Caring more doesn't have to cost more.

Achieving the best possible care

The most important part of good continence care for children is to ensure both their physical and emotional comfort and the key to this is dryness. Sitting on a damp product or waking to a damp mattress is not just physically uncomfortable, it can lead to skin irritations and can also heighten a child’s sense of embarrassment or shame leading to unnecessary anxiety.

In the end, the aim is to ensure that incontinence doesn’t interfere unnecessarily with the physical comfort or emotional confidence of the child in your care.

What to look for in incontinence care products?

• Protection with rapid absorption to draw urine away from the skin means no uncomfortable dampness or seep back.
• Products designed around your child’s individual physical and mental state increase comfort and reduce product usage.
• Less dampness means less risk of skin irritation – particularly if your child has to sit or lie down for long periods due to disability or injury.
• If your child needs to be changed in a lying position, products designed for this will reduce the strain and risk of injury to your back.
• Fewer leaks mean less risk of waking to and dealing with a damp mattress.
• Fewer leaks mean fewer night-time disturbances for you and your child.
• Fewer leaks mean fewer changes and less laundry.
• Fewer leaks reduce  the fear of embarrassment a child may have, particularly at school or at play.
• Less skin irritation reduces the need for additional skin medication.
• Finding the right absorbency and size for your child: you don’t necessarily need to go for the highest absorbency and you may need different products for day and night-time usage. Why not trial which absorbency is best for your child with a free sample?
