My name is Frank and I am 20. I have CP and am still in diapers although I am congitivly ok. I am in college and this problem is not makinig it any easier I walk with a walker as well. Does anyone have tips on how to deal with excessivie odor after a bowel movement in my diaper or how to dispose of them discreetly so my rooomates dont make fun of me ↑ Its hard enough having people star at me because of the way I walk. The Diaper situatio n is just two much for me to handle right now

Hi--that would be a lot to handle! Forgive me for using this reference, however for babies you can purchase diaper linings--and when the child poops into the lining, you can just "roll it up" and flush it down the toilet--easy peasy. I wonder if you searched out online if you could find a similar adult product.
Also, we only have 1 personal reference with CP & the kid isn't very badly off at all so forgive me for my lack of knowledge--I am however a woman--and women constantly have to be changing pads etc during "time of the month".
Would you be able to wear a reg. maxi pad instead of a diaper? Do you have control over your bowels at all?
You mention your roommates make fun of you--but why are they aware of what you do in the bathroom? Just curious. I know for many women--they shop around for a bag that works for them--that can help with "hiding" whatever they take to the bathroom.--or they keep their pads in the bathroom--are you able to put a personal box in the bathroom to do that with? If not, maybe look for a more compact diaper to use? Consider eating more fruit and veggies, meat does cause "stinkage" plus eating a lot of junk food & fast food as well. I'd also suggest sprinkling your diaper with cornstarch or baby powder each morning (unscented baby powder that is corn starched based)--the reason being that corn starch is a natural oder absorber. It's not perfect, but it would help--plus getting to the problem as soon as it happens--would also help.
I did a quick search online & found these: http://www.biorelief.com/odor-elimin

also a plain plastic shopping bag with a little bit of corn starch sprinkled in would also help--tie tight & then put in the regular garbage.
Also can you move? It sounds like you need a more private situation or at least different roommates--men make bad roommates--may want to consider girls? Just a thought.

i feel with u i suppose there are somethings in life that are out of our control. i may not be able to help u with your problem but allow me to tell u that u are very brave and smart and if yr roommates do not understand yr situation i think that the problem is them not u. my advise to u is accept yr condition and dont be bothered with people who look at life as if it there own you have someone more important looking down on u and can see what is happening dont allow those who make fun of you and stare at you affect you as these peopl dont know how beautiful life is they are only amused by the materialistic life not its inner beauty.

i am a mother of a 4 month old baby girl with special needs and hope to oneday give her the same advise.

dont worry about the smelly diapers if that is the only way for you to release nature, as it is no different than a smelly fart. and even people without disabilities tend to release them every now and then without meaning 2 as nature needs to take its place among us.

Purchase some baby lining to roll it up in and have something close by to dispose of it quickly. I hope that helps.
