Incontinence Pants For Men...

[CraigC]

Hi Milly,

not sure if you have heard of a site www.bigtreemurphy.com, but there is a very detailed section on advice for incontinence. The site is very humbling and full of empathy for the practical issues that face a carer.

http://www.bigtreemurphy.com/Incon.Pads.htm#Basic tips

The above site has nothing to do with the alzheimer's society, but I think it provides a lot of useful practical advice based on experience. It would be unfair to quote some of the gems on the site, so I have provided a link instead.

Nada gave the details of a couple of uk charities/companies that provide specialist help / advice - I've contacted them both in the past and they've been very helpful.

Kindest Regards
Craig

Thanks Craig..will take a look

Yes hun they are the stretchy stockinette ones from what I have seen ...to be honest, I don't think they are going to work for Dad either......to think you get them free with pads in your area but in our stingy area we have to pay for them... it makes me sooo mad

Thank you for that, Craig. What a brilliant site!

Thank you for that, Craig. What a brilliant site!

Absolutely! We are not at that stage yet with my Dad (just the one accident whilst shopping which was bad enough but was mostly my fault for not thinking about time, and has made me more aware, reminding him etc) but I am sure the day will come.

Just had a brief look at the site, but seems to be good advice written in plain English without embarrassment. Will keep for future reference. Thanks Craig.
