A method and apparatus for minimizing fecal incontinence in a subject, is disclosed. An inhibition action incontinence device includes a truncated cone with an angled concavity at a top portion. The truncated cone is positioned at the external opening of the anal canal. The truncated cone may be positioned to effect a positive pressure on the external sphincter muscles and the anal slit across the peri-anal tissues. It is believed that the truncated cone exploits the voluntary inhibition action of the external sphincter muscles and the simple mechanical closure of the anal slit to decrease fecal incontinence and soiling.
