See if our frequently asked questions resolve your issue.
We agree, the choice of incontinence products can be quite bewildering! If you use our guide above, it will direct you to the range of products which are available for your needs. If you think you need more guidance and advice as to whether pants or pads, or disposables or washable might suit you better, you can drop us a line with your query, or give us a call. Arelle specialises in finding the right product for your needs – so a two way conversation is the best way to achieve this
It really will differ from person to person, but a rough guide is 6 – 8 pads in 24 hours. If you need to use more than this, you probably need to increase the absorbency of your product
Because you are unlikely to change your pad at night, a more absorbent pad can be really helpful. And you might think about using a bed pad as well, for extra confidence and security.
Stretch pants really help the pad or pants fit more comfortably and they also improve the performance of the pad or pull ups. If you improve the efficiency of the pad or pull ups, you will use fewer of them.
The current range of Arelle washable pants is best suited to people with light to moderate incontinence. The integral pad is stitched into the pants, feeling comfortable and (some people say) more dignified than wearing a disposable pad or pants, as it feels like you’re a wearing ‘normal’ underwear. And of course they are much more environmentally friendly than disposable products and in the long term, far more economical. They can be machine or handwashed – quality washable incontinence pants should have a lifespan of 100 washes.
