Best incontinence cleansers, cloths & creams according to redditors

The most likely cause is that you have a fissure or internal hemorrhoid. Soap can make the problem worse, and I have started using only a soap-free perineal cleanser on my anus for that reason. Cheeky article about how soap is bad for the anus.

I agree with other posters that you should talk to a doctor about it. I mentioned to my GP that I was seeing blood in the toilet after sex, and he referred me to a colo-rectal specialist who performed a colonoscopy to rule out colon cancer and performed a painless procedure called banding to reduce the hemorrhoids.

You can buy larger wipes which are designed for adult use.

But really... you need to take a shower, because otherwise you'll start to smell pretty gross. Even if you don't notice, other people might.

So, there is so, so, so much other stuff you’re dealing with, and I’m so sorry. But just focusing on something that has a possibility to make your life a little easier, maybe, you said she wasn’t showering but was spraying herself with cleaner? Could you try giving her baby wipes or shampoo or something like this cleaner where if she douses herself in it but doesn’t really rinse it won’t hurt her?

Don't use baby wipes, use adult wipes. Just keep hair covered during white outs.

Yes! This was something I put a lot of thought into when I was really sick.

• /u/mnicoleb1773 already mentioned body wipes, which is an essential for the spoonie life. We're living in the golden age of body wipes and I love it. There are the medical grade ones (like these) and the fancier ones they sell in stores now for, like, "active people on the go", and the deodorant ones just for underarms, or whatever. For vulva-owners, I definitely recommend a wipe designed for that area.
  
  
• After the wipes, a good body powder is sometimes helpful (I love Lush's "silky underwear" to use under arms and the underboob area).
  
  
• For hair, if yours is short enough you can use rinse-free shampoo (some even come in a shower cap form where you just put it on and smoosh it around and throw it out). I usually fared better with dry shampoo and a re-hydrating spray for curly/wavy hair since my ends tend to dry out.
  
  
• And then there's shaving. Get an electric shaver that works dry. I got this basic one for $18, and it's absolutely good enough. I even use it on underarms after getting the area clean and thoroughly dry (a tiny bit of powder rubbed in before is helpful to reduce friction).
  
  
• Another option for shaving is the shave cream by EOS. It can be used dry! And it works as long as your razor is good and sharp and you go a tiny bit slower. (I wiped a damp washcloth on my legs first and that seemed to help) And then follow it with a damp cloth to get the residue. And you can just be sitting on the floor to do this anywhere.
  
  
• When I was feeling ambitious enough to shower, a stool was essential. My shower is tiny, and this one still fit. If you've got a bigger shower stall (or even a tub!) you can find some cuter shower chairs, even.
  
  
• And I would sit to floss. And really just, any time that it was logistically possible.

Looks like you found the white chux! (We don't have those on my unit, we use the blue ones, but those look nice!)

Try searching for "disposable wash cloth" for the other thing. I am thinking these might be what you are looking for. We use those as little burp cloths for babies, and I usually have my mom's use them to dab dry after peeing instead of toilet paper because it's softer and more absorbent. Just don't flush them! Throw them in the trash because they will clog your toilet.

i bring this for regular washing of hands with soap and water, and i also have purell, and i bring those big body wash wipes (i got mine from a hospital during a family member's surgery, but the nurse told me they sell them at REI too - link to bath wipes)

Spent a month in a small town in Ukraine where the water was only on once every five days.

this is your life now

We stopped using baby wipes a long time ago. We found we used a lot of them per change. They are, after all, baby wipes. We get Attends Wipes and they work great.

Are they using the straw house as their litterbox? If so, litter is probably a good choice.

If they are just happening to pee while in the house, I'd suggest maybe a fleece layer or a synthetic sheepskin which will let the pee go through into the pee pad.

I'll recommend the Duke Canon Cold Shower wipes. or some Medline Shower Wipes.

The Medline ones are actually good feeling, especially straight from the warmer.

Depends how long it will be, any leading brand of unscented wipes is basically the same (Live, Huggies, Pampers, Costco brand, etc) but I would stay away from the very cheap generic ones because the wipes themselves are very small and thin.

That's the kind of wipes that we would use in nursing homes for an actual dry bath. They truly get rid of bodily fluids smell.

Is this the stuff or do you get a different concentration?. If that's it then it looks possible to buy it online from a few places (Walgreen's also came up), I don't know if it's cheaper or more expensive than prescription though.

You can buy them right through Amazon:
