Hi there, I would appreciate feedback if anyone has used these type of products as I am thinking of getting some for my mother. I visit mum during the day to assit with going to the loo but often find she is wet through when I get there and needs a complete change. I have tried different liners but she will remove these and try and flush them away. She reluctantly wears disposable pants at nightime but takes them off during the night so would expect the same with trying this tatic during the day! So for daytime I wondered if the washable products might work becasue they look like ' normal' pants and would help her be more comfortable and less of a hassle all round although they are expensive!
Washable Incontinence Pants - Any Good?

I think the ones you get free from the nurse are to put pads in if you want fully washable pants I have read that these are good, and you can buy them without paying VAT if you have a illness,

Many thanks for your replies with this piph and Jeany123. The thread was useful to look at too. After all my research on this I feel as if I could be a contender on Mastermind with this as my specialist subject 
I will see if I can contact the continence service again - they never got back to me before ( some months ago!) to see what they can offer. The Age UK all in ones might be worth a try.
To compound matters I have to be away for a few weeks and therefore need the carers to to do an extra visit to try and encourage mum to the loo etc. Oh lawks I won't hear the last of it when I get back!
