How do you prevent fecal contamination of the vagina and urethra on bedridden patient that has loose stools?

The patient is on tube feeding and must stay at about a 30 degree angle. When her bowels move the stools are loose and sometimes it gets up to the vagina and urethra. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this from happening?

Preventable, no, cleanable with a proper peri-wash, yes.

We use a heavy layer of barrier cream, I've never noticed any problems with feces actually being forced up into the vagina or urethra, it seems to be all external.
