Waterproof Mattress Covers – UK Made and Sold

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Many people will not use the term “lifesavers” when referring to waterproof mattress covers, but anyone who suffers from incontinence will know the true value of a good mattress cover. There are many benefits to investing in waterproof mattress covers. UK statistics state that there are 1 to 3 million UK residents who suffer from incontinence, likely more due to the reluctance of many to discuss the issue.

Mattress covers come in a wide variety of shapes, materials and sizes. They may be designed to protect your mattress in the event of light incontinence, or they may be manufactured to handle heavy incontinence. They may be washable or disposable. You will need to consider your unique needs when purchasing waterproof mattress covers.

If you suffer from light, occasional incontinence, a disposable waterproof mattress pad may be sufficient for your needs. These mattress covers are designed to be placed under you while you sleep, and may cover only a portion of the mattress. They may be folded up and discreetly put away when no longer needed if they are not soiled. If you suffer from heavy incontinence you may want to use a full mattress cover, which will protect the entire mattress you are sleeping on. These mattress covers are generally washable and can be reused after washing.

Replacing a mattress can be an expensive proposition. For this reason, you will want to protect the life of your mattress if you suffer from incontinence. Once soiled, it can be difficult to clean a mattress and you may be left with unsightly stains. Many manufacturers recommend changing a mattress every 10 years, so you will want to keep your mattress fresh and clean for its lifetime. DryForLife carries a wide selection of waterproof mattress covers. UK manufactured and delivered right to your door, DryForLife waterproof mattress covers have you covered.

Incontinence Pads for Men

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Although women are affected by urinary incontinence more often than men, there are plenty of men coping with incontinence on a daily basis. Although anatomy differs between the sexes, both men and women need incontinence products that they can depend on. Incontinence pads for men are designed with men in mind, taking into account their unique needs.

Incontinence pads for men are not much different than those designed for women in terms of absorbency. They are generally made of the same materials. The major difference between incontinence pads for men and women is that incontinence pads for men are designed to absorb urine near the front of the pad, while female incontinence pads are designed to absorb urine in the middle and back of the pad.

For example, DryForLife’s Male Guards for Men are shaped pads with an adhesive backing to help them stay in place. They are designed to look and feel natural and are suitable for light urinary incontinence. Super Absorbent Stick-On Pads for Men provide extra absorbency. They are thicker for moderate incontinence and can be worn in most any pant discreetly.

Some men may prefer to wear incontinence pants with built-in pads. The advantage of these is that they are washable, which may be more economically feasible for some. They can be washed quite easily in the washing machine. These incontinence pads for men may not be suitable for heavy incontinence. Some incontinence pants are designed for use with disposable incontinence pads for men, and some may find the disposable option more appealing, albeit slightly more expensive.

Discreetness
Incontinent pads can be worn under virtually any type of clothing with no one the wiser. They can be worn with shorts, pants and dresses without leaving any tell-tale lines.

Disposability
Incontinent pads are small and therefore can be disposed of easily. Other bulkier products may be more difficult to dispose of.

Absorbency
Incontinent pads are every bit as absorbent as other incontinence products. They are designed to hold large amounts of fluid at their core.

Comfort
Incontinent pads are comfortable to wear. Some people prefer to wear pads with regular underwear instead of wearing incontinence pants. Incontinent pads are designed to fit your natural contours without a lot of bulkiness. Pads are designed for both women and men to absorb urine where it is most concentrated, at the front for men and in the middle and back for women.

Freedom
Incontinent pads can be easily and discreetly carried in a purse or bag, giving you the freedom to live your life as normally as possible without having to carry around bigger and bulkier incontinence products.

Choosing Incontinent Pants

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Incontinent pants are preferred by some people with incontinence for the simple reason that they function as normal underwear. The incontinence market has grown steadily, and the result has been a wider variety of incontinent pants to choose from.

Incontinence pads require regular changing due to their smaller size and lesser ability to absorb urine readily. Incontinence pants, on the other hand, may be worn for longer periods of time between changes. In addition, incontinence pads often require the addition of an incontinent pant worn over the pad to help keep the pad in place; therefore, some people prefer to wear incontinent pants only.
Incontinent pants come in a variety of styles and most are made to resemble normal underwear. When properly fitted, incontinence pants may fit more comfortably than a pad alone. Incontinence pants can be worn underneath virtually any type of clothing discreetly, and wearers appreciate the sense of security that incontinence pants provide, even for those who suffer from heavy incontinence.

For women, incontinence pants may be made out of a mesh material that helps to hold pads in place. Also available are cotton or polyester blend incontinence pants with built-in pads. These types of incontinence pants can be washed in the machine. Disposable incontinence pants are simply discarded when they become wet, and they are likely the most popular incontinence pants available due to their convenience and ease of use.

For men, incontinence pants come in the varieties described above: the disposable type or the pad-in-pant variety that can be washed and reused. Men will appreciate some of the newer styles of incontinence pants that are made to resemble boxer shorts or briefs. These incontinence pants look and feel like regular underwear and are generally the washable variety.

Whichever incontinent pant you choose, whether of the disposable or washable variety, you will want to ensure a good fit. Comfort is also important, as is price. If you are looking to save money the washable type of incontinent pants may be best for you. If your main concern is convenience, the disposable kind may be most suited to your lifestyle.
