onlychild.. that's interesting about the prepH, I am from Canada, I wonder why you can't get it in the states. I find Penaten cream works really well (in the light blue disc shaped tin), it's used for baby rashes etc. You can get that down there I'm sure!

I have the same problem with my mother so I put an extra pad into the diaper so that a lot of it is towards the back. So far this works great. I use Walgreens brand of adult briefs and pads. I also use their wipes because they are larger than normal ones.For men there are pads and other things that can be put up front since that's where their urine stays .I wish the companies that make the adult diapers would make them as absorbent as they do baby diapers. What needs to be made is adult diapers for women with the extra padding in the right place since the back is where protection is needed most. I have also found that Preparation H
with BioDyne is excellent for preventing skin break down even after a red spot as started. This is rather expensive and has to be ordered online from Canada. I used diaper rash creams with zinc to protect the skin from moisture but found that skin break down starts to happen anyway.

My mother wears Depends, but that is "just in case". She has a commode right beside her bed that she uses if she has to go in the middle of the night. Would a commode be an option for the person you are concerned about?
