How to Buy Reusable Incontinence Underwear

An incontinence sufferer lacks the ability to hold urine until they can get to a toilet. Approximately, 13 million people in the United States suffer from the condition, including males, females, young and old. Buying reusable underwear specifically designed for incontinence is an option many sufferers explore. Use the following guidelines to help you buy the right product.

Instructions

1. Expect to find various types of reusable underwear for every age and style. Incontinence underwear doesn't have to be bulky anymore. You can even find this underwear in lace and types that resemble regular underwear.

2. Look for a product that contains the urine away from the skin. This is the most important factor to consider. Skin irritation and rash can result if urine comes in contact with the skin for too long.

3. Take into consideration the product's ability to control odor, the amount of urine loss the sufferer experiences (there are a variety of control levels), ease of use and durability.

4. Prepare to pay anywhere from $10 to $50 depending on the brand and type of undergarment you choose.
