I know there are dodorants that have strong scents which to me don't really smell all that good and don't combine nicely with what they are trying to cover up. I presently use nothing and I feel like I should. But I don't know what to try. I feel like there must be something that has a mild scent that also obscures the odors associated with incontinence. I would hope that anyone where I work or other public places, unfortunate enough to detect something from me, would at least have the good feeling that I am attempting to be non offenisve. That is a big concern for me. My worst time is on my way to work and if I can get this better taken care of I think I will have found a pretty good way to deal with my problems and have this lack of control, under control. If people can recommend a deodorant or some kind of good scent (i know a lot depends on personal preference) that will help diminish the unpleasantness of urinary and fecal incontinence then I think I will be feeling a lot better at work. Hoping someone responds soon!

I use baby powder, not too much, and always wear a cover pant to contain any odors, but most important is that you stay hydrated, concentrated urine smells MUCH worse then if you are not dehydrated! I learned that early! I know, drink more, easy to say without leak issues, but it's true! Puffy

You might consider Nullo. It is an internal deodorant developed initially for hunters who wanted to minimize their human odor so as not to alert game. I take 1/2 tablet each meal. It is more effective for GI odors, although it also works, if less effectively, for urine. Odor control, for me, involves frequent washing plus Desitin and cornstarch powder. Good luck.

Incontinence aside, any good underarm deodorant will cut down your natural body order by a lot, and will go a long way to reducing any offensiveness.

I personally like old spice power sport, fresh scent. It lasts all day for me and has a light baby powder type of smell to it, which combines well with any baby powder I also use.

Do you stay very well hydrated? Fresh urine doesn't smell very strong, but concentrated urine when you're under hydrated does. While I don't have daytime issues that warrant a diaper, if I did I would try to change as often as I reasonably could. I know some people "wet wear" but I think that would likely add to odor issues. Probably depends on how big each accident is.

As for deodorant, I remember the brand "Ban" back in the day. My dad bought it for me as my very first deodorant when I was like 11. It was a "roll on" style and unscented. No idea if it's still a thing.

There's also the aerosol spray deodorants that could make targeting that whole area easier. Just find one with a mild scent. it really shouldn't be so strong as to get through a diaper and clothes.

Also, consider trimming your hair down there. I've always "manscaped", not shaved, but I'd imagine a pube-fro soaked in urine wouldn't smell very good.
