Today I will be doing a review that is very inportant to skin heath for those who are incontinent. To keep your skin clean you must have the propper adult wipes. The brand I have most recently found useful is Pro Care Wipes. Why use Pro Care Wipes instead of a traditional wash cloth? 1.Single hand dispencing, helps to reduce cross contamination. 2.Alcohol-free, latex-free & Clinically tested. 3.Rinse free Ingredients: Water, Popylene Gycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phospholipid CDM, Aloe Vera Gel, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, 2 Bromo 2 Nitropropano 1, 3 Diol, Fragrance, Disodium Phosphate. This is a great product to use for those with incontinence. It keeps skin clean and safe from skin iritation and rashes.
This week I am reviewing another product in the category of incontinence. The product I am reviewing is Nu-Fit Adult Briefs by First Quality. The way I acquired this product is from my local Goodwill Store. This is a great way to get incontinence products for very cheap if you don't have the money to purchase them from major retailers, but these products go are not always available every day. I would like to say that after trying this product that the comfort of this brief is great. I have used other products and after trying this one I may change to this one. This brief doesn't fall down like most briefs I have tried, I stays securely in place for hours. The clothe like feel makes it as comfortable as wearing underwear and not a diaper. On a scale of 1-10 I give it an 8, it's Tena is still my favorite product, but if Tena wasn't an option I would go with this brief. For Moderate to Heavy Incontinence Protection
The NU-FIT Diaper features:
Cloth-like back sheet
Breathable zones for air circulation
Easy Lock Fastener (ELF) tabs grip without being sticky
Recovering from my VNS procedure has been a lone and hard road. At first when the device was turned on it didn't bother me that much. The stimulation was at a minimum level that I could tolerate.
Unfortunately I was still having a lot of seizures. So when I went back to see the doctor recently, he had to up the dose of stimulation.
I have recently been suffering from dizziness, disorientation, feeling lightheaded, shortness of breath, hoarseness of voice, and more seizures. I'm not saying just yet that the VNS is not effective. I'm just saying that there is a long time to recover from the surgery, and all the adjustments from the device. I am very sure that everything will work out in the end. I am just writing this article so epileptics who want this procedure will know what to expect. So far there has been a lot of pain with the healing, and a lot of dizziness with the adjustments of the VNS device.
One thing I would like to talk about today is safety while bathing. A lot of people don't think of this being a big deal, but as an epileptic it is. I have heard of people having a seizure in the tub and drowning. Here are some tips to keep you safe: 1. Take a shower instead of a bath. 2.Use a shower chair or seat in case of drop attack. 3. If you have to take a bath make sure to have someone with you in the bathroom, I case of a seizure. 4. Make sure to have safety bars or railings installed in your bath tub or shower, to prevent falls.
Since writing my article on incontinence I have received a lotfeedback and questions via private messages through YouTube and e-mails. I have also done videos on this subject. The questions I have received are what is the best product and does Medicare or Medicaid pay for incontinence supplies.
Well as far as Medicare and Medicaid, some of the suppliers around me either won't accept it or make you pay something up front until the insurance clears. So I really don't bother and I try and pay for my own. The one place I have bought from online that has really great deals is Magic Medical, they have free shipping on case orders and 5% off when you buy more than one case.
As far as what is the the best product? The only products I have tried is Depend and Tena. I am recently trying a new products to help my readers.
One product I have decided to try is Tranquility Top Liner Booster Super-Plus Contour. I got this product through a supplier that gives away free samples of incontinent products.
A booster is an ad on to an Adult Brief to absorb more liquid for those with very heavy incontinence. I will have to say that this product works great. The absorbency is great and it ads extra comfort to both adult briefs as well as the protective underwear.
On a scale from 1-10 I give it a 10.
I hope this article was helpful.
