Comfortable trip for the elderly

A friend used to teach me few survival Thai phrases when we’re still studying in Thailand. I found it amusing when she taught me, “Hông náhm yòo têe nai?” which means, “Where’s the toilet?” Now, I admit it surely helped me get around Thailand and I’ve used it many times during shopping and going places.

Aside from tourist information centers, the next important thing for travelers is the toilet (or WC in Europe). I know most of you would readily agree with me, right? I know somebody who would insist on visiting only those places where toilets abound. LOL.

During our recent Europe vacation, I’ve noticed that these WC’s are provided along public places but they’re not usually free (users are charged at about 1 Euro), and even some fast food joints and restaurants charge you for using their WC. Pocket parks along highways also provide WC’s (or sometimes not) and buses are usually equipped with toilet facilities at the rear.

Now what about those with incontinence problems especially the elderly where the destination involves having no available toilet facilities at all? Now if you don’t want to spoil the fun of touring around, using adult incontinence products is a good option. There are actually many types to choose from and these can even be purchased at online stores such as DHP Home Delivery before going on a trip. Aside from learning the local dialect to help find where the toilets are, health care travel products for the elderly surely help them prepare for a comfortable and fun trip ahead.
