The benefits


Better for the environment

Disposable incontinence products can contain up to 90% plastic – not just in the packaging but in the product itself as well. A single pad can take as long as 500 years to break down.

Reusable products can be used for up to 10 years, so making the switch can significantly reduce the amount of waste created too. 


Better for your health

Disposable incontinence products can contain chemical fragrances which can potentially lead to irritation.

Washable products contain no chemicals, so no skin reactions. They are also ‘rustle-free’ for a more discreet experience, and can be softer against delicate skin.


Better for your bank balance

You can save money by switching to reusables, compared to long-term use of disposable items. Apply for a 15% discount on these participating brands.
