Managing incontinence with dignity and independence

Incontinence can be a deeply emotional issue for people of all ages, but particularly for older people, who might find it difficult to talk about these problems. Feelings of embarrassment, shame and loss of self-esteem are not at all uncommon. At Arelle, we genuinely understand the sensitive nature of incontinence care – and we are here to advise on the best products to support you through these challenging times, ensuring you or your loved one can manage incontinence with dignity and independence.

We offer a wide range of incontinence products, including disposable pants and pads for convenience and discretion, as well as washable pants and bedding for those seeking eco-friendly options. Our products are designed with comfort and effectiveness in mind, ensuring that older people can manage their condition with confidence.

But more importantly, at Arelle, we believe it’s good to talk about incontinence. Whether that’s talking directly with us, a small team of professionals who have over 20 years of experience in the incontinence care industry, or discussions between caregivers, family members and those experiencing incontinence – honest, supportive, reassuring conversations will go a long way to helping an individual manage their incontinence.

And once incontinence is being better managed better, with reliable incontinence products, the overall quality of life instantly improves. Whether this applies to you or an elderly parent, you’ll know that with the right products, you feel more confident and comfortable; happier to go out more, to take part in hobbies and physical activities, to be sociable – all of which contribute significantly to maintaining a sense of well-being.

An Arelle customer, John, told us this story about his father, William:

“As Dad got older, I could see him retreating. He stopped doing the activities he used to enjoy, like bowls and chess club, he would make excuses when his friends invited him out for a cup of tea, and he would ask me to do his shopping, something he was more than capable of doing. Eventually, I discovered that incontinence was at the root of his anxiety.

Having taken Dad to see the doctor, I contacted Arelle for advice, and I was relieved they were so helpful – as I really didn’t know where to start! We got him the right incontinence products, which he now has delivered to his door on a regular basis, and slowly but surely I can see his confidence is returning, and is doing a lot more of the things that make him independent and happy.”

By recognising the emotional impact of incontinence and providing support, we can all help to make a real difference to those who are struggling. We hope that our personal advice and comprehensive range of incontinence products will help you or your loved ones manage incontinence with dignity and independence, resulting in a better quality of life.
