Protecting your skin is key to healing and comfort—especially in warmer weather.

Summer brings sunshine, outdoor fun, and fresh air—but for individuals with sensitive skin, healing wounds, or incontinence-related skin concerns, the heat and humidity can introduce new challenges. Moisture, friction, sun exposure, and sweat can all contribute to irritation, delayed healing, or skin breakdown if not managed properly.

At Prism, we understand how important skin care is—whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or caring for someone you love. That’s why we’re here with tips and trusted products to help you protect and nourish your skin all summer long.

💡 Why Summer Requires Extra Skin Care
During the warmer months, skin is more vulnerable to:

Increased moisture from sweat and humidity

Friction from clothing, compression wear, or mobility devices

Sun exposure, which can irritate healing tissue or cause dryness

Heat rashes, chafing, and fungal infections, especially in skin folds

For patients with wounds, ostomies, catheters, or incontinence, maintaining healthy skin is not just about comfort—it’s essential for preventing infection and promoting healing.

🧴 5 Tips for Summer Skin Protection
1. Keep Skin Clean & Dry
Use gentle cleansers to wash the skin, and pat dry instead of rubbing. Pay extra attention to folds, creases, and moisture-prone areas.

2. Use Skin Barrier Creams Daily
Apply a barrier cream or ointment to protect skin from moisture, friction, and irritation—especially in areas affected by incontinence or wound dressings.

3. Choose Breathable Clothing
Opt for soft, lightweight fabrics that won’t trap heat or cause rubbing. Avoid tight waistbands or seams near sensitive areas.

4. Don’t Forget the Sunscreen
Use broad-spectrum SPF on exposed areas—but skip open wounds or irritated skin. Talk to your provider about safe options for healing skin.

5. Change Dressings as Directed
Hot weather may require more frequent dressing changes to keep skin cool, clean, and protected. Always follow your provider’s guidance.

Hydration matters more than you think—especially during the hottest months of the year.

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of dehydration—and for many patients, this can lead to more than just thirst. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from surgery, or supporting a loved one in their care journey, staying hydrated is essential for healing, comfort, and overall wellness.

At Prism, we’re committed to supporting whole-person health. This summer, we’re sharing key hydration tips and tools to help you or someone you care for stay safe and well in the heat.

🚰 Why Hydration Is So Important
Water plays a critical role in nearly every system in the body. It:

Supports wound healing by helping tissues regenerate

Promotes healthy bladder function and helps prevent urinary tract infections

Improves circulation and digestion

Helps manage swelling in conditions like lymphedema

Keeps skin supple, reducing the risk of breakdown or irritation

Affects medication absorption and temperature regulation

Older adults, people with chronic illness, and those using certain medications (like diuretics) are especially vulnerable to dehydration during the summer.

☀️ 6 Hydration Tips for Hot Weather
1. Sip All Day, Don’t Wait for Thirst
By the time you feel thirsty, you may already be mildly dehydrated. Keep a bottle with you and drink water regularly throughout the day.

2. Add Hydrating Foods
Fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and strawberries are full of water and make excellent snacks.

3. Be Mindful with Diuretics
Coffee, soda, and alcohol can pull water from your body. Limit these in extreme heat or increase water intake to compensate.

4. Track Intake If Needed
If you or your loved one struggles to stay hydrated, use a journal or hydration app to track daily fluid goals.

5. Use Electrolyte Boosters Safely
For those prone to excessive sweating or using compression garments, electrolyte-enhanced drinks (with low sugar) can support fluid balance—just check with your provider first.

6. Watch for Signs of Dehydration
Symptoms include dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and reduced urination. If any of these occur, increase fluid intake and rest in a cool area.

Hydration is more than a summer tip—it’s a year-round foundation for better health. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and let Prism help you feel your best.

July is UV Safety Month, a time to raise awareness about the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and to encourage healthy sun protection habits. While summer brings sunshine and warmth, it also brings increased exposure to UV rays that can lead to long-term skin damage, eye conditions, and heightened health risks—especially for individuals managing chronic wounds, sensitive skin, or post-surgical recovery.

At Prism, we believe in empowering patients and caregivers with the tools and knowledge they need to protect their health every season. Whether you’re healing, managing a condition, or supporting someone who is, sun safety is a critical part of care.

☀️ Why UV Protection Matters
UV rays from the sun (and artificial sources like tanning beds) can damage the skin in as little as 15 minutes. Prolonged or unprotected exposure can lead to:

Sunburn and skin irritation

Delayed wound healing or infection

Skin cancer

Eye damage such as cataracts

Increased sensitivity due to medications or medical treatments

For those using wound dressings, compression garments, or catheters, UV exposure can also affect the integrity of materials and increase the risk of skin breakdown.

🧴 6 Sun Safety Tips for Patients & Caregivers
1. Use Sunscreen Daily
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to exposed skin, even on cloudy days. Reapply every 2 hours, or more often if sweating or swimming.

2. Cover Sensitive Areas
Healing wounds, incision sites, and areas affected by skin conditions should be kept covered and shielded from direct sun. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics or approved dressings that protect without trapping heat.

3. Wear Protective Clothing & Sunglasses
Long sleeves, wide-brim hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses add an extra layer of protection. If you wear compression garments, avoid direct sun exposure as the fabric can trap heat.

4. Stay Hydrated
Sun exposure can lead to dehydration, which affects your body’s ability to heal. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

5. Time Your Outdoor Activities
UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When possible, plan outdoor activities for early morning or evening hours.

6. Watch for Skin Changes
If you notice new irritation, blistering, or changes in wound appearance after sun exposure, contact your healthcare provider. Early intervention is key.

Summer is a season filled with sunshine, travel plans, and outdoor fun—but for those managing urinary incontinence, it can also bring unique challenges. From higher temperatures to longer days away from home, staying comfortable and confident takes a bit of extra planning.

At Prism, we believe that managing incontinence shouldn’t limit your lifestyle. With the right products, education, and support, you can enjoy everything summer has to offer—without worry.

💧 Understanding Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is more common than many people realize, affecting both men and women of all ages. Whether it’s stress-related leaks, urgency, or overflow incontinence, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about—and it’s certainly not something you have to navigate alone.

☀️ Summer Tips for Managing Incontinence
1. Stay Hydrated (the Smart Way)
It may seem counterintuitive, but limiting fluids too much can actually make incontinence worse. Instead, sip water consistently throughout the day and limit bladder irritants like caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated beverages.

2. Choose Breathable, Comfortable Products
Look for moisture-wicking and discreet incontinence wear that provides both protection and comfort during warmer weather. Breathable materials can help reduce skin irritation caused by heat and humidity.

3. Be Prepared On-the-Go
Keep a small travel kit with a few extra incontinence pads, wipes, and a change of clothing when heading out for the day. This simple step can make outings feel more relaxed and worry-free.

4. Protect Your Skin
Frequent exposure to moisture can lead to skin irritation or breakdown. Using barrier creams and gentle cleansers can help maintain healthy skin and prevent discomfort.

5. Talk to Your Healthcare Provider
If your symptoms change or become more frequent, don’t hesitate to speak with your provider. There may be additional treatment options or therapies available to support your needs.

🛒 Products That Support You—Every Step of the Way
At One By Prism, you’ll find a range of incontinence care products that are discreet, effective, and designed for daily life. We offer:

June is National Men’s Health Month—Support Stronger Steps for Every Stage of Life

Whether you’re on your feet all day for work, managing a chronic condition like diabetes, or just starting to notice a bit more soreness and swelling than usual, foot health is something that deserves more attention than it often gets.

In honor of Men’s Health Month, we’re highlighting simple, practical ways to protect your foundation—because healthy feet support a healthier life.

At Prism, we’re here to help patients and providers stay one step ahead with trusted products, helpful education, and reliable support.

👣 Why Foot Health Matters
Your feet carry you through every step of your day—so when something’s off, the impact can be felt throughout your whole body. Poor foot health can lead to:

Swelling and discomfort

Poor circulation

Increased fall risk

Infection, skin breakdown, and mobility limitations

For individuals with diabetes, lymphedema, or circulatory concerns, proactive foot care is even more critical.

🦶 Top Foot Health Tips from the Experts
1. Prioritize Circulation
If you deal with swelling, tired legs, or prolonged sitting/standing, graduated compression socks can help improve blood flow, reduce fatigue, and support better daily comfort.

2. Inspect Feet Daily
Look for redness, cuts, blisters, or changes in color—especially if you have diabetes or neuropathy. Early detection of issues can prevent serious complications.

3. Keep Feet Clean and Moisturized
Wash and dry feet thoroughly every day, and apply a gentle moisturizing cream to prevent cracking or dryness (but avoid applying lotion between the toes).

4. Wear Proper Footwear
Supportive, breathable shoes that fit well can prevent pressure points and injury. If needed, talk to your provider about orthotic insoles or diabetic-friendly footwear.

5. Don’t Ignore Pain
Foot pain isn’t something to push through—it’s a sign that something may be off. If discomfort persists, consult your healthcare provider.

In recognition of Men’s Health Month & Father’s Day – June

June is Men’s Health Month—a time to raise awareness and empower men to take charge of their health. It’s also a month we celebrate fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and all the men in our lives who work hard and care deeply, often putting others before themselves.

At Prism, we’re here to support men’s health not just in June, but all year long. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or for someone you love this Father’s Day, now is the perfect time to prioritize wellness with practical tips and trusted over-the-counter (OTC) essentials.

🩺 5 Everyday Health Tips for Men
1. Don’t Skip Routine Checkups
Preventive care is key. Encourage the men in your life to stay up-to-date on physicals, screenings, and lab work. Early detection is one of the most powerful tools for managing long-term health.

2. Support Joint & Muscle Health
As we age, joint pain and muscle stiffness become more common—especially for active dads and those with labor-intensive jobs. Incorporating compression wear, joint support supplements, and pain relief creams can make a big difference in daily comfort and mobility.

3. Take Heart Health Seriously
Heart disease remains a leading cause of death among men. Small changes—like lowering sodium intake, staying active, and adding heart-healthy supplements—can help support cardiovascular wellness.

4. Address Bladder Health Head-On
Bladder and prostate issues are common but often under-discussed. Whether it’s mild incontinence or recovery after a procedure, discreet bladder support products can help men maintain dignity, confidence, and independence.

5. Get Better Sleep
Sleep is foundational to everything—energy, metabolism, mood, and immune health. If stress or discomfort are interfering with rest, look into OTC sleep aids, calming supplements, or nighttime pain relief options that can support deeper, more restorative sleep.

As temperatures rise and the days grow longer, many of us look forward to getting outside and enjoying the fresh air. But for those living with lymphedema, warmer weather can bring added challenges—like increased swelling, discomfort, and skin irritation.

At Prism, we understand the daily realities of lymphedema management, and we’re here to help you stay supported and comfortable all season long. With a little planning and the right tools, you can stay active and feel your best, even on the hottest days.

☀️ Why Warm Weather Can Worsen Lymphedema
Heat causes your blood vessels to expand, which can lead to more fluid collecting in the affected limbs. This may result in:

Increased swelling and heaviness

More discomfort or pain

Greater risk of skin breakdown or infection

But don’t worry—with the right care, you can keep symptoms under control while still enjoying the season.

💧 6 Warm Weather Tips for Managing Lymphedema
1. Stay Cool & Hydrated
Drink plenty of water and stay in air-conditioned spaces during the hottest parts of the day. Wear breathable, lightweight clothing to reduce overheating.

2. Keep Compression On (When Advised)
Compression garments help prevent fluid buildup, but they can be uncomfortable in the heat. Choose lightweight, moisture-wicking options designed for warmer climates, and talk to your healthcare provider if adjustments are needed.

3. Practice Good Skin Care
Warm weather can cause sweating and irritation. Clean and moisturize your skin daily to prevent infection, and watch for any signs of redness, rash, or dryness.

4. Avoid Heat Sources
Stay away from hot tubs, saunas, and sunbathing, which can increase swelling. Opt for cool showers or baths instead.

5. Elevate & Exercise
Gentle movement and elevation can encourage lymph flow. Low-impact activities like walking or swimming are great ways to stay active while supporting circulation.

6. Carry Essentials When Traveling
If you’re on the go, pack your compression garments, skin care products, and any medical supplies you regularly use—so you’re never caught unprepared.

As we move into May and spend more time outdoors, it’s common to experience minor scrapes, cuts, or post-surgical wounds that need proper attention. Whether you’re healing from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or caring for a loved one, wound care is an essential part of staying healthy and comfortable.

At One By Prism, we’re here to make wound care simpler, safer, and more effective—with expert-backed products and helpful guidance to support every step of the healing journey.

🩹 Why Proper Wound Care Matters
Good wound care does more than speed up healing—it helps prevent infections, reduces scarring, and supports skin integrity. Even small wounds can lead to bigger complications if not treated properly, especially for individuals with diabetes, poor circulation, or fragile skin.

🧼 5 Essential Wound Care Tips
1. Clean the Wound Gently
Use a sterile saline rinse or wound cleanser to wash away debris and bacteria. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or alcohol, which can damage healthy tissue.

2. Apply an Appropriate Dressing
Choose a dressing that keeps the wound moist but protected. Hydrocolloid and foam dressings are great for deeper wounds, while gauze and sterile bandages are ideal for minor cuts.

3. Change Dressings Regularly
Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions or change dressings when they become dirty or wet. Always wash your hands before and after changing a bandage.

4. Protect Surrounding Skin
Use barrier creams or silicone tape to protect the skin around the wound, especially if adhesives are used frequently.

5. Watch for Signs of Infection
Redness, swelling, pain, and discharge are signs a wound may be infected. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or don’t improve.

🛒 Trusted Wound Care Solutions from One By Prism
We carry a wide range of high-quality products to support your healing process, including:

✅ Antimicrobial dressings to prevent infection
✅ Foam and hydrocolloid dressings for moisture balance

May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to shine a light on an often overlooked—but incredibly important—aspect of wellness: bladder health.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from a procedure, or simply looking to take a more proactive role in your care, supporting your bladder health is essential to living comfortably and confidently.

🧠 Why Bladder Health Matters
Your bladder is a vital part of your urinary system, working constantly to store and release waste from the body. But when things go wrong—from incontinence to bladder infections or cancer—the impact on daily life can be significant.

According to the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, bladder cancer is the 6th most common cancer in the U.S., with men over 55 being the most affected. But bladder health concerns aren’t limited to cancer—many people struggle with bladder leaks, urgency, or frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially as they age.

🚻 Common Bladder Health Issues
Urinary incontinence (UI) – The loss of bladder control, often due to weakened pelvic muscles or nerve issues

Overactive bladder (OAB) – A frequent, sudden urge to urinate that may be difficult to control

UTIs – Infections that can irritate the bladder and cause pain or urgency

Bladder cancer – Often detected through early symptoms like blood in the urine or frequent urination

💛 How Prism Supports Bladder Health
At Prism, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality care—especially when it comes to something as personal as bladder health. That’s why we offer a wide range of discreet, effective, and reliable over-the-counter products to help you manage symptoms and improve quality of life:

✅ Incontinence supplies – Protective undergarments, pads, and discreet absorbent products
✅ Urological care essentials – Catheters, drainage bags, and hygiene supplies
✅ Skin barrier creams – Protect against irritation from leaks
✅ Bladder support supplements – Promote urinary tract health and function

Whether you’re caring for yourself or supporting a loved one, we’re here to make everyday care easier, more comfortable, and more empowering.

🌟 Small Steps for a Healthier Bladder
Stay hydrated (but limit caffeine and alcohol)

Maintain a healthy weight

Do pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels)

Don’t ignore the urge to go

Talk to your healthcare provider about any new or persistent symptoms
