The best way to take care of the incontinence problem is to act step by step. Some actions, which may seem not to have much to do with the problem, can be really helpful to manage it, both for active and bedridden people. 

It is often the case that people with incontinence belittle their problem, or they are so embarrassed, that they keep it a secret and never reveal it to their doctor or relatives.

Sensitive skin, especially the skin of the elderly who use absorbent products to manage their urinary/faecal incontinence require proper care.

Make sure that you have all the necessary items at hand before you start. Protect the bed with a special hygienic underpad before attempting to carry out the bed bath.

Taking care over your loved one in need of long-term treatment only on your shoulders, you need to take under account that this may expose you to many different emotions.
