Looking for advice for trousers for my husband who has incontinence problems. His prefered style is jeans but, as he has become unaware of when he has become wet (despite incontinence pants), I am finding it hard to wash & dry them to keep up with him!
He is also overweight as he enjoys eating but doesn’t take any exercise which makes things more complicated. He also needs pockets for the wads of tissue he insists on keeping with him.
Any advice on brands that might suit would be appreciated.

Jogging bottoms with an elastic waist and pockets were my salvation. Only problem is they take a lot of drying in the winter.

Would he wear jogging bottoms? Something like these are quite smart, come in big sizes, easier to get on and off, aren't too expensive so you could have several pairs - and they have pockets

I have found that companies like Chums, Premier Man and Cotton Traders have trousers (including jeans) with elasticated waists. Most of them have pockets

We just recently purchased some elasticated waist Halfword men’s linen trousers, from a well known web site. They are quite thin and dry quickly. My oh gets on well with them.

There a bit more expensive but the walking trousers from Blacks or Mountain warehouse are really lightweight material that dries quickly. I always took them on holiday as you could dry them overnight on a towel rail

Gosh I wish I’d known all this when I needed the help. 👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Off to look at websites!

Joggers are not bad if you get thinner ones. My husband loves his joggers
We bought them firstly to wear after he had a shower but he wears them all the time now.

Joggers were a godsend for Mum when she became incontinent. Comfy, but also relatively easy for a carer to take off. I had some good, inexpensive ones from Tesco of all places

Asda are good as well. Supermarkets tend to be good and not too pricey. I've got them from sports direct as well
They have a website and are reasonable if you look for sale and cheaper sports labels usually own labels

I got joggers made of fleece- they dry so quickly.

My husband has the same issue and jeans were problematic as by the time he undid his belt and zip it was too late. I then bought him joggers and they are much easier for him to pull down. I got navy blue ones from M&S and it’s a good colour as they do look quite smart and don’t show up accidents so much. I bought him loads of them, he has about 10 pairs now, so he always has some clean ones available when some are in the wash. Of course other brands are available!

Primark Mens clothing currently stock jogger trousers in denim and other fabrics with gathered leg cuffs and with pockets. They seem to be pull up style as well. See https://www.primark.com/en-gb/c/men/clothing/joggers

Only problem with primary is they shrink and hard to find large sizes
