Hello! So I have a couple questions about showering and alternatives to showering.
I have noticed that since the hubs starting wearing diapers, he is showering less and less. It was a couple times a month, but now its at least once a week. The problem is the odor. Well that and the intermittent rash, although we keep him powdered with the medicated anti fungal, sometimes it crops up.
I am not sure why the aversion to showering, so I was wondering if anyone else has developed the same? Like does it seem like its too much of a hassle with all the undoing and re-padding?
Also is there anything anyone can recommend to use for those in between days? Because there are days when its been a week or so since last shower, that the odor is particularly strong, and getting close to put a fresh diaper on, can be a little hard on me.
He doesnt seem to notice the odor, so helping him understand can be tricky. But I have gotten him to agree to once a week.
I would really like to know if there is an alternative for him to use to clean up the diaper area with. Something easy that can be done fast. Wipes just dont cut it.
On a side note, what all do you do with the used diapers? Currently we have a plastic 13 gal kitchen trashcan in the bathroom, with a pop up lid (not the metal canister style). by the time its full, just openeing it will fill our bathroom and adjoining bedroom with the smell of old urine (it gets changed about once a week) is there an air freshener that is recommended? We are using lysol, but it is not powerful enough.
Any ideas on these questions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks much!
