Free Incontinence Pads

[RosettaT]

Can any use 2 boxes (60 in box) of unopened incontinence pads? they were delivered just before my OH passed away #. I also have loads of dry wipes if anyone can use them. It seems such a shame to throw them away if someone has to buy them.

If anyone lives in the triangle of RAF Waddington, Coningsby, Cranwell PM me.

Mods - hope this post in allowed.

Would a local day centre or care home take them? I had exactly the same situation and gave them to one of the dementia clubs that Mum attended. Don't think they were expecting 3 months' worth of them!

I’ve seen them in charity shops

I’ve also seen that the lorry loads for places like Ukraine also are very happy to take these - as they are not on many peoples radars but much needed

Thanks, Will look into what I can find locally.

When mum went into the nursing home they were not allowed to take her pads (we had just had a delivery of 2 boxes) . The district nurses took them for use with people at end of life but still at home.

I looked at this link and found a group near me collecting all sorts of incontinence stuff , catheter bags etc. What an absolutely brilliant idea. So much of this gets thrown away, particularly if someone dies. I now work in a pharmacy and will make sure that we "recycle" whenever we can. Thanks Nitram!
