A Simple Way to Preserve Dignity During Assisted Showering

A Simple Way to Preserve Dignity During Assisted Showering

When We Talk About Dignity, We Talk About Independence

When we think about dignity, we often picture independence — choosing what to wear, when to eat, how to spend our day.

But for many people who need help with showering, even these personal moments can become stressful and exposing.

Families, carers, and aged-care staff often tell us the same thing:
“It’s not the care that’s difficult — it’s how personal it feels.”

Both sides can feel awkward. The person receiving help may feel embarrassed, and the person providing it may worry about invading their privacy.

At Dignity Solutions, we wanted to find a way to make this moment easier for everyone.

🌿 Where the Idea Came From

The Dignity Wash Garment was born from real experiences — families and carers who wanted their loved ones to feel respected during assisted care.

They saw that even the smallest layer of coverage could change the whole experience — easing anxiety, helping people feel calmer, and restoring a sense of control.

So, we designed a garment that could be worn throughout the showering process.
Lightweight, quick-drying, and easy to use — it gives modest coverage while still allowing carers to provide proper hygiene support.

🤝 A Practical Tool for Carers and Professionals

If you’re a carer, support worker, or occupational therapist, you already know how important comfort and trust are during personal care.

Adding a garment like this can help:

• Reduce embarrassment or resistance during showering
• Support a calmer care routine
• Offer reassurance for family members
• Encourage cooperation in care facilities

Tip: Always ask if the person would like to wear the garment before beginning — that small question gives them back a sense of choice and control.

✨ Simple Idea. Powerful Impact.

We believe that every care routine should protect both privacy and dignity.
Whether at home, in residential care, or disability support, the Dignity Wash Garment helps make that possible.
