According to someone who should know, here's the poop on
female waste disposal:

"female waste disposal is accomplished via a plastic/impermeable
synthetic material which encloses the female perineum and is
secured by strong adhesive to the skin; the apex of the
collection unit is drained by a tube which can be open or closed
- when open, the unit drains into a large central collection
unit;  this is a modification of a technique used to collect
urine from female infants in whom a urinary tract infection
is suspected."
