Toughened by growing up through the Great
Depression, this is the generation that heeded the
call and saved the world in 1941–45. Then they
returned home to build a prosperous society. They
forthrightly addressed the nation’s biggest flaw (race
relations), and defeated Communism on their way
out the door.

Tips on Preventing Skin Breakdown:
• Change incontinence products as soon as soiling occurs to avoid excessive
skin wetness.
• Maintain the skin at its natural pH range (between 4 and 7) by using formulated
skin products designed for incontinence care.
• Use a barrier ointment, or diaper rash cream, to minimize direct contact with
urine and feces.
• Cleanse gently to avoid friction.
• Stay hydrated and eat well to maintain skin integrity.
• Specialized incontinence supplies that gently cleanse and protect the skin are
generally superior to soap and water. Maintaining healthy skin in spite of
incontinence is a goal that can be achieved!
