Urinals

We started using urinals after one of Steve’s hospital stays. The nurses showed us how to use it with Steve while he was in bed. We would eventually use it while he was in the wheelchair.

Description

The biggest issue for Steve was the edge around the opening. The typical urinals you find on Amazon have “sharp” edges and are very uncomfortable. Steve was even cut once or twice in his groin area which was very unpleasant. As a result, Sheila went searching for an alternative and found these blue urinals which have a smooth edge. If you are using urinals, we highly recommend these.
