Incontinence

What is reusable incontinence material?

It can be annoying, when you suffer from incontinence problems. Fortunately, there are many products that can help you with this. Incontinence products are products that are used for unwanted urine and faecal loss. Reusable incontinence material for young people and the elderly come in different shapes and sizes. There are incontinence pads, absorbent underwear, incontinence pants and diapers. Each product consists of the same base, namely an absorbent layer and a water-resistant layer. 

Advantages of reusable incontinence materials

Reusable incontinence material is made of bamboo, cotton or polyester, which improves wearing comfort because it is firmer and more comfortable on your skin than disposable incontinence material. Washable incontinence material is not only more comfortable, you also save a lot of waste and the burden on the environment is much lower. In addition, washable incontinence material is cheaper in the long run. The purchase is a one-off investment, but reusable incontinence material will last for years if used properly. Like clothing, they can often be washed hundreds of times. The reusable incontinence underwear for adults is visually indistinguishable from 'normal' underwear. The only difference is the slightly thicker piece that runs from front to back between the legs. The models are very similar to normal underwear and therefore very discreet. 

Different types of reusable incontinence material

We offer different types of washable incontinence material for adults, teenagers and children.

If you suffer from light incontinence, absorbent underwear can be the ideal solution. This underwear contains a number of absorbent layers of polyester, cotton and/or bamboo. In addition, a water-resistant layer of PUL has also been incorporated. The chance of leakage is therefore small. The underwear is available in various models for children, men and women. The underwear can also be used as extra security during menstruation or for children who have more difficulty toilet training. The underwear for adults is indistinguishable from 'normal' underwear.

Panty liners and larger pads are ideal for capturing small splashes of urine in case of light incontinence. The reusable incontinence pads are available in various sizes and thicknesses and are folded around the underwear. The panty liners and bandages in this category are also suitable for use as sanitary pads and maternity pads.

Reusable incontinence diapers are suitable for moderate to heavy urine leakage and for faecal incontinence (faecal leakage). Reusable diapers can be used both during the day and at night. Slip-on models are available, which you can put on and take off like pants, but there are also reusable incontinence pants with a closure at the top. 

Which incontinence material do I need? 

Which incontinence material you need depends on a number of factors, the most important factor being the degree of urine loss.

For people who have drops or splashes of urine, for example during sports or laughing, the products for light urine loss are a good match. Think of the reusable incontinence pads (for drops) or the absorbent underwear (for splashes).

In the case of significant urine loss or prolonged dripping, the incontinence pads with a higher absorption or the absorbent underwear can be used.

For heavy loss of urine and faeces, you can use the washable diapers for adults. There are different models and sizes available.

Other factors that can play a role are flexibility, preference for material and budget. These factors are described in all our incontinence products.
