Lil, I have the same type of stuff for my legs (probably a different brand as I'm in Europe), because a washcloth hurts. It's a lotion that washes the skin without rinsing and it smells heavenly. They used it for my grandma (who couldn't get out of bed anymore). Luckily I don't sweat like crazy, but the RSD limbs are hard to get washed properly and frequently (pressure on the legs while rubbing the washcloth is awful). I have help with that kind of stuff so the easier it is to do, the better. It hurts far less to put a lotion on than it does to rub a cloth back and forth. Unfortunately, it needs to happen that way too, and regularly (but not that much thanks to the lotion). You can't not wash. I've always been proud of myself and I cannot let that go if it kills me.
