There is no doubt that keeping goood personal hygiene after a stroke or Neurological Disorder takes more effort than it once did.

Some of the post stroke/Neurological Disorder effects that can affect bathing and hygiene include:

Cognitive impairment, fear around water or getting into the bathtub. Sensory issues including water hitting their skin being painful and heightened pain and sensitivity receptors.

If one part of the body no longer has feeling, help will be needed to clean parts they cannot reach.

Over time, things will become easier as they recover and find solutions to make bathing and hygiene an easier process.

This is where the Nilaqua range of towel off products come in handy. Post stroke just the action of getting into a shower or bath can be difficult and painful, thats before you’ve turned the water on and began to wash. The no rinse towel off formula allow you to wash anywhere, anytime in the comfort of a bed or chair, allowing you time to recover whilst keeping up your personal hygiene.
