I'm looking for a great no-rinse periwash for my elderly mom.Does anyone have any experiences (good or bad) you'd be willing to share to lead me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Walmart stores carry them. Each morning I would squirt some body wash or no rinse soap, actually preferred the body wash in a pail of water, wash moms face, hands and neck, dry immediately, then move to her bottom area. My mom was incontinent during the night. She held onto a grab bar i had mounted in her bedroom. Would also wash the top of her thighs while sitting on the potty and the back of them when I stood her up. Usually she had a bowel movement on potty but if that did not happen, i used baby wipes to get that off then would wash her down with the bucket of soapy water. Tossed baby wipes in trash can (which I had beside each potty) rather then potty because sometimes I used a lot at one time. Would also have soft paper towels in the water first then the washrag. I was extremely fortunate, my mom never had a UTI. My favorite body was was dial liquid. I would try and avoid the thick creamy ones. Preferred the clear type. I probably just answered way more then you wanted to know, but hope some of it will be helpful. Happy Easter 🙏🌷🐣
I've found two good products, Sensi-care Perineal/ skin cleanser, 5 8oz spray bottles for about 22 dollars on amazon, and Medline Redi-bath luxe bathing washclothes, case of 24 packages of 8 cloths for about 36 dollars on amazon. The Redi-bath product can be heated in the microwave. Both products are effective in removing odors and do not need rinsing.
I broke my hip 3 weeks ago and had surgery. They gave me some wipes to bath with. Comfort Personall Cleansing. They felt good and easy to use and no rinse. I'm sure you can purchase them from a medical supply store or online. Hope this helps.
Unfortunately I spent 18 months in the hospital with my mom, but I was able to get my mom some of the best products from there. I'm not sure how you feel about going to your local hospital or preferably a university hospital (Hup University) if your near by, ask for the caregiver department for the hospital and proceed to explain to them what exactly you need,someone will definitely find a way to get it for you. They have the best of the best. Think about it,no hospital wants to be known for bed sores or urine odor in they're hospital.I also found that the ICU has some products that are a little better because of the inability for patients to move independently. If this wasnt helpful than just keep in mind that if you have a home health care provider they can also get all of those personal hygiene products and whatever else you need at no cost to you. I hope this was helpful .
I use flushable Cottonelle wipes in its own little container. You just tear off the top of the plastic and the harder plastic snaps over to keep the wipes moist. Try those...
Heck cwillie, recently my GYN had me stand legs wide over a disposable bed pad and cough to see if I "leaked". Later I got a bill in the mail for $20 and they called it a test! Same bed pads I buy at Freddie's - 18 for about $7!
wipes to bath with. Comfort Personall Cleansing. They felt good and
easy to use and no rinse. I'm sure you can purchase them from a medical
supply store or online.
Hope this helps.
