Comfort, cost, discretion and eco friendly
are several benefits of reusable
As the population ages more and more people are needing to
find ways to deal with their incontinence. Because there are so many
incontinence products to choose from many incontinence sufferers are choosing
to use disposable incontinence supplies. However, it is important not to
overlook the choice of using adult diapers that are washable. These cloth adult
diapers can be a great choice for many different reasons. Keep in mind that you
can purchase adult diapers in either cloth or disposable form from online sites
that allow you to choose from a variety of incontinence underwear. However,
before you make a choice it is important to consider several different reasons
why it can be beneficial to use adult diapers that are made from cloth.
Comfort-Many
people with incontinence report that adult diapers that are made from
cloth are far more comfortable then disposable adult diapers. Cloth adult
diapers are made from a wide variety of materials such as: terry cloth,
cotton, flannel, or even gauze. If you find that you have very sensitive
skin then using adult diapers made from cloth can be the right choice for
you. In addition, many types of cloth adult diapers have a high wicking
ability which means that they are designed to keep the moisture away from
the skin of the wearer which offers more protection and much higher level
of comfort. It is also important to keep in mind that adult diapers made
from cloth often remain in place much better then disposable adult diapers
which can disintegrate when they are wet.

Cost-At
first glance the price tag for cloth adult diapers is much higher then for
the disposable adult diaper. However, it is important to keep in mind that
this is an investment purchase which means it is a one time cost. Once you
buy adult cloth diapers you will not need to be constantly replacing them.
Many people who choose to use adult diapers made from cloth find that even
with the cost of laundering they are still spending far less (over time),
then if they were using disposable adult diapers.
Discretion-There
are actually two different types of discretion that can be found with
using adult diapers made from cloth. Today, most cloth adult diapers can
be bought online which leaves the person with incontinence being able to
shop from the comfort and privacy of their home and office. There is no
more need to have to shop publicly for your incontinence products. In
addition, once you have purchased your cloth adult diapers many people
find that they can wear them with a level of discretion that noisy and
bulky disposable adult diapers don’t provide. Many people with
incontinence find that if they need to additional protection they can wear
a disposable incontinence product under their cloth adult diaper and not
have to worry about noise or rustling as they walk or move around.
Ecological
responsibility-The bottom line is that any type of disposable incontinence
product is going to end up in a landfill. Just like baby diapers it can
take a long time for adult incontinence products to dissolve. There is
grave concern over the ecological ramifications of using disposable
incontinence products. If you are concerned about this issue you can help
out by purchasing and using cloth adult diapers if you need them as part
of your incontinence management strategy.
