Are the carers applying barrier cream before applying the pads?
That can cause leaks as it stops the pads absorbing properly

I Think so

I'd use the tumble dryer a bit more if it helps you stay on top of things

A dehumidifier makes a massive difference if you have an airer in the house.

Do you run out of washing line space? Extra rotary airer?

Extra spin on bedding and towels so they dry more quickly.

Also, I put the next load on as soon as one is finished.

Then fold the dry load and hang the wet load. The next load of washing is 20 minutes through already by the time you're done.

I have 4 washing lines (close and parallel). The I hang from the back to the front so the wettest load is always getting most sun. I also have two airers which I use if the weather is looking dodgy.

In the last house I had two massive rotary airers.

A person who is incontinent should not really be generating a great deal more laundry than anyone else unless their protection is not sufficient/changed often enough/fitting properly.

Does your washer have delay start? I do a lot over night so it’s ready to dry first thing in the morning
