Tips for Preventing Adult Diaper Rash

Posted by Chris Moynihan on April 18, 2014 under BladderMatters | Be the First to Comment

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:

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

Prevail Youth Diaper product review from a verified TotalHomeCareSupplies customer: “This product is perfect for a special needs child who is too big for diapers but still needs the diaper-like bottoms, when ‘Pull-Up’ style doesn’t fit the child’s lifestyle. These are great because it gives GREAT protection! No more waking up soaking wet from leaky diapers. Also, no need to totally undress to change diapers. The diaper-like tabs make changing quick and easy for those who can’t be still long enough to go through a clothes change to change the diaper product! Love the absorbency and how it keeps fecal matter away from the child’s bottom! And I love how there are bigger sizes available to grow with the child! Prompt delivery and product was packaged perfectly. Box fit in closet perfectly!”
