Incontinence Care

[@benfrank8649]

I’m newly single, and super self conscious/worried about becoming a burden to future partners, or seeming just undesirable altogether

[@candicefrost4561]

Your life has value! Even in this new stage of your life, you are still capable of giving education to young people like me who are learning to care for others by caring for people like you! Allowing others to care for you can be a form of giving, even if it seems like a burden. People learn skills, humility, creativity, and patience when they care for others.😊☺️

[@benfrank8649]

Candice I needed that! Thank you

[@benfrank8649]

I’m only 32

What if the loved one cant even get up by her own and you have to pick her up and put her on the toilet seat in the toilet which is so dirty that you don't even want to step in🥺

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Buy AZO.

[@nandamari]

Thank you for this series. I've recently become a caregiver and every bit of advice is helpful.

[@alliekat4495]

Excellent video! Very informative and thorough. Thanks you helped me help my mom.

[@DontUBaDiva]

Is there a technique for protection of clothes from leaking as a person is transferring to the toilet? My mom wears adult diapers but lately she is leaking after we get her pants and undergarment down as she goes to sit on the potty. I've used a clean washcloth in the back which Handels most of it but recently she also leaked on the front too. Hopefully there is a practical strategy for this.

[@EugeniaBonucci1965]

Hello maybe pull the brief down just below the buttocks but above the thighs. After she is seated you could lift her knees one at a time and scooch the brief down

[@DopeFrameOfMind]

She sounds so reassuring and so kind!

[@stclare58]

Definitely!,

[@stephaniemartinez5610]

A good video to assist me with my father.

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Buy pull-up undergarments or adult diapers that use the Velcro or easy adjustment and adjustment changes.

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Don’t give them coffee or caffeinated tea.

[@jennyfayecase555]

I have trouble with sleeves twisting, especially LONG sleeves. How do I prevent the twisting as I help her put on a top?

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Use A & D ointment and All natural Shae butter.

[@janetsavona3542]
