If your clothing is damp or soaked, replace it with a fresh set. You may want to consider carrying an extra set of clothes to be prepared for these situations.
If you’re in a public bathroom without towelettes, just use dry toilet paper. In the future, consider bringing a pack of moist towelettes with you. Avoid applying creams to this area when you’re using liners. Creams might reduce the effectiveness of liners.
Never reuse a wet pad. Always dispose of soiled pads. Some brands may have a “wetness indicator” that will fade or change color when it is time to change your pad. Read the package of your pads for more information. Remember that the best way to prevent skin irritation is to keep the skin clean and dry. This requires checking the liner often and changing it as soon as it becomes soiled.
If you get irritation from wearing the briefs, apply diaper cream or barrier cream over the areas that touch your briefs. Get in the habit of carrying moist towelettes with you. You can pull these out in public restrooms to clean yourself if you need to change. Make sure your skin is completely dry before you put on a belted brief.
Some tabs may have a paper backing over the adhesive on each tab. Remove this before securing the briefs. Other pads may use velcro to attach the briefs. In this case, you don’t need to remove anything.
Some brands may have a “wetness indicator” that will show when you need to change your briefs. Read the package for more information.
You can buy gloves at grocery stores, convenience stores, or pharmacies.
If their underwear is soiled or wet, make sure to remove them entirely and replace them with a fresh pair.
If the person is wearing an adhesive liner, pull off the paper backing. Press the adhesive liner down into the seat of their underwear. If the person wears a non-adhesive liner, insert it between their legs from front to back. Pull up their underwear to keep it secure. If the person is using belted briefs, pull over each set of tape to the other side of the brief. Press down for a few seconds until it holds.
