how to change your pants in a wheelchair

this is a video of me showing how i change my pants while in the wheelchair. i hope it helps somebody if they have never seen it done before. like anything you learn how to do in a chair it takes time and practice. when i first learned how to do it it was pretty difficult. but now its a piece of cake. so when i have to use the restroom i can pull my pants off and back on . that was the main reason for me wanting to learn how to do this.

pretty cool! But maybe for this demonstration you should have put on other underwear ;) - I like how you use your bones for support.

@MyBlackCrow what would you use instead of boxers lol. and i dont understand what you mean by bones =)

that's great. i envy u smaller guys who can do stuff like that. at 6'1 and 210 lbs. i don't have the mobility u guys do. it's hard enough for me to dress laying down in bed. i do have to change undies alot cuz of the dribbles. i wear a pad too to catch most of the dribbles from a spastic bladder. meds help it somewhat. i also lost the ability/strength to support my torso. i have to wear a harness around my chest when i drive otherwise when i hit my brakes my torso goes flying forward.

@cellphonevictim im 6'2" and after SCI i weigh about 115lbs i lost 20 to 25 lbs f muscle from my legs. and i have to change my undies regularly as well from "dribbles" i like the way u put it its allot nicer than saying leakage lol. i have oxybutynintoo help my bladder to not contract. but i find more often than not whenever i transfer i end up leaking. =(

You probably have to change them often, cause you can't feel the shit leave your anus.

[jimirockett2000]

@tmgrnfn1 hahahahahah. thats helarious. =) thats only happenned a couple times thank God. but its mostly often cause i pee my pants allot. =(

@jimirockett2000 I think they probably mean the way your pushed up onto your arms using the wheels for support? It's a brilliant video. I'm in a wheelchair too and this has really helped me. Thank you. XX

what did you mean by "that wasn't planned"?

[jimirockett2000]

@jessiealarose sorry i didnt reply to this earlier. i have 5 vertebrae in my back fused with rods as well and i bend at the waist to compensate and use my arm strength to support my torso whenever bending forward.
