Old dog peeing inside and diapers aren't helping. Please help

My family boxer is 13 years old and lives with my parents but I'm currently taking care of her while they're away. She has never had problems peeing inside before but in the past week and a half she's peed inside multiple times (once in the apartment and 3 times in the hallway).

I thought it might be because I took too long to take her out (5 to 6 hours which is usually since she doesn't do well with the summer heat so my parents usually take her out only once during the day and longer in the morning and evening). But then one day we went out, 4 hours later she peed in the hallway on the way out and 4 hours after that peed in the hallway again on the way out (both times we still went out for a walk ofcourse).

I got her diapers just so we can make it outside but the moment we stepped outside she squat down to pee and in an instant the pee poured out of the tail hole. I'm worried that the next time this will happen in the hallway and the diaper won't help at all.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the diapers just aren't ment for a dog actively squatting down and peeing?

And the first two weeks of staying with me she had no problem so I don't think the problem is specifically being confused for staying at a new place.

I know this is probably some health issue and we'll be taking her to the vet for a checkup, I'm just asking for a very short term solution so I won't have to clean the hallway again in 3 hours when we go for a walk.

TLDR I bought diapers for my old dog but when she squats and pees it instantly leaks, are diapers meant to help with active squatting and peeing?

Keep the stickers unused or stick them in a reusable sticker book?

I have been considering starting a sticker collecting for a while now, remembering how fun I used to have collecting them and exchanging them with friends when I was little. This weekend I went to a fantasy convention and bought a few beautiful stickers and two sheets to start my collection. I've been wondering something but haven't found the answer online so I'm asking here. Do I store them as they are or stick them in a reusable sticker book? I've seen videos/posts of people doing either or. I'm highly leaning towards a sticker book, since one of the main reasons I started collecting is to have a sticker book like I did when I was a kid, but I also don't want to later regret using the stickers. What do you yourself do and why did you decide on that? Did you start out one way but then change your approach? Does the sticker community prefer one over the other and why?
