Top Tips

When you are incontinent it is important to use a good quality waterproof mattress protector under your sheet, the larger the better.

If you have bladder leakage at night you can protect your bed with a waterproof mattress protector and washable underpads. Your duvet and pillow can be placed in pvc fitted covers that are undetectable when the fabric outer covers are added. Your bed and duvet will remain clean and dry leaving just the sheet and outer cover to wash.

Sometime even the best pads or waterproof pants will leak around the leg bands. Prolonged sitting can lead to dampness leaking at the back of the legs which you may not be aware of until you stand up. You can protect furniture with washable underpads in a range of attractive designs.

Washable underpads are a must. Worth shopping around especially if you prefer white. Try double size lengthwise on the bed. Not only absorbs more and stops liquid creeping off edge but also holds pad in place by additional body contact.

If you leak urine in your sleep it makes sense to use a waterproof mattress protector just in case bodyworn products leak – fleece covering on the upper side looks and feels normal

Disposable underpads can be used under the sheets for extra protection at night

If you are a restless sleeper or sleep on your side, use a washable underpad and/or waterproof mattress protector in case body-worn disposable pads are insufficient.

An absorbent bath mat with a rubber backing can be useful as a makeshift washable underpad

If you do not soil the bed for several nights, disposable underpads can be reused for about one week before they become too creased and “manky”.
