Sounds like your wheelchair could fit you better. Not much underpad should be visible at all.

Can I ask what injury you sustained? Was it brain injury, spinal cord or both? Hope that's not a rude question.

That is very true. When facing both bladder/bowel, then options are very limited in dealing with it.
Now, how bad is your disability?
I take it it is just from the waist down?

Have you been to this forum? It is run by someone with a similar injury to yours and there's a lot more advice relating to spinal injuries there than on this specialist continence forum. Have a look.
