Of the various types of incontinence, chronic incontinence due to an irreversible weakening of the sphincter is the most embarrassing. Suffers must wear adult undergarments for the rest of their lives and are rendered unable to act in most professional situations because of the embarrassment of defecating unexpectedly. So how can the twin elements of effort and surprise be removed?

This is the Effortless Defecation Tube. An already weakened or malfunctioning sphincter is of no use to the owner, so it is removed. In its place, a wide, flexible tube is inserted into the opening, stretching from just above the second sphincter, just inside the rectum, to outside the body where a fitted pad is taped to the buttocks so sitting is not disrupted.

Now, when the incontinence sufferer has a bowel movement, they are essentially unaware. Their lack of control is not an issue because they don't feel it coming or going and so they don't worry if others sense their effort (a profound insecurity that comes with anyone else's awareness of one's incontinence). They become aware simply by feeling the feces on their skin, within their undergarment, and only after the bowel movement is complete. They will finally be able to function normally, undisturbed by their constant bowel movements.
