Voices from Real-Life Experiences
The pads and diapers we received didn’t fit properly or were mismatched in terms of gender or intended use, so unfortunately, we couldn’t use them despite having received them.
I had a parent under my care and couldn’t move to an evacuation shelter. We didn’t receive any information about supply support, but thanks to our stockpile, we managed to get through the situation.
Due to poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, and limited access to toilets, I ended up becoming constipated.
Risk of Unavailable Home Nursing Services
After a disaster, home nursing services may be unavailable for about a week. Families should practice caregiving tasks like feeding and toileting. In home care situations, supplies may be hard to obtain. Stock at least 3 to 7 days’ worth of pads and diapers suited the user. Going to the toilet helps maintain physical function, so guide them to use it regularly.
Hygienic Care with Combined Use of Outer and Inner Products
By combining adult diapers (outer) with urine pads (inner), and regularly replacing the inner pad, you can maintain hygienic excretion care.
This method also reduces the need to change the outer diaper each time, helping to cut down on waste by approximately 20%.*
