How Do You Get A Man Of 89 To Start Wearing Pull Ups
It's bad when he gets poop in his pants - says no it not him smelling bad
How about doubling up. By that I mean take a pull-up and put it inside what ever he wears now it would be like a lining. Maybe he wouldn’t notice because he would see his regular underwear not the pull-up. Good luck hugs to you.
I think terminology helps. I just call his pull-ups underwear so he doesn't feel diminished in any way and he thinks it's just normal underwear. When I had to tear the seams to get them off one day to avoid a big mess, I told him it's a cool new invention in underwear and he was impressed. Now he questions me when I don't tear the seams to take them off. LOL I never know what reaction I'm going to get but the switch to pull-ups went pretty well I think in part because I acted like it was just regular underwear. But one never knows when that might change. Good luck and hugs.
Oh. On a side note. If you are a veteran, consider getting the pull-ups through the VA. I have found that to be a great cost-savings and they have his size which is very hard to find in a store.
When I put George in them I just switched them out. I have to help him dress anyway so I just put them on him and to my surprise he didn't complain about them. He fights me now, but that's nothing to do with the pull up. It's all dressing .
As one with Alzheimer’s, I have a plan to use pull-ups from the first ‘poop’ event - short of a case of gastroenteritis.
Up until then, “the boss” and I hope I flush with success.👃
