BD PureWick™ For Her

Before using the PureWick system, I had to wake up every 3–4 hours each night to change my employer’s diaper. She’s 101 years old with mild dementia, and once she was awake, it was difficult for her to fall back asleep. Neither of us was getting proper rest, and I was exhausted.

We started using the PureWick system about a year ago, and it’s made such a difference. My employer can now sleep comfortably through the night, and her vaginal infection which used to be quite severe when she was in diapers has improved significantly. I no longer have to wake up at night, and she stays dry from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Both of us are more well-rested, and I feel happier and less stressed. The system also saves me so much time and effort, allowing me to focus more on other household chores and on caring for her during the day. I’m truly grateful for the difference PureWick has made in both our lives.

My mum is 86 and has limited mobility after her hip surgery. For months, she was on adult diapers, but she often woke up feeling wet and uncomfortable, which made her anxious and irritable. I used to wake up two or three times each night to check on her, and it was really wearing me out.

A nurse at the hospital recommended the BD PureWick system, and it’s been such a relief. Mum stays dry through the night and sleeps better than she has in years. I can finally get a full night’s rest without worrying about leaks or rashes.It’s also much easier to maintain her hygiene now, and I’ve noticed her skin has healed and looks much healthier.

The system has really given both of us peace of mind, it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made.

I am a caregiver of a 78-year-old lady who suffered a stroke. She’s bedridden, and diaper changes used to be one of the toughest parts of my job. It took a lot of time and effort, especially during the night, and she often felt embarrassed whenever accidents happened.

After switching to the BD PureWick system, things have become so much easier for both of us. She feels cleaner and more comfortable, and I no longer have to struggle with lifting or turning her every few hours.

Her room smells fresher, and she’s much happier and more confident. It’s really made caregiving less stressful, I now have more energy to focus on her physiotherapy and meals instead of constant diaper changes.

My aunt is 94 and still lives at home with part-time caregivers. She’s alert and chatty, but her mobility is very limited, so managing toileting has always been tricky. Diapers were uncomfortable for her and she’d often complain about feeling sticky or warm, and sometimes she’d even refuse to wear them.

When her nurse suggested trying the PureWick system, we were a bit unsure at first. But after a week, she told us she finally felt ‘clean and free.’ It was such a relief to see her comfortable again.

Now, she naps and sleeps better, and the helpers say cleanup is much simpler. For our family, it’s also eased a lot of worry, we don’t have to rush over for emergency changes or skin issues anymore. It’s made caring for her feel more manageable and dignified.
