Mom is 78 and had a stroke to where the right side works but not very well. She also suffers from Parkinsonism. She is slow to go to the bathroom so has become dependant on disposable pull ups. Since she pretty much sits all day and does not walk much, they are causing sores on her rear. She says the pull up rubs her and causes this.
I was hoping someone had some experience with the washable cotton incontinence underware. I've researched some but was hoping someone had some firsthand experience with these. Any help is appreciated.
You might also want to try a good barrier cream. They can be pretty heavy so it is important to “pat” the cream on and not rub it on.
The cream that I found to work well was Desitin I often combined it with another cream that had calamine as a base.
The other thing that is very important since she sits a lot is changing her position. Something as simple as shifting in the chair will help. Getting up is better but I understand the difficulty. The important thing is to relieve the pressure and increase circulation.
