Disposable Wipes Make “Clean Up” Easier…Just Don’t Let Them Clog Your Pipes!

When you are dealing with incontinence issues, the right diaper, pull-up, pad or liner can help prevent messy and embarrassing leaks.  But whenever there is an "accident", a "clean-up" will be required to remove any waste, to clean the skin and to help prevent skin irritation or infection.

Pre-moistened, disposable wipes are the perfect solution to accomplish this task! 

Unfortunately, many folks who suffer from incontinence don't realize that there are better products available than the tiny "baby wipes" you find in your local store.  And just like you wouldn't use a "baby" diaper product for your incontinence, you don't have to use a "baby" wipe for an adult-sized clean-up!

A variety of quality, pre-moistened, disposable wipes are available that are soft yet strong, and come in larger sizes more appropriate for adult use.  Many contain cleansers that are gentle on the skin, are hypoallergenic, and often add other emollients like Vitamin E, Chamomile, and Aloe to help soothe irritated skin.

The biggest problem with many disposable wipes is that they are not designed to be flushed down the toilet; they are designed to be thrown in the trash.

So, whether you’re using them in our own home or in a multi-person facility, non-flushable wipes can cause big headaches if you or your staff is putting them in the toilet.

Due to their larger size and thicker consistency than toilet paper, disposable wipes can clog the toilet, potentially causing an overflow or, even worse, require an expensive plumber’s visit to remove the blockage. 

Another concern is that unlike toilet paper, which is designed to disintegrate and dissolve in the sewer or septic tank, the same features that make disposable wipes strong also prevent their breakdown once flushed.  This can cause problems with your own sewer system or septic tank over time, and also result in an expensive repair.

The good news is that there is a solution:  Flushable wipes.

Flushable wipes are designed to be flushed down the toilet and not cause the clogging, sewer or septic tank problems noted above.  They are still adult-sized, soft yet strong, and contain cleansers and emollients for good skin heath, so you don’t have to sacrifice product benefits just to make them flushable.
