Skin cleansers for perineal skin.

There are basically two different types of wash for sensitive skin that gets exposed to urine and feces, or is rubbed against diapers and pull-ups. These comprise of liquid washes that do not need to be rinses and disposable washcloths.

We offer several types of no-rinse wash on TotalHomeCareSupplies.com. The advantages of these types of washes are that a trip to the shower is not necessary. Many of these washes can be sprayed onto a moistened washcloth and then used on the area. Some items, such as Medline’s No-Rinse Shampoo and Wash can be used for both the body and the hair, eliminating the need for a shower for those who are bedridden. There are also no-rinse washes that are specifically for those with sensitive skin, like the FNC Medical Ca-Rezz Gentle No-Rinse Wash. For those looking for a combination cleanser and cream, the Tena Skin Caring Wash Cream protects, cleans and moisturizes the skin.

For those looking for a disposable washcloth to use after removing a used diaper, or to use as an alternative to a diaper, we offer several types and brands. The Prevail Adult Incontinence Washcloths are enhanced with lotion for better skin health and are very strong, meaning they won’t break up during use. The Sage Comfort Bath Cleansing Washcloths contain everything needed for a gentle skin soothing bath: moisturizers and mild, no-rinse cleansers. For those individuals who are looking for a travel pack of washcloths to take on the road, Tranquility offers packages with sixteen wipes each.
