Hello
Does anyone else here carry an “emergency” kit with them?
I take one everywhere – and I mean everywhere.
I don’t need it very often; especially since my UC has improved.
But it has become almost like a security blanket safely net to me and I feel anxious if I accidentally leave it behind.
I keep mine in a cos wet pack and carry it in my handbag, it consists of:
* One spare pair of knickers / underwear
* Incontinence pads / pants
* Wet wipes
The wet wipes are particularly handy because so many public toilets have run out of toilet paper.
I was using those original wet ones designed for picnics and babies but I was having terrible reactions and rashes from them. The chemicals and perfume used in them were giving me dermatitis.
And dermatitis rashes “down there” are most uncomfortable!
Since then I have found the most excellent brand which is free from nasties like sulphates, petrochemicals, parabens, caustics and artificial fragrances.
I include the information here just-in-case it helps anyone else:
http://www.wotnot.com.au
They are called natural organic biodegradable (baby) wipes, and the brand is called wotnot
I originally brought the plastic carry travel case container with wipes for $4.95. But now I use re-use the case and buy the refills packets instead at $2.95. This product has honestly changed my UC life for the better.
Hope this helps?
