Do you know what exam gloves are for? They are to protect your hands from body fluids and also to protect the person you are taking care of, in case you get a sore or cut. They are something that you shouldn’t skimp on. Doctors use them for a good reason, to protect everyone involved. So don’t feel as though you are diminishing the intimacy between yourself and the loved one for whom you are caring. It is important to use the correct incontinence care products.
