How to choose
A few things worth checking before you buy.
Safety first. Moisture breaks skin down quickly. Check skin daily and change products promptly. Persistent incontinence needs a medical review, as many causes are treatable.
- Choose the right size and absorbency; a poor fit leaks and irritates.
- Pull-up pants suit mobile people; tape-style briefs suit bed-bound people.
- Underpads protect beds and chairs.
- Use gentle wipes and barrier cream to prevent skin damage.
- Change promptly and clean skin each time.
