More experimentation: fecal collectors

Well, a while back I wrote about giving a foley catheter a try.

If I may ask, why are you collecting fecal matter (aka. poop)?

Is this part of a plan to see how much your diaper can hold before it leaks out?

To keep it from falling on the floor?

This interests me, and I keep promising to stock up with these and not getting around to it. My very first experiment with body-worn toileting, before getting my first pack of nappies, was actually a home-made fecal collector. While it's very liberating and satisfying to be able to just make a mess in a nappy, it seems like a neat and fun idea to do it in a pouch that can be changed easily and cleanly. I don't think they are really targeted at ambulatory people though, more for those in bed. I wondered if it would be secure and reliable enough that I could use it overnight and not have to empty it until morning. I hate falling asleep in a dirty nappy so if need a poo after bedtime I have to get up and change when I've finished. I wonder how the collector would fare inside a nappy, as I would need to be able to pass water (could use a catheter I suppose)?
