Extra soft flannels

pmlindyloo · 2014-02-27 20:46:18

My mother is 92 years old and is in a nursing home. She is very frail and has lost a lot of weight. Her skin is very fragile, almost wafer thin and bruises very easily. Can anyone recommend any very soft flannels or similar that the carers can use when they wash her? Grateful thanks.

My family uses these bamboo flannels which are soft and lightweight. I hate damp flannels drying in the bathroom all day and find these dry quicker. However I've not used them for the elderly so don't know if they're suitable.
