Alternative to a diaper for a continent male

Male Urinary Drainage System

There are many reasons that caregivers might place a continent male in a diaper.  Usually, it is because they can not use a male urinal without spilling it.

A diaper should be used only for men who are incontinent (unable to control their urine flow), not for convenience or hygiene.  Diapers cause diaper rashes, and can lead to ulcers or sores as a result of the constant moisture exposed to the skin.  They require that a caregiver thoroughly clean the entire area covered by the diaper in order to remove any urine from the skin to prevent rashes, sores, and odors.  This is very time consuming and labor intensive.

If you are at the end of your rope and need an alternative to a urinal, try a MUDS or Male Urinary Drainage System before you place your loved one in a diaper.  It is a spill proof urinal that has been designed for men with handicaps or difficulty using a urinal.
