Wearing adult diapers and incontinence pads on a daily basis can take a toll on the skin, especially if you don’t change and cleanse often. Adult diaper rashes can be irritating and painful, but they’re also completely preventable. These following Aloe Vesta products are the tools you’ll need to promote better skin care while managing urinary incontinence:
After each change, it’s important to thoroughly wipe the perineal area clean and dry to prevent diaper rashes and yeast infections. Adult wipes, such as the Aloe Vesta Bathing Cloths, are larger than baby wipes and easy to use. These disposable washcloths contain botanical oils which moisturize and condition the skin, without leaving a sticky residue. Convenient to use while changing in a public restroom, these disposable wipes can also be used for no-rinse bed bathing.
The last step to maintaining incontinence skin care is to apply a barrier onto the perineal area. Also known as adult diaper cream, a barrier forms a thick protective coating on the skin to prevent rashes and bed sores from developing. The Aloe Vesta Protective Ointment is a petrolatum-based ointment that effectively moisturizes the skin. This skin care product is ideal for all skin types and often recommended by medical professionals.
The most important thing to remember when maintaining personal hygiene with incontinence is to keep the skin clean and dry from urine and fecal matter. Changing as soon as soiling occurs, in addition to using these incontinence products, can help protect sensitive skin and prevent painful rashes and infections.
