As the population grows older, the market for incontinence products is booming. Of course nobody wants to have to deal with this condition but the fact is the number of people who have developed it is skyrocketing. Along with the increased occurrence of incontinence comes the increased need for products to manage the problem. One of those products is washable incontinent pads and it's growing in popularity for a number of reasons.
But first let's just see what this product is. These pads are designed to work with incontinence pants. In the past that meant a garment that looked a lot like an adult diaper. Today, thanks to advances in fabric technology, pants and pads resemble normal underwear and offer superior absorbency. Using these products gives you all the protection you need to carry on your normal active lifestyle.
Manufacturers of these products today understand that their customers don't want bulky under clothing. Today, these products come in gender specific styles that have slim profiles that can be worn under almost any garment without being detected. Men have a choice of boxers or briefs and women can even get pants with a touch of lacy feminine fashion.
Typically these pads and pants come in both disposable and reusable models. The disposables offer the greatest convenience but the reusables offer a number of benefits as well.
For starters they are the least expensive way to manage your incontinence. Because they are washable they can be reused meaning there is no ongoing expense as there is with the disposable products. While they cost more initially they will quickly pay for themselves as compared to disposable models.
The second major benefit is important to those who are concerned with living a green lifestyle. Disposables obviously have to be disposed adding more stress on landfills. Washable incontinent pads and pants minimize the impact on the environment for those who suffer from the condition. Next time give these products a try and see if they fit into your lifestyle.
