The problem is mostly that she can't pull up her pull on diaper underwear. I think she can usually pull up her pants, but not always. PT is not an option as we've been that route and she hated it. There is a wall with a window directly to her left if she's standing at the toilet, I thought about having her just turn and lean against it so the wall can support her weight. Is that a bad idea? She often leans up against the sink when she's done so she can tie the drawstring on her pants. Is there anything else that could work? I thought about switching her to the tabbed diaper briefs (like baby diapers), but I don't know if she could figure those out. It could just make her worse mentally, I don't know.
You might consider adding a grab bar under or over the window at just the right height for your mother to hold to or rest her weight like she does at the sink. I found with my mother that having a grab bar available in just the right place has been very enabling.
From dire necessity, I invented a simple $3 one piece device (solution) and haven't had to change her pull-ups in 3 years. It is now quick and easy for her to do it herself. There is nothing else on the internet made for this purpose.
If I can find enough demand for this device, I intend to have a non-profit disabled American manufacturer mass produce and market/sell/ship them.
Because I can not post make-one-yourself images/videos in these incontinence websites, I'm in the process of making my own Facebook site for this purpose. I haven't chosen a FB public site name yet but sure "incontinence" will be part of the name. Keep an eye out for it. Hang in there just a little longer!
