Amazon cheapest. In 7 years, this has been the best working combo for him.
We also bought a pressure relief cushion for his chair and an air mattress for his bed. He will still get some sores starting but the gel and Optiflex clear them
up great.
Another tip from my podiatrist - he said to use plain WHITE Dial soap. Before that I was using Cetaphil body wash for A LONG TIME.
HDIS, I've suggested before...they have pretty much every brand and items to help and can probably send you some samples.
This also reminds me of the rough time my dad had due to tape adhesive on his hairy arms when having cataract surgery...it all led to my discovery to some products made by the 3M company...and I recall one product (was it called Kind?) that put a thin barrier between the skin and for instance an electrode pad. Whatever it was it came in a wipe or spray I think...I think the WoundCareShop carried it...
Are they because the brief is not fitting properly? If so there are other products that might work better. More like "real" underwear with washable inserts.
And where are the blisters? Leg area? waist area? could be improper fitting or it could be due to sweat, the products have leak proof barriers so it will also hold sweat close to the skin and that can cause irritation.
If you are getting blisters due to improper cleansing that is another thing all together.
Barrier creams will help but proper cleaning is important.
Or is it that you might be sensitive or even allergic to either the wipes or briefs that you are using.
You also might need a different size? My father liked the Fred's brand pull-ups.
Some companies, like Depends, will send you free samples to try as they can get expensive. Also, you might try women's & men's to see if one feels better on you. If you're eligible for HomeHealthCare - they can supply a lot of items for you to try, including adult briefs.
My DH was only in them 3 days before he passed - I kept him ambulatory and he used a urinal for voiding and the bathroom for bowel movements. For him, I used Selan Silver barrier cream and I used Silver Miracles Colloidal Silver Gel for his pressure ulcer - The Colloidal Silver Gel was the only thing to cure his boo-boo (between his butt-cheeks) and it works wonders on blisters anywhere on the body. It runs $15 for a 4 oz jar but for us it is well worth it. I found it on Amazon.com and I still use it on my own boo-boos.
