Adult Diapers and All-in-Ones from Lille heathcare


Supreme Fit All In One Diapers

These used to be called "LILLE* Supreme Fit & Classic Fit All in ones" but after a rehaul in the marketing department these are now called Lilfit All-in Ones.

These products are designed to meet the needs of heavy to severe double incontinence and do a pretty good job at doing so.
All products combine a high level of absorbency and protection, are soft and comfortable making the user not only feel drier but comfortable and secure.
LilFit pads feature:
  • Durable, discreet non-rustle polyethylene baking
  • Have a special double pad acquisition layer-maximising absorbency where it is most needed in the central area
  • Have hydrophobic leg barriers and leg elastics ensuring total protection against leakage
  • Have a time/wetness indicator strip which changes colour when the pad is wet instead of “saturated” (The strip changes colour before the saturation)
  • Contain super absorbent – maximising absorbency and odour neutralisation
  • absorbency levels for daytime use trough to total night time protection
  • 4 levels of absorbency (regular +, Extra+, Super + and Maxi) plus NEW 2 levels (Extra + and Maxi) of textile backed diapers.

Easy identification
A mistake in the choice of the protection is often costly. There is no risk of confusion with these Adult Daipers as they are clearly identified through the colour coded back sheet.

Incontinence Products
Buying Incontinence products can be a bit of a trauma if you're new to it; there are many different types' of product, manufacturer and sizes to contend with. Thankfully the site contains a downloadable buying guide specifically for incontinence products and outlines the right product to suit individual needs.
Buying incontinence pads online is a more relaxed way of doing things, it can be rather embarrassing to explain to a shop assistant your condition in a busy shop, so you can see that a lot of people have favoured the internet as a great way to research and buy these products discreetly, the company even ship using unmarked packaging.

Disposable Examination Gloves
One of the main consumables of the care sector is disposable gloves; B&M Supplies have chosen to stick to their guns by supplying high, medical grade gloves at some of the lowest prices available. Many companies tend to sacrifice this quality for a more competitive price but feedback from customers has allowed the company to learn that the care sector would prefer to have a dependable product and pay a little more for the right product.
All gloves are available Powdered or Powder Free in small, medium, large and extra large and can be purchased direct from the online care store.
Their current range includes:
  • Vinyl Examination Gloves

Hoists come in all shapes and sizes and the main differences in these products tend to be the amount the unit can lift.
The range includes:
  • Bariatric Hoists
  • Folding Patient Hoists

Night Time Incontinence Products

For the past couple of years I've worked selling nursing home products and care items in the North West of England, over 4 years ago the company decided to sell direct to the general public and I have to admit that I have quite enjoyed it, don't get me wrong there are moments when I question the career I have chosen but the best part of the job is being able to help out and solve problems for people who genuine need help.

Night Time Incontinence
I have had a few queries regarding night time urinary incontinence, ranging from teens with occasion problems to adult incontinence issues. The causes can stress related to health issues however there are a few products that can help in a number of ways. Its worth noting that the products I'm mentioning here are recommended by a good cross sections of our customers and finding the right product involves a bit or trail and error so don't be disillusioned if you some of these do't work for you.

  Bed pads

Disposable bed protectors are a good way to protect a mattress and act as an absorbent barrier. The best way to think of these items is as a really absorbent flat incontinence pad that sits on the bed at waist height and draws moisture in

 Traditional Incontinence pads
 These are usually worn with stretch nets, people who wear incontinence pads in the day will use these items during the night however it's worth using a more absorbent pad during the night as the pad won't be changed as frequently during the night. Night pads are usually indicated b y colour however this can change between manufacturers however you can usually spot them in purple or green packaging.

 Pull ups
 Some pull-ups are great for night time incontinence; I recently had a call from a father whose son was suffering particularly badly mainly through stress and he was due to sleep over at a friend's. His request was to have a product similar to incontinence pads that would be discreet and absorbent, after a bit of searching we were able to recommend a pull up from Libero. These products are tight fitting and are printed to look like normal underwear. We gave a sample of these try before hand and managed to solve the problem. These items tend to be our most popular for night time issues based on our experiences, we are always keen to here different options etc so keep in touch and let us know your experiences.

5 Frequently Asked Questions when buying Incontinence Products



Q  What is the difference between night time and day time incontinence products?
A - Day time incontinence products tend to be blue or light in colour packets while night time products are in a purple, green or darker colour to indicate the difference in products but really the night time Incontinence products tend to be more absorbent to allow less frequent changing.
You can find all types of day and night incontinence products when shopping for pads, nappies and pull-ups.

Q  How can I tell absorbency of incontinence products?
A - This can differ between manufacturers as some will indicate an absorbency level in ML were as some adopt a tear drop system, when choosing incontinence pads there may be some trial and error when finding the right one for you. Some sites will offer free samples of Incontinence pads as well as help and advice, don’t be shy we've heard it all.

Q - How often should I change a disposable pad?
A - A disposable pad, once wet can be kept on for about 4 hours. With a bed patient, pads have a wetness indicator that will tell the amount of liquid absorbed. Change as needed.

Q - What do you recommend for really heavy incontinence?
A - Two types of pad. DisposableShaped Pads with leg barriers to prevent leakage. Also A diaper with high absorbency and leg barriers. This is like an adult nappy. It has velcro style tabs for easy putting on and taking off and holding the pad very securely in place. The pad always feels dry and has built in de-odouriser for freshness. This is the ultimate in protection. For really heavy incontinence it may be worth issuing a small pad as well as a diaper, these are known as booster pads.

Q What size is best for me?
A - As a guide manufactures will often stick to small, medium, large and x-Large, however this can differ slightly, to help we have size chart that will assist you in choosing the right product. Currently we only have sizes for Attends, Indas and Lille products however I will look to incorporate further manufactures as we go.

How do I claim back vat paid on a mobility product?

How do I claim back vat paid on a mobility product?

One of the common questions we are asked is “How do i claim back vat paid on a mobility product?”
For those living within the European Union you may already be familiar with paying VAT for items however one thing you may not be aware of is that some products are VAT exempt and people may be eligible to pay for products with VAT relief or claim the VAT back.
Not everything is eligible for VAT relief however as a rule disabled or infirm individuals are able to buy items that have been specifically designed for the disabled or have been adapted for a disabled person.
Examples of products that qualify for VAT exemption are:
  • Walking aids
  • Mobility Scooters
  • Patient Hoists
  • Air Mattresses for Pressure Relief
  • Profiling Beds
There are also a number of services that qualify for VAT exemption including repair or maintenance to the products above and any alterations within building that feature adoptions for disabled people.
How to claim...
Most web stores tend you have a VAT relief declaration form that is required to be filled in before ordering allowing goods to be purchase excluding vat and this also means that you don’t have to claim this back from the government.
If you are thinking of ordering goods and need a bit of advice on how to purchase excluding VAT please feel free to call us today on 01704 553 773 and we will be happy offer you guidance.
