Continence Care Garments for Older Children & Adults
Many adults, teenagers & older children are incontinent either day & night or just at night. Bedwetting is very common and rarely talked about, however it isn't seen as a medical issue until about 7 years old.
Up until recently, there hasn't been a lot of choice for older children & adults with regard to continence products, with disposable nappies being the only option available. Rashes and bedsores are common complaints, with itchiness being the commonest of all. Disposable nappies also fill up landfill at an alarming rate as well as being expensive for parents & health authorities alike.
Cloth nappy companies have come up with an alternative - Soft, comfortable, washable continence garments for any age and size and remember these wash & wash & wash, lasting several years. They pay for themselves in several months and will help to substantially reduce landfill.
A few companies have worked with a number of adults, who were frustrated by the lack of choice available. They have produced a range of continence care garments that will suit most requirements, but still offer a bespoke made to measure service for those clients who have the perfect garment in mind, but cannot find it.
