Dad has developed “urge” fecal incontinence. It happens infrequently but it is so upsetting to him when it happens. I am familiar with Depends for women for bladder incontinence but not for this issue. Anyone have experience with this issue and can recommend a good product? He is 94 and cares for his own personal hygiene. Thanks.

if Dad has trouble making the trip to the bathroom, can you place a commode chair close by? You could purchase a screen for him for privacy or put the chair in a room closer than the bathroom. To the best of my knowledge, adult briefs are double duty and there are no products specifically for fecal incontinence.

Depends or other "Pull up" brief should work for fecal incontinence as well.
If he is mobile and can dress and undress himself the pull up type should work well. If he can not easily remove clothing himself then a Tab Type (diaper, but I hate that term) might be easier for someone that has to change him. With the Tab type you do not have to remove shoes and pants to change.
Since he is able to care for himself at this time the Pull up type should work well.
