Re: why a smelly nappy?

I am sorry I have not been on lately as I have a lot of doctors appointments. I think I might try laying on my bed without a brief on now we are moving into the summer time because rashes are horrible. I have some reusable chux that I use at night so I am a little nervous about having a bowel accident during the day. I could try finding a cloth backed diaper/brief to allow my skin to breath after I have a bowel movement. I don't think I would be able to use them all the time because of the volume of urine and poop released in an accident and the odor of my accidents.

Re: why a smelly nappy?

I'm quadriplegic so I spend a lot of time in bed. Just laying on a overnight bed pad works fine most days. I only need the adult diaper briefs when I'm in My wheelchair. With complete loss of bladder and bowel control. Cloth backed briefs. Just don't really work. I was in a long term care center for about 6 months. They used cheap cloth backed briefs and even the better cloth backed over night briefs. As well as bed pads. Too many times I lost My bowel in My chair or bed. And thank goodness for the bed pad. Because the briefs did not do their job.
