My previous thread has gone dormant so I can't bump it up so I'll copy it here





You may already know that all pull-up style products (at least any that I've come across) are designed to tear easily along the sides for removal, but getting a clean one on doesn't have to involve getting undressed, which can be a real pain in public washrooms! I'll skip the directions and post a couple of video links, because a picture (or video) is worth a thousand words. 😂

A nice bandage scissors works well. That's what we nurses used to use. They are small enough and don't cut the person. Look them up online.

That's not the point Alva, getting them off is the easy part! The ability to save a few steps by not having to take off pants (and invariably shoes too) to put on a clean pullup saves a lot of time and fuss, especially if you need to use a public restroom.

Why did AgingCare add a question mark to my post 😠

I was suppose to be shown how to do this for Mom. The aides had her toileted, cleaned up and dressed so fast. I was told they knew a trick. I wish I had known this trick when Mom was living with me. I didn't know that pull ups ripped down the sides.

Thanks Becky, when I learned that trick I thought it was a miracle!
