Look, I'm sorry to have to raise this as it's one of the worst aspects of caring for someone...
Please don't read on if you are about to eat.
My father has limited mobility/dexterity due to the associated Parkinsonism so his wiping is not very effective. He's now wearing Tena pants permanently and he gets a decent wash at least 3 times a week so is not hugely smelly. However, and there's no easy way to put this delicately, the hair in his bottom crack gets clogged with lumps of dried poo. Should I try and get some clippers in there? It's uncomfortable for him trying to extract them with a hot flannel and it's not a pleasant job for me either (or anyone else). Should I have a ring round some of the establishments in Brighton to see about waxing? ?
Sorry again...
