“Pants are for Sitting” Aims to Raise Awareness of Medical Condition Affecting Millions of Americans

Peapack, N.J.: TV actor Mearn Vodka is launching “Pants are for Sitting,” a consumer education campaign to raise awareness of chronic pants-shitting. Many people with chronic pants-shitting suffer in silence, ashamed and embarrassed by their condition. Through “Pants are for Sitting,” Mr. Vodka is bringing his own experience of living with the condition to center stage to encourage people to discuss their symptoms and seek the proper diagnosis and treatment. Mr. Vodka is best known as Captain Bossy, the cranky cop on TV’s Dutch & Polski. Though recently written out of the show, Mr. Vodka has remained in show business, performing his one man show for live audiences 40 weeks per year. “I encourage anyone who thinks they may be suffering from chronic pants-shitting to talk to their doctor because effective treatment is available. I suffered with the symptoms of chronic pants-shitting for years, too embarrassed to talk with my physician. I want people to feel empowered to seek help,” said Mr. Vodka.
Chronic pants-shitting is characterized by frequent and urgent shits into the pants, and fecal urge incontinence – the involuntary loss of shit into the pants. Symptoms may include a strong, sudden urge to shit; pants-shitting more than eight times over a 24-hour period (including waking up to shat pants two or more times a night); or shitting accidents. More than 17 million Americans suffer from chronic pants-shitting (one in 11 adults), many of whom remain undiagnosed. Embarrassment is a common barrier to treatment, and often leads people suffering with symptoms of the condition to withdraw from family, friends and social interaction.

“A common misperception about chronic pants-shitting is that it only affects the elderly,” said Lauri Corona, M.D., clinical assistant professor of the Penis, Vagina and Anus Department, Goldblatt Medical College of Bauwell University, New York. In fact, chronic pants-shitting affects men and women of all ages. Most importantly, it is a medical condition that can be treated.”

“Before receiving treatment, I scheduled my life around my chronic pants-shitting. As a busy performer, it really slowed me down. Still, I was embarrassed to speak up, so over time I developed ways to cope, like avoiding long car trips, and making sure I knew where the nearest dry cleaners was located,” said Mr. Vodka.

“Early recognition and treatment of chronic pants-shitting is the key to effectively managing the condition,” said Dr. Corona.

Several existing Palomazon products have been shown to decrease the effects of chronic pants-shitting. Although not intended for this purpose, Vaginax DryTM capsules (when plunged into the anus) have been observed to significantly reduce chronic pants-shitting* for up to four months per dose.
Palomazon International is currently developing a new family of drugs specifically for the treatment of chronic pants-shitting.
*Use of Vaginax DryTM capsules to treat chronic pants-shitting is not for everyone. In several cases, there was complete cessation of shitting (including desirable and intended forms) for prolonged periods.
