We use them, as well as Depends pull-up panty style diapers, but she manages to get the bed wet often enough anyway. One problem we are encountering is that she gets up, goes to the bathroom, then on the way back to bed, totally removes the depend and leaves in on the floor and gets back into bed, then wets it. We have to be very very diligent and watch her constantly or she is pulling the doggone thing off. She imagines she doesn't need it.  SignatureEvelyn (To reply to me personally, remove sox) Evelyn, There called chux.My mom sleeps very still so they work well for her.And she doesn't wake at night.She has woke up and changed her clothes though and does not put one on.She will lay something where she wet.By the way does your MIL ins.pay for her depends?My moms does.Medica.I bought 2 of the cloth ones off ebay and i will let you know how they work. > Evelyn, > There called chux.My mom sleeps very still so they work well for [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > does.Medica.I bought 2 of the cloth ones off ebay and i will let you > know how they work. My mother in law pays for her own depends and the chux too. She still has her own money to pay for her needs. She keeps on taking them off though, laying them on the floor of her room, then peeing down her legs on the carpet across the hall to the toilet. AAARGH! SignatureEvelyn (To reply to me personally, remove sox) I work in a group home and we use both chux and the cloth pads. To help save the mattress, put a couple of the cloth pads or the chux under the fitted sheet. Also, if your LO becomes bedridden and you have to reposition the LO, you can grab the edge of the pad at both ends and use that to help turn them (like a drawsheet in hospitals on hospital beds). It will help save your back. |
