Where to get incontinence supplies?

Bringing your husband to the toilet on a regular basis may reduce the accidents and the use of these products. Each time you can get him to use the toilet, is one less product use. Good ideas above. The food pantry near me has these products.

If the person who asked question can contact me, I have a supply of wipes and some very gently used bed pads I would be glad to send to her if it would be a small help since my husband has passed away.

I bought them for my husband at Kroger and Target. It may not have been the best price out there, but it was convenient and the price was better than having the assisted living facility supply "hospital grade" at what they claimed was a a good buy. When he went into hospice care, all supplies were paid for through Medicare.

Watch for sales, of course. Many times store brands (or name brands ,though they are more expensive to start) are BO/get one at 50 percent. Use a heavy pad inside a pull-up and only change what's wet. You can buy washable padded cotton pants (Wearever incontinence panties on Amazon 13.95 or, to save shipping, directly from the company) and use a heavy pad inside inside, again changing what's wet. You'll need several pairs, of course. Good luck!

I wish there was a reasonable supplier for these items. Even the ones supplied by medicaid are hardly worth the effort to put them on. If he is a heavy wetter, be sure to check out which briefs hold the most, and check to see if they are refastonable. So much to take into consideration. I spend an average of 150 dollars a month on suppliies and even that involves a ton of research--finding what is on sale, free shipping, etc.

For the mattress protection, I use "doggie training pads" under the sheets. Must wash sheets often but mattress is protected. Also, I buy the "diapers" ( I call them Jockey Shorts) at Sam's under their brand. Much better pricing ( about 1/2) than in drug stores, etc.

We buy them for my dad and it costs a small fortune. I will check online prices as suggested. Thanks. For the bedding, there are soft plastic covers which can be wiped, but it still goes under the sheet. We also have a mattress cover.

It really is hard, isn't it?

Would he qualify for Medicaid? They provide the supplies at no cost.

I was in a thrift store recently and saw such supplies for sale. Not a lot, but any savings helps. If you have thrift stores near you or on a frequent route, check them out often. I understand that food banks sometimes have these supplies, too.

Ordering in large quantities online can offer some savings. Others here who have done that will probably be along to suggest specific sources.
