This video shows you a way to do your own pressure sore dressing changes on your butt or bum. I figured it out because i was tired of the looks and exhales my family would make when i would ask them to change it for me and that I won't always have someone to help me. If you can reach the area that needs to be dressed with gauze or whatnot, then this method will work for you!!!  

PRO-TIP = butt dressings can peel off when sitting on a toilet. So when applying the tape, apply one side at a time and press your fingers on the wound to keep the dressing and skin in that spot. Then stretch the skin where you want to put the tape, then stick the tape to skin. you can put tape on the gauze and not let it touch your skin till it's stretched. 

This tip is crucial for everyone that has a wound on the butt and you need to dress it. Because if you do not stretch the skin and then sit on a toilet, the skin WILL be stretched from sitting on the toilet and the tape will peel off, exposing the wound.. This is bad because toilet water can splash into/onto the interior of the dressing or on the wound. Urine & feces is about one of the fastest ways to infect a wound. 

I know this will help people out big time!!!! 

P.s.
I didn't even try to make it 5 min exactly!!!! ha!
