week and I know the prep can be pretty rough -- would be appropriate to wear diapers to and from the procedure? I'm legit worried about having an accident.

Funny you should ask next month I have to get one done , and I am planning on counting how many diapers get changed. My last one was enormous undertaking . Wearing diaper to/from procedure isn’t unreasonable .

Please read my recent post at https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;topic=126024;mark=Colonoscopy. It will give you some answers. I wore incontinence briefs that I normally wear daily to the hospital. You would not be the first to show up in your hospital in a diaper I'm willing to bet.

Maybe a diaper would be too much, but surely absorbent panties could help both in going to the hospital and in returning home. If you feel more confident this way, do it, for sure the health personnel won't have any problems

At age 77, I had my 4th colonoscopy last November and the Prep for it was totally different than the previous ones. It started 3 days before the procedure and involved consuming no solid foods while taking various liquid laxatives like Miralax and finally 4 bottles of Magnesium Citrate on the day before the procedure. It really was “too much” and most uncomfortable and inconvenient. My poor hiney hole was nearly ripped apart and very raw from all this! On the morning of the procedure, I was still uncontrollably emitting some minor drainage. Fortunately, my wife had some adult Depends available from a procedure she had previously done, so I wore those to the clinic. The nurse who got me prepped was IN NO WAY surprised seeing this.

I had my last colonoscopy last year, I wore a guard in my briefs because of my stress incontinence. Was told to strip and don a gown, so no one saw my underwear. I probably leaked on the table during the procedure but never knew because I was out cold for the whole thing.

During the prep day the day before, I usually wear one, just to be on the safe side. Though I try to remain close to a bathroom the day before, sometimes it wants to come out fast & furious.

I've had enough colonoscopies by now that on the day of it, I am fully cleaned out; hence, no need for a diaper.

So update on this -- I did wear a diaper in the car on the way to the appointment in case an accident happened (we had to drop my other roommate off at work 1st so we were in the car for like an hour total), but thankfully I was fine, and the procedure went fine too, everything looked pretty good. I ended up just using the restroom right before getting undressed and tossing it in the trash in there, heh.
