Nappy that only holds poo?

I am looking for a nappy that only holds poo, not wee... essentially a swim nappy but to wear all the time, does such a thing exist?

To cut a long story short, my son is toilet trained for wees but not poos - but it was difficult to train for wees and we have persisted for about 8 months without nappies to try and make progress with poos but have recently reverted back to nappies to give everyone a break (and other medical investigations are ongoing).However, now that he is back in nappies, my son has gradually stopped saying he needs the toilet and just wees in his nappies. I would rather avoid him regressing completely so wondering what we can do!

I've never come across any although I've not bought any nappies for a while. Can you not just use swimming nappies?

Washable training pants? They hold a little bit but not much so he’d get wet but will hold in poo.

Yes I can but they are just quite expensive compared with the price of a normal pull up so seems strange to be paying more for a nappy that does less, so just wanted to check if there were any other options..

I’ve just bought a totsbots reusable swim nappy and I think that would probably do the job. They come in some brilliant patterns! It does mean more washing tho

I got some Terry toweling pants from mothercare. They won't hold a wee, so he'd def leak through to his trousers etc. Ahould hold a poo but might depend on the size of them. DS has man poo I swear to god.

What about old fashioned reusable terry nappies?
