I don't know if soiling of underwear is a common theme with AF, but I've had it after I got my condition. Before then there was NEVER any bad smell or soiling (I am a Monk-level germophobe and hygiene freak). I always wash and scrub with soap during my daily shower, and after each BM I use up 30 pieces of toilet paper (slightly dampened). The problem is that during the course of the day there is leakage and I can't clean every twenty minutes.
I don't think masking the smell with colognes etc will help much, or is even advisable
