What causes adult diaper rash?

Adult diaper rash can occur for a variety of reasons, but tends to develop when skin is exposed to prolonged wetness and skin pH is increased by frequent contact with urine and stool.  The outermost layer of the skin begins to break down, causing redness, rash and irritation. Diaper rash can result from diarrhea, frequent stools, overtight diapers, overexposure to ammonia, or allergic reactions to harsh chemicals.

Here are some tips to prevent diaper rash:

  1. Change your diaper more often than you normally do.
  2. Occasionally air dry during a diaper change and leave the diaper off for a while, if you can.
  3. Use unscented washcloths or wipes to clean during a diaper change.  Perfumes can be harsh on sensitive skin.
  4. Using the correct size of adult diaper.  (Click here for an adult diaper sizing guide)
  5. The use of an incontinence cream and wash has been seen to reduce diaper rash.

Changing Adult Diapers

We here at TotalHomeCareSupplies.com realize that changing an adult diaper, regardless of if you are wearing the diaper or you are the caregiver of someone with incontinence, is not always an easy task.

Adult Diaper Changing in 6 Steps

Here is a link to 6 simple steps for changing an adult disposable diaper.

  1. Determine how far away from your nearest flat surface you are to changing that diaper.
  2. Select the type of change you’ll feel confident with completing the change in.
  3. Try to contemplate the privacy issues that may result in the diaper-change.
  4. Decide which one best fits your style of diaper, and whichever one makes you feel the least embarrassed to have completed.
  5. Complete that style of diaper-change that had been chosen for you or your loved one, dependent on the type of diaper and amount of comfort you’ve chosen.
  6. Clean up.
