Hi there. There is also a product called ScrubZZ that are excellent. They are disposable cloths that have a soap substance in them that get soapy when wet and don’t need to be rinsed off. Just dry and your good to go. I use them all the time for my hubby after a BM and on the days he doesn’t shower.

My husband may be further along with AD, but I make sure I’m in the bathroom when he’s finished a bm. Then, when he stands, I hand him wet wipes and have him wipe until he’s clean. I have a small plastic bag that I hold out like a trick-or- treater. HA! But seriously, do not flush, even if they say flushable. I always try to make a game of it. He hates to shower as well. They sell men’s wipes called Dude Wipes and AssWipes. Stay with it. I found it cuts down in shower needs and may even prevent some sort of infection.

Since every patient is different it makes it hard to know how much to push them. I just keep telling my husband that he stinks and he absolutely must take a shower. He is generally very kind to me but always, always resists taking a shower. I’ve wondered if he gets worse about this, if I should say he either showers or I will wash him down there myself and see what he chooses.
