Do you have one for your mom?

Juliegrace, if your question is for me...no, my mom passed away at the beginning of the pandemic. I didn't even know they're available outside of a hospital setting, so thanks to John for that.

My question was to John.

I do not have PureWick. I am using the the other one for my mother. She pees 3 times in the night and there is slightly more than 1/4 gallon of urine that gets collected in the container by the time she wakes up (she goes to bed at 10.00pm after peeing and wakes up at 7.30am). Also, she pees at least 7-8 times during the day.

The nurses in the hospital used a Purewick on my mom who had dementia. It was wonderful! I'll always think of it as a "Pee Wick" though, cause that's what I thought they were saying.... 😝
