Amazon is likely as good as any. There is no governmental assistance I am aware of for these supplies. You should definitely check out any food banks in your area as some do get incontinence supplies in periodically. Also call your local council on aging or Agency on Aging in your area for some pointers to low cost or free supplies. Wishing you best of luck as this is an enormous expense.
Medicare doesn't pay for disposable incontinence products in most cases.
I order my Mom's from Amazon.com
I've heard there are "Diaper Banks" where people donate new, unused senior incontinence briefs. You don't mention what state you live in, but you can do a browser or AI search to find any near you.
Orchid Did you mean to say your mother does not qualify for Medicaid? Medicare is insurance and the only circumstance where Medicare pays for disposable underwear and other medical supplies is when an insured is on hospice. Or is in the hospital or rehab. Well, that’s not entirely correct. Some Diabetic supplies are sometimes available. Home health services has supplies for wound care and that’s paid for through Medicare.
Many people order supplies from Amazon.
You might want to contact the Area Agency on Aging in your county and see what services and supplies you can find locally.
‘Others will hopefully post medical supplies resources.
