Top 10 Adult Incontinence Products that Can Help You and Your Parent

Does your parent’s incontinence starting to bother you? Are you feeling tired of cleaning after him or her but just can’t say it loud out of love and respect? Then it’s time to convince him to use adult incontinence products. These items might just be what you need to save your parent from humiliation and to preserve your sanity as well.

Yes, it might be difficult for your parent to accept the fact that he or she needs adult incontinence products. Try to explain that it would be better for both of you in the long run. He gets to take trips anywhere he wants, enjoy fun times with friends and relatives and do activities just like the old times without worrying about incontinence. On the other hand, you’ll get a lot of “me” time that you had to give up since the day he moved in with you and had to clean up after his leaking.

Show him the improvements that modern technology has done for adult incontinence products. No longer do these items look like baby diapers (that’s why adults hate to wear them). He can now choose from a wide variety of sizes, colors and thickness. There are also adult incontinence products that he can use to cover and protect chairs, beds and even auto seats.

How to know which products are best for your parent? We have compiled a list of adult incontinence products and their best features. Here they are:

1. Cloth adult diapers
   There are three types of cloth adult diapers that you can choose from: all in one, contour and flat fold. These adult incontinence products can be washed and reused, thus saving you a lot of cash from buying disposable diapers. They also promote green living as they wouldn’t add up to the trash in the environment. The downside, however, is that you’ll have to spend time and effort for washing and drying them.


2. Waterproof pants
   These can be used over cloth and disposable diapers for added protection especially at night. These are made from rubber, plastic or any material that can repel water or moisture. They are available as snap-ons, pull-ons or with Velcro snaps in different prints, designs and colors. One disadvantage is that plastics and moisture –resistant materials are not breathable and may cause rashes and discomfort for the user.


3. Furniture covers
   
   These are specifically created to protect recliners, throw pillows and beds. These are usually made from waterproof materials that can be washed and used repeatedly. With these covers in place, you won’t have to worry about your furniture getting damaged even if you parent has an “accident” due to laughing out loud at funny TV shows or chatting with friends.


4. Adult diapers for swimming
   Now your beloved parent can go swimming in his favorite resort without having to worry about soiling the pool. This diaper is lined with elastic material on the waist and legs, making it impossible for feces to escape from it. And yes, it’s required by any public pool.
   


5. Disposable diapers.
   These adult incontinence products are specifically designed for elders who have lost total control of their bladder or bowels. They have a smooth, cloth-like appearance on the outside while a cottony or fluffy material lines the inside. You can choose from pull-on or opened-flat depending on the needs and comfort of your parent. High quality disposables can be costly but you can buy them by bulk for huge discounts.


6. Pad and pants system
   This makes use of a pair of pants lined with a net-like material that is worn over a belt-less, tape-less pad. The pads are available in different sizes and thickness. This is not recommended for active people since it tends to bunch up or displaced due to the lack of adhesives.


7. Belted and belt-less underwear
   The belted ones can be used like any ordinary underwear. You just adjust the belt, and wear it as you would with ordinary underwear. The only difference is that they have elastics in the leg area. Belt-less underwear, as the name implies, doesn’t have a belt attached to it. It can be used as a pad for waterproof pants.


8. Male drip collector
   This product is designed for males that experience light dribbling incontinence. This is fitted on the penis and attached to a man’s undergarment.


9. Female incontinence pads
   These are used like sanitary napkins. These come with adhesive strips that can be attached to a woman’s undergarment. They come in different sizes and absorbencies that can take the lightest leaking to the heaviest overflow even at night.


10. Auto seat cover
    And yes, there are also protective covers for your auto seats so you don’t have to make frequent stopovers on restrooms or restaurants just to give your parent the chance to pee.

You can choose from any of these adult incontinence products to help your parent with his incontinence. They deserve it.
