Hi I am new to this forum.
I have been caring for dad with dementia for 10 years and now also mum who is virtually immobile. My latest problem is that dad has recently become urinary incontinent. He is under the GP and on waiting list for Bowel & Bladder clinic.
During the day it is mostly manageable, I can change them and he doesn't take them off but at night I am not there and even when his pull up stays on all night the bed is wet. I've already cut down on liquids after tea-time. He refuses to try a wee before bed and seems to go more by night than by day. I've tried putting pants over the top to secure the pull up in place but they get removed.
Is it unreasonable to expect a Tena Maxi pull-up to last all night?
Has anyone found a successful alternative to these?
What success have people had with pyjama incontinence shorts and are they easily removed by the wearer?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
