Introduction: Comfort, Dignity, and Skin Protection Start Here
Incontinence isn’t just a physical challenge — it can affect emotional confidence and comfort, too. For those managing daily care, choosing the right wipe makes all the difference.
At Elbert Wipes , we believe hygiene should never come at the expense of skin health. That’s why our premium adult incontinence wipes are engineered to protect, soothe, and preserve your skin’s natural balance — offering peace of mind with every clean.
If you’ve ever felt irritation, stinging, or dryness after washing, you already know: not all wipes are the same. This guide explains the science behind skin-friendly incontinence care and shows how Elbert Wipes help you stay clean, protected, and confident.
Part 1: Why Incontinence Is Tough on Skin — and How Elbert Helps
Your skin is your first line of defense, but constant exposure to moisture and friction can lead to painful conditions like Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD) .
Here’s how incontinence affects your skin — and how Elbert Wipes counter each challenge:
1. Moisture Overload
Prolonged dampness softens and weakens the skin, making it prone to tearing.
Elbert Solution: Our wipes balance moisture and help dry the skin surface gently, reducing the risk of irritation.
2. Chemical Imbalance (pH Disruption)
Urine and stool raise the skin’s pH and break down its acid mantle.
Elbert Solution: Our formula is pH-balanced at 5.5 , restoring your skin’s natural barrier and reducing redness.
3. Friction and Physical Stress
Rough materials or aggressive wiping can tear fragile skin.
Elbert Solution: Soft, hydroentangled fabric cleans effectively with fewer passes, reducing friction and discomfort.
4. Microbial Growth
Warm, moist environments can promote bacteria and yeast.
Elbert Solution: Our cleansing ingredients remove residues and help keep skin fresh, clean, and balanced.

Part 4: Building a Complete Skin-Care Routine — The Elbert 3-Step Method
Incontinence care goes beyond wiping. Pair your wipes with the right protection and restoration steps for lasting comfort.
Step 1: Cleanse Gently
Use Elbert Wipes to cleanse front to back with a soft blotting motion.
Allow the area to air-dry or pat gently with a towel.
Step 2: Protect the Skin
Apply a thin layer of zinc oxide or dimethicone-based barrier cream.
These seal the skin against moisture and friction.
Step 3: Restore Breathability
Choose breathable, absorbent pads or briefs.
Change regularly to keep the skin dry and fresh.
Pro Tip: Treat cleansing time as self-care — a moment to protect, refresh, and renew your skin daily.
Part 5: Common Questions About Adult Incontinence Wipes
Can I use baby wipes instead?
