Occupational exposure to chemicals may also lessen the sense of smell and certain medications can also affect the sense of smell.

Another thing that works well is to take a wipe before you get started and smell it, sometimes the perfumes on it will hide the smell for me. Also, the longer you let someone sit in urine the worse it smells, so changing them more often will def. help with that part. As for BM's theres not too much you can do other than change it as soon as you notice and try the vicks trick. Vicks works, as someone else has said.
