Hello Marek. I have an 11 year old boy that is fully incontinent and face similar issues. I used to change him in the ladies’ room, but he started resisting that about a year ago. Over time I found a few suitable places to change him in our town and try to make it one of those, if he needs to be changed, but half the time I end up changing him on the floor of some special needs restroom. I always have a foldable changing mat in the car. During the warmer months, I like to change him in the back of our station wagon in some quite corner of a parking lot.
