Incontinence Aids
How to choose incontinence aids
Sub-type first
Choose Health Care for bin-and-go disposability, or Health & Beauty for washable comfort.
Material tradeoff
Weigh material: cotton towelling feels soft, plastic gives waterproofing.
Colour match
Select colour carefully, with beige or black for public wear, white for at-home custom pieces.
Allergy check
Note the latex axis if you require latex-free protection.
Fit options
Check custom sizing from Etsy - Tigheclothing when standard dimensions fail.
What's good
- Health Care disposables from brands like Tena, Always Discreet and Depend use plastic, nylon or polyester for quick, no-laundry cleanup.
- Health & Beauty reusable lines, including Etsy - Tigheclothing custom white pieces, come in cotton, bamboo and organic cotton for a softer feel.
- The colour axis runs from white and beige to black and multicolor, so you can pick a shade that hides under clothes.
- Material choice includes silicone or latex, giving options for those who react to common synthetics.
Things to watch
- Cotton towelling and bamboo items need washing, while plastic or clear plastic variants do not.
- Plastic and clear plastic backs can feel warmer than breathable organic cotton or cotton towelling.
- Custom white pieces from Etsy - Tigheclothing suit home use but skip the black, blue or pink colours some prefer.
- Latex-based aids exclude users with allergies, narrowing the field.
Care & maintenance
Wash reusables
Machine wash reusable cotton, bamboo and cotton towelling pieces before first use.
Wipe synthetics
Wipe silicone or clear plastic surfaces with a damp cloth after each change.
Check latex
Inspect latex components often for cracking or stiffness.
Store well
Keep folded aids in a dry, shaded drawer to protect materials.
