Problems with urine leakage may require you to take extra care to keep your skin clean and dry. You may need to use a washcloth to clean and dry yourself. Products such as powders, moisturizers and deodorizing tablets are available that can help you feel clean and eliminate urine odor. You might also consider using a barrier cream, such as petroleum jelly or cocoa butter, to protect your skin from urine.

If you have functional incontinence, a home or bathroom renovation project may help. A good carpenter or home contractor can help you make changes to your house that will allow you to make it to the toilet more easily. These include adding a bathroom in a more convenient location, widening an existing bathroom doorway, installing an elevated toilet seat or simply adding a few well-placed lights. You may also benefit from a bedpan.
