At least half of older adults experience incontinence, which can include involuntarily leaking urine from the bladder or eliminating fecal matter from the bowel.
Urinary incontinence is especially common in women, thanks to life events like pregnancy, childbirth and menopause.
One of the best ways to deal with incontinence is to wear incontinence briefs, also called adult diapers/disposable pants.
If you are the one responsible for changing a loved one’s diapers, it is a good idea to store all of the needed supplies near the bed so that you are not scrambling for things when there is an accident.
These include:
1.Disposable medical gloves
2.A clean adult diaper
3.A plastic grocery bag (which you can collect every time you’re at the grocery store)
4.Pre-moistened wipes, such as baby wipes or wet wipes (or, alternatively, a skin cleanser with disposable cloths)
5.Skin protection barrier cream
Make sure these supplies are dedicated to diaper changing only. It is important, for example, not to share barrier cream.
Furthermore, if you store all of your supplies in one place, you are less likely to accidentally run out of wipes or skin cream.
There are many factors to consider when choosing an absorbent product, including flexibility that corresponds with your loved one’s activity level,
choosing a unisex product or one that is gender specific, sizing, style (tab-style or pull-on), absorbency level, and preference for disposable or reusable products.
