Adult Incontinence Products…Why Purchase Online VS. Retail?

When it’s time to purchase disposable incontinence products, (adult briefs, 

diapers, pads, liners, wipes or bed pads) is it better to buy them in a store or 

online?

There are many good reasons to buy these products from an online store. Why?

First, most retail products sold in stores are made for adults with VERY LIGHT

INCONTINENCE . Many of the nationally advertised brands and the generic store

brands are not made for adults with moderate to heavy incontinence.

Most online sites specialize in brands that are made for hospitals and long term

care facilities and have a much higher content of polymer whereas store brands

are made for light incontinence and can be sold less expensively in the discount,

big box and drug store chains.

 WHAT IS POLYMER?

Polymer are little beads or flakes in the core of the diaper, protective underwear

or bed pad (or chux as they commonly called) that are like small sponges. The

higher the level of polymer in the product the more absorbent the adult brief,

diaper or pull-up!

Many online stores have access to the higher quality products. If you can take

the time to call them, they often can advise you on the best products to suit an

individual’s needs. Retail stores clerks or pharmacists rarely have the knowledge

and have not been trained to recommend appropriate incontinence products.

There has been a lot of growth and change in incontinence products. The

technology is considerably more sophisticated than most recall from the past. The

trend is towards increasing absorbency without the bulky, uncomfortable “adult

diapers” 5-10 years ago. The range of choices is also much broader. There are a

variety of options depending on the user’s needs and preferences.

Online sites may even offer free (or low cost) samples to try so consumers are not

stuck with open packages of products that simply don’t work for them!
