We are moving cross-country, and I am concerned about arranging sleeping arrangements until our furniture arrives. I can't pack many pads in a suitcase. The motel bed mattress may get wet if her disposable underpants get too saturated. Any suggestions?
Call ahead to the motels and ask for waterproof bedding to be provided to protect their mattresses.
You could also have a case of pads delivered to the motel to be held until your arrival.
I did get larger washable bed pad through Costco the brand is Conni and one pad holds like 80 ounces of fluid but with travel you do not want to be doing wash. The same company has washable liner pads for briefs or underwear as well.
If you are traveling by car just toss a box of briefs and pads in the car. If by plane then just buy a box when you arrive at your destination. Pack what you would need for a particular leg of you trip. Or UPS or Mail some to yourself to your final destination.
The bed protection may still allow the sheet to get wet, but at least it should protect the mattress pad and mattress.
For skin integrity, I would hesitate to use the pad/brief combo on an every night basis, but it should get you through this tough time.
Best of luck on your relocation. Things will get better when you are in a more convenient (closer) setting.
Confused about the sleeping arrangement question...the name is escaping me right now, but they do sell the inflatable mattresses at Bed Bath and Beyond.
As others have noted, there are many products that exist that aren't always easily available/common, some more protective than others...HDIS has a good variety and can guide you...
I hope I will have room to pack everything. I think I will pack 1 suitcase just with incontinence supplies.
Thanks for all your great suggestions. I really appreciate your input.
They have EVERYTHING you will need to protect your furniture. They even have panties that are washable so you're not spending boo coi $$$ on adult diapers. They have councilors to help discuss the issues you are facing with this too.
Gooh luck....just went through this a few months ago.
Mane sure you have the proper products so you are able to control UTIs!!! Can cause hospitalization.
