MUDS GUY

Why do we put a diaper on a continent male?   Usually, it is because they can not use a male urinal without spilling it.

Wearing a diaper can lead to depression, decreased self esteem, and decreased participation in self care and activities of daily living.  It is embarrassing and humiliating, whether young or old, and in older men progressively leads to lack of interest in their hygiene and appearance.

A diaper should be used only for men who are 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.
