What’s a good waterproof under the seat carry-on or personal item? (horror stories about the diarrhea in the aisles etc)

You need to do better in the risk calculation department, OP.

My bag is made of nylon material and wipes clean easily. But if I were really concerned about bodily fluids, I would put it in a dry bag. I am not, so I don't.

OP: but what about explosive diarrhea flowing down the aisles on airplanes

And don't forget the snakes. Make sure your bag is snake-proof.

I'm not concerned about the remote chance if rivers of diarrhea.

I do however think about the fact that everyone stands in the urine soaked floor of the bathrooms then treks those germs back to their seat and rests their grimy shoes on the space/carpet where they are telling people to store their underseat bags.

Get trash bags of appropriate size. Put bag in trash bag, put under seat. Remove trash bag and discard when you sre off plane.

I would just cover the carry on, with a transparent trash bag, once inside the airplane.

Incidentally, I actually pack everything inside vacuum bags before putting it in a transparent trash bag, AND then I put it inside the suitcase. I have had incidents of luggage being put outside in the rain etc and ruining luggage inside the suitcase.

I am similar. I typically have my explosive diarrhea on trains, only 50% of time on the planes. People around me just use wet wipes and trash bags to cover up when that happens. Hefty trash bags are sturdy and may be a good choice, OP.

In my case, the pilot usually opts for a crash landing and the resulting fire takes care of the bags. And about half the people, some trapped by the fire and some who lost the will to live.

The OP should place herself in one of those garbage bags.

Who says it was the algorithm? Maybe she posted those stories about herself.

This approach is best. I prefer to use underseat bags that can be laundered because of the general cootie level in travel.

I like the clear bag idea - which you can discard immediately. I wouldn’t want to take a vomit or diarrhea covered bag home to wash it.

I had a terrified cat in a cat carrier below my seat have horrible diarrhea and escape from her owners cat carrier and run through the cabin, so OPs claims aren’t impossible.
