my sister cut out giving my father coffee
since he stopped the caffeine and limited sugary foods ( not stopped cut down)
his incontinence issues have lessened by about two thirds
if anyone with has issues try cutting out the coffee
mh father used to put in disposable undies under incontinence boxer shorts now he just uses the disposables and no wet sheets either
i hope this updates helps others as it helped my dad
If the cover gets wet, just wash it and chux's.
Works like a charm.
SafeRest 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector https://a.co/d/1WZXlVS
1. Encase the mattress in a good, padded, non-crinkly, totally waterproof cover (like SureGuard Mattress Encasement - 100% Waterproof, Bed Bug Proof, Hypoallergenic - Premium Zippered Six-Sided Cover). This is the final barrier to your mattress, so don't skimp.
2. Put on a regular fitted sheet.
3. Cover the fitted sheet with a Mambe Non-Slip Pet Blanket or Furniture Cover. The size should be large enough to drape over the sides a bit. The blanket adds extra cushioning and provides an important second waterproof barrier. They may be a little costly, but unlike typical incontinence pads which lose their waterproofness after only about five washes, the Mambe blankets retain 100% waterproofness through many washes (I have some that've probably been washed 50-80 times and still going strong). You may want to use elastic bed sheet straps with the blanket if the person is restless at night. The blanket is super waterproof but unfortunately not very absorbent, which is why there's a fourth layer.
4. Lay a large cotton throw or towel (or even ShamWow) over the Mambe blanket. The material should be highly absorbent, enough to hold a night's worth of pee, and sized big enough to cover where the person's bottom will be laying or moving around on.
This setup may seem complicated, but it's really an easy task to pick up the Mambe blanket and cotton throw layers (and even the fitted sheet layer if necessary), throw everything in the washer and dryer in the morning, put it all back on the bed and be ready that same night. I recommend getting a second Mambe blanket and cotton throw, in case you don't want to chance leaving the bed unmade, or if you just run out of time to do laundry. With cats, I didn't dare leave the bed unmade, so I had to have multiple spares of everything.

Here's another tip. To keep the padded mattress cover from slipping around on the plastic mattress, I bought a roll of rubberized slip proof liner (that is used to keep small floor mats from slipping) and placed it under the mattress cover. It kept everything from slipping and sliding around.
At night I used a vinyl mattress cover to protect the mattress and used a large mattress pad between him and the fitted sheet. This worked well in protecting the mattress, but I had to wash his sheets every day because he had accidents or removed the diaper during the night.
Dad had dementia, so you may not have success doing what I was able to do. Also, you may already know this, but someone I had consulted about Dad's care told me that adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash water would prevent the urine smell in the sheets. I wish you success.
There was no plastic noise to them. We put them between the mattress pad and the fitted sheet.
Worked great...and when folded, also worked for protection while she was in the wheel chair.
P.S. I would start now so that he will get used to the "little extra cushion" under him.
dl that’s a waterproof strip of material which has flaps to tuck in and goes across middle of bed- washable
got a couple so when ones in the wash I have another
so I have two lots of protection plus his incontinence underwear. At night he wears the disposable incontinence highest strength briefs under his incontinence boxer shorts
and that works for him
i got a nappy bin but I don’t call it that and he’s quite pleased with it and in a routine now to put them into the no of our bin himself
in fact he goes one further by putting them into those nappy bin bags then into his nappy bin - no odours and all clean
oh
i did also invest in duvet cover protector sheets so waterproof and wipeable - you put a duvet cover over them
in the beginning I had him lay on a thin summer duvet - in the mattress protector -
in a duvet cover
sounds a lot and prob is !
but I’m left with a clean house and now it’s routine
and I just find I’m washing far less
wipe down jobs with a cloth and spray disinfectant
hardly any work at all now
to the wet bet nonsense I was dealing with and smells!
good luck
You will also want to use a washable quilted bed pad, I suggest getting the larger ones as they are not only more effective but will also be less noticeable.
