The choice between washable and disposable incontinence products

Disposable products are convenient.

Purchased in quantity, they can be always available when needed and require no labor other than putting them on. Underwear and pads come in a wide range of sizes, waist extenders are available for some briefs, and they all are available in light, medium and heavy protection levels.

Washable/reusable products are economical.

Studies have shown that some washable pads are equivalent in cost to 100 disposable pads of the same absorbency. Washable underwear is available in basic styles, in styles that mimic regular underwear and in styles that are elegant and indistinguishable from fine lingerie. If you are caring for someone who needs many underwear or pad changes daily, the labor of washing these products is a factor to consider.
