Not the pad part, but the panty part on my 91 yo mom chafes her when she sits, like sandpaper, making raw sores: how do these compare?

I find that the elastic or bands used around the leg area do not irritate and the brief all around is well padded. Never had a problem with chafing, might benefit from using an ointment ie A&D.;

I don't think your Mom will have that problem with Tena. I have very sensitive skin that chafes easily, but these are fine. That's the reason I switched to Tena in the first place. - the other well-known brand was irritating my skin. I forget I'm wearing diapers with these because they feel so much like regular underwear.

My mom is 90 and of course, had a difficult time transitioning to wearing incontinence products of any kind and we tried several kinds, shapes, sizes and brands before we tried Tena for her. The absorption is excellent, the fit is great and the price (on Amazon) cannot be beaten. I highly recommend this product.

My own mom is 88 and wears these pants all the time with fairly frequent changes (4 - 7 times per 24-hour period) due to urinary incontinence. She's been wearing them exclusively for over a year and has NEVER had an issue with chafing, sores or other irritations. They fit well (better than Depends), are very comfortable for her and are extremely absorbent. My mom loves them, and she can go anywhere without embarrassment. I hope this helps.

She will most likely just keep it down if she uses it. I can handle it. I'm 61. One problem I have once in a while is the belt slips to the side and I have to get my husband to help me "true" it so I don't get that burned rubber smell.I still like the treadmill but if I had it to do over I would get one with padding. Look for one with a small footprint so it doesn't take up much room. That is what I liked about this one.

We purchased two of these pads. We used it on 6 individuals and they said they, like myself, only felt any pain relief while the lit area of the pad, which is very small, was touching the skin. Once the pad was removed, the pain was immediately back for all of us.

I have the checkered-like print called "Sterling". She loves it just fine. No itching, and no more sweating than usual (we live in South Florida).

gave one to my mother-in-law 23 months ago that just this past week stopped working. She used it 3-4 times a week and had nothing but praise for it. She's often commented it's the best heating pad she's ever had. I just ordered her another one. She primarily uses hers on the neck/shoulder area and has never mentioned any problem with the fit.

My mom is 84 next month and it is not hard for her to use at all. She uses a cushion on top. The only thing I can say negative is that it is not light and a little difficult for her to move if she wants to use it on different furniture.

A more firm bed is often recommended for a sore back. This foam pad is comfortable and comes in thicker sizes. I didn't wan't my bed to be too soft and mushy,just a bit softer. It was too firm .like a wrestling matt. Back problems are serious , I overcame mine with acupuncture years ago and have never felt better. The pad helps if you sleep and roll over on your arm or sleep on your side .

The sleeves may help your Mom but they also may respond to sharp nails by showing a pull like a nylon type material. It may be worth a try and the price is not too much an investment. Good luck!

You really do need some one there---How frail is Mom?. I'm not joking. My husband and I went through numerous Maxi rub's. Not because they are bad---but it's the greatest and best gift I ever gave my construction worker husband. We used to do each others backs every night for 1/2 an hour each and it really did the greatest number on our backs. He's passed now and I really realize what a great deal of help that massager was doing for both of us. I miss him---and our 1/2 therapy with that maxi. It would be awkward if it was for your Mom to do on her own. If she had a lower back problem she might be able to "prop" it in a chair and lean against it. If she's elderly it might be a problem. I'm 64 and I bought myself a "Shiatsue" massager (sp). If your Mom has siatica (sp) that might be a problem too. Some women who have Calcium deficiancy in their bones might find this uncomfortable. There are cheap models under a 100.00 out there but they aren't much good---the one that's about 125.00 or so is great---My boss borrowed it and 4 friends---I had to threaten one of those to give it back. They are like a matte that you sit on with a back. The good ones have metal or hard plastic balls in the back part that go up and down---mine can go side to side along the spine---you can also use the remote to hit the button to make it stay in one spot. I love mine---If any of this is too much sometimes a plain old heating pad works Let me know if you need more help-I've had back problems my whole life with a handicap child

My aunt had a very big butt and we had to return the Medline chair we purchased because it wouldn't fit in the chair without her forcing it in. Then it was very difficult to get her up and out of it because her butt got smashed into the space between the seat and the side of the chair. She said she had pinch marks on her butt--I took her word for it. We found an Invacare wheelchair that was made for people with big butts and it worked fine. We called it the Kim Kardashian model---HA HA!

I use a small panty-liner pad in it. You may as well. I have only occasionally had an odor. When I do, I use white vinegar on it to kill any residual orders. Hope this helps in some way.....

I use Pampers sensitive. I did use the huggies at the beginning but I had the same problem. I've been refilling with papers wipes for 8 months now.

I bought this bed for my 92 year old mother. I can't explain it but bladders in the same area developed leaks. We had the mattress repaired twice and used a loaner and they alwasy developed a leak. The mattress is supposed ot be good for 300 pounds and Mom is 145. Isuspect she was pressing down with her hands to get up and the mattress underside made too much contact with the metal support system of the bed under the mattress. I ahev since gotten a foam mattress. They can't leak.

I understand that you don't need to. If it's too sore, I would do it anyway. It won't damage the pads.

My mom said it was hard and it hurt her bottom. but she finally got use to it..would not recommend according to her.

I don't believe the manufacturer agrees. However, My wife and I both sleep on our pads and have done so for four years. It gives us more pain relief than any other pad we have ever used. Go for it. You won't be disappointed.
