Abstract
Examples relate to systems and methods to periodically apply inward pressure against the contents of non-intrusive bodily waste collection devices. The systems and methods disclosed herein utilize a non-intrusive bodily waste collection device having an outermost fluid impermeable barrier forming a chamber therein, one or more ports on the fluid impermeable barrier for removing fluids therefrom via a vacuum source, and one or more input ports fluidly coupled to a positive pressure source to input fluid into the chamber to collectively apply periodic inward pressure against the contents of the bodily waste collection device.
