pad/diaper reviews?

I have decided to take advantage of my extended unemployment to travel around the world. Fourteen countries and five continents in 45 days, leaving next month. I am crazy excited.
I am doing really well, but plan to take and use gut protection, since I have never been to any of these countries before and don't know exactly what to expect. I think traveling alone will actually reduce my anxiety, and I will be super-cautious, but just in case...

Any advice about which products are best?

Have you worn Depends before? I find them really comfortable and pretty good at getting the job done... they've only 'failed' on me when huge amounts of liquid were involved. I prefer just wearing a Depends over using a pad with cloth underwear, maybe not so eco friendly but it's one less thing to worry about and less bulky, eh?

Stayfree Ultra Thin Overnight pads (with wings) are the way to go.

Black square plastic package with crescent moons on design.

Found in the feminine aisle.

These pads are very LONG and fan out wide in the very back of the pad, which is why I wear them - they are great for bm leakage or drips.

I read about these pads on an old colon cancer forum years ago. I am now long past the need for their purpose (57 now) but I am NEVER without these pads: in the bathroom, in my purse and a few are in my car's glove compartment.

They are simply - GREAT and reliable. Perform a google search, you'll see them come up.

Thanks for the replies! I will check these out. I am sticking to major cities in developed countries to be safe, but still might have a problem with strange foods or long rides, is my worry.

And, of course, now suddenly I am a final candidate for a really good job. If I get it, I might do shorter trip just to Europe and negotiate for time off later to go round the world.
