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

Choosing the right product is very important as the user’s comfort will depend on it. First step that needs to be taken is to determine the level of incontinence you are dealing with.

Correct selection is not only based on the category of a product, but also depends on its size. Bad-fitting diaper may influence user’s health and increase the expenses.

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.

Looking after an ill person, especially a bedridden one, you need to involve a lot of energy into it. 

If possible, the person under your care should have a separate room with easy toilet access, or a commode in the room.
