My mother lives with a colostomy bag and therefore has a stoma which is where the bowel has been redirect and the body’s waste is eliminated. She also has various allergies and extremely sensitive skin.
As her main caregiver, I assist my mom with changing her colostomy bag every 4 to 7 days, depending on need. Unfortunately, despite gently washing the area with water and a soft wash cloth, we were finding that her skin was becoming increasingly irritated, leaving it red, raw, and painful.
While out shopping one day, I happened to stumble upon the Natural Care Huggies Wipes and picked up a container to see if they would work better for her. They have been absolutely amazing and I’m so glad that I did decide to purchase them.
They are extremely soft and gentle but still clean well. They also, provided the container or package is always appropriately closed after use, retain their moisture.
The other nice thing about these wipes is that they, like other Huggies wipes, are available for purchase in a variety of sizes. They are also available in hard shell containers and then, if you wish, can purchase a refill package instead of purchasing another hard shell container. There are travel pouches and refill packages available which are great for on the go!.
I would highly recommend these wipes for use on babies but also believe that they are a fantastic option for people such as my mother!
