| The Caregiver Partnership takes the confusion out of choosing. |
I quickly became aware when I was diagnosed with incontinence one of the first decisions I needed to make was what kind of incontinence supplies I would need to help me manage my symptoms. And not only would I need to decide what type of incontinence products to use but what size I would need. Reading the labels was confusing. I was unsure as to how to choose what I needed without spending a lot of money on products that didn’t fit or I would end up not using. It was only after calling the nice ladies at The Caregiver Partnership I was able to get the information I needed to make the best choice in incontinence supplies for me.
What's the best product for me or my loved one?
It can be overwhelming to try and determine exactly what incontinence supplies you or the loved one in your care may need. There are more choices than ever before and they’re changing all the time. This creates more confusion. The Caregiver Partnership understands this and have created an easy to use style guide which explains all the style options that can help you determine what incontinence products are right for you or you can call and speak with one of their knowledgeable ladies.
The Fit Really Does Matter
Many people make the mistake of thinking the fit of their incontinence product really doesn’t matter. They just assume if they use any type or size of incontinence supplies then it will provide them with the protection they are looking for. This is a mistake. The reality is 80% of leaks occur in the rear buttocks area from an ill fitting incontinence product. In order to get the protection you want it is important to understand the fit needs to be precise. It is critical to keep the following three things in mind when determining the fit of your incontinence supplies-
- Wearing an incontinence product which is too small can cause serious skin damage. An adult diaper which is too small will rub against the skin. This can create unpleasant chafes on the waist or in the groin, and may lead to skin irritation. This is especially important to consider if the wearer is bedridden because skin irritation can turn into serious skin sores with potentially life threatening complications.
- Having too large of an incontinence product will not provide the right amount of protection. About 80% of all leaks occur at the rear buttocks are - usually caused by gaps in products which are too large. Most adult diapers will provide the highest level of protection by having a close fit to the body. If the incontinence product is too large there are gaps which make the wearer more susceptible to accidents and leakage. Many people assume it is better to go larger when choosing incontinence supplies. This is not true since an incontinence product which is too large will leak more, which not only risks the skin of the wearer but any furniture or bedding they come into contact with.
