Even More Incontinence Products added to Ebay

I’ve just added a few more Products to the eBay site, and tweaked our name on there so that this can help you to find us.

Our eBay name is now “Bm_Care _and_Workwear” we used to be Libertyworkwear however this was started by our sister company many moons ago and it’s been a long time coming.

So at the moment I’ve listed a selection of bed pads (60 x 60 and 60 x 90) all absorbencies of the classic form shaped pad, some incontinence nets and some of the Indaslips All-in-Ones. Should be more than enough choice on there to choose from but also I’m hoping we can use the site to help refer a few customers to our own web store, to be honest the pads and things I’ve place on eBay are actual a lot cheaper on our store, and that’s only because of eBay’s listing fees and the commission that they take!!!

Just a quick update today but I should have a bit more of a product feature later in the week.

Incontinence Pads and other Products on Ebay

I thought it would be worth mentioning I’ve put a few of our best selling Incontinence Products on eBay today, generally we sell a lot of Work wear on there from our Sister company Liberty Work wear, as every business seems to have a spot on there I thought we better had too!

You can find our products by clicking the link in our links column on the left hand side of this page or if you’re looking for Pads that are a bit cheaper in price its probably best just to visit the Incontinence Internet shop

Incontinence Pad, Daiper, All In One, Bed Pad, Slip? AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!???

LOST?

Choosing the right incontinence pad can be quite a difficult thing, 9 out of 10 phone calls I take here at B&M Supplies tend to be customers looking for this type of help & advice, so I thought I would an Idea just to show a few different types here.

Now I must add at this point that a lot of this will come down to personal choice and here at B&M Supplies we can only advise you in what we feel would be best for your own situation, especially when cost can be a factor in choosing the right incontinence product for you, for example wearing a pad & net knickers can work out around £9.83 for packet of pads and 5 nets and an All-in-one diaper can work out at about £16.

So what’s the difference?

Incontinence Pads

Generally speaking an incontinence pad is very similar to a sanitary towel, it’s worn in a similar way but the sizes tend to be a bit bigger. The pad is built to absorb urine and depending on the user, they are available in a few different sizes and absorbency levels. The pad itself is kept securely in place by the user’s tight fitting underwear or more commonly with a pair of net knickers or net fixation pants. Men have a few specially designed incontinence products which tend to be a bit more suitable and work with the male anatomy to reduce leakage.

(See earlier blog on Indas Hombre Incontinence Pad for Men).

Rectangular and shaped Incontinence pads?

(Rectangular Pads)

(Anatomic Shaped Pad)

Some of the very first pads were rectangular in shape and as time has moved on we now have anatomic shaped pads, Rectangular incontinence pads are good economical choice however shaped pads tend to be a bit more reliable due to their shape and design. Pads are available in 5 sizes and absorbency levels, the more absorbent pads are for use with a patient with double incontinence.

Disposable Diaper /All-in-One

The best way to describe a disposable Diaper or an All-in One, as they are more commonly known, is to imagine an anatomic shaped pad that can be attached by tape around the hip area. Generally speaking this type of incontinence product is best for a bed wetter or more somebody with moderate incontinence, however there are hundreds of manufactures of this type of product, Attends & Tyco/Lille are a few that we supply but it is worth trying out a few different manufactures to find an All-in-One that fits your body shape.

Under garment Briefs /Pull-up /Slip on/ Protective Underwear

There are a few different designs of this kind of product, but the idea is that they are pretty close to wearing underwear. They’re easy to put on, disposable and a wearer can put them on without the help of a carer. They are not a cheap incontinence pad however due to the discreet design and ease of use the product offers, they are a popular product.

Disposable Bed Pad / Inco Sheet / Incontinence Sheet / Fluff Pulp Pad

Disposable Bed Pads or Inco sheets as the professionals tend to call them are similar to a blanket and generally in two sizes 60 x 60 or 60 x 90, they can be used to protect a mattress or chair/wheelchair from urine or moisture and are disposable.

Product Feature Nappies for Small Premature Babies

I mentioned earlier about libero's range of Diapers but they also make nappies for the smallest babies. These nappies are for weight 0-2kg

Premature have special leakage protection in the form of a leakage barrier at the front and the back.


As the very smallest babies drink breast milk or infant formula, our small diapers have a very special, soft, net-like surface layer which can cope with loose poos. This keeps the risk of leaks to a minimum and makes changing the diaper easier.

From the Mini size upwards our diapers have elastic waist bands. These are soft bands which give a flexible fit and also prevent leaks at the back and the front. The diaper is also narrower in the crotch, so that it doesn't get in the way as the baby gradually starts to move more.
All the sizes are extra soft and gentle in the navel area.


Nice to wear!

• No lotion
• Our approach to additives in diapers is simple: the fewer, the better. Our diapers don't contain any lotions or perfumes.



• Only air
  Instead our diapers are breathable. They allow air to pass through and the surface layer, together with the core, stays dry against the skin which is best for small babies' bottoms.



• Superb fit
  We also have the best fit. Our thin diapers are soft and there is nothing to rub or get in the way. Nothing should stop a baby from going off exploring!

Libero "Junior" Incontinence Pads for Larger Children

I’ve had a few phone calls of late, from parents who are at a bit of a loss when it comes to incontinence in larger children, there seems to be a magical size between a child size and small adult size that manufactures of incontinence products have missed.

I was first alerted to this problem when a lady from Newcastle had phoned me regarding her autistic son, she mentioned that he was fast approaching adulthood but was still too small for a lot of the smaller incontinence pads around on the market today.

One of the products I suggested was a Libero XL diaper; also known as an all-in-one or a slip, now I’ve only just stumbled across the libero range very recently and they seem to be quiet popular.
Libero’s range is essentially a 7 step programme that is designed to grow with your child from newborn to childhood, in fact when you go to http://www.libero.com/ they have a lot of relevant baby information such as a pregnancy guide, helpful advice and a diaper guide.



The sizes themselves start from 2kg and go right up to 30kg and are available as a pull up with elasticated waist band called “UP & GO “or as an all-In-one with tape fixings under the name of “COMFORT FIT” Liberos site describes the two products: "There are two types of Libero diapers: regular diapers that you close with a Velcro fastening at the sides and Up&Go pant diapers which look like little pairs of underpants. Pant diapers are easy to put on and take off and just as leak proof as a regular Libero diaper."
At the moment we only have the Libero XL “comfort fit” but we can generally get any of the other products if needed, you can view these at our on-line store or by giving us a call on 01704 553 773. We also have a dedicated page for other incontinence products for children including help for bedwetters and other incontinence management solutions on our site.
Heres some more info taken from our Incontinence web store:
Libero XL Plus or Step 7 in Liberos 7 step incontinence range is children’s Incontinence Pad that is comfortable and lotion free.
The pad itself uses libero's free flex technology for supreme comfort and contains 22 diapers per packet.
The Libero Children’s incontinence Diaper is for sizes between 15 - 30kg

• 15 - 30 kg
• XL Plus
• "Free flex"
• Lotion free

What are the main features of Libero diapers?
Libero diapers are leak proof and soft. There's nothing to irritate sensitive baby skin. They always feel dry; they're breathable and have a perfect fit, thanks to their unique elastic waist and leg bands and the fact that they're so thin. All these things help to keep the baby's skin soft and fresh without the need for lotions.

Southport Flowershow

Had a busy week here at B&M Supplies this week, even several months after this years flower show the shop seems to be busy with constant stream of people who said they saw us at the show and wanted to pop in and see us at the care centre.

We had a similar sort of response last year after the 2009 flower show but with no-where near the type of response we have had this year, not bad for our second show!



If you have not had chance to see Southport Flower show, its one of the major events here in sunny Southport and is a fast becoming one of the biggest draws for local tourism, they have all types of competitions for flower arranging, food halls and is a great day out for all members of the family and as I mentioned before as we were there last year it was nice to see a few friendly face from the year before, perhaps we might see you next year.

Here is the Southport flower show site. its based on Southports Victoria Park its not far from B&M Supplies HQ an extra reason to visit us when your at the show :)

Product Feature: Tyco Lille Protective Incontinence Undergarment

Tyco /Lille who recently changed the name of the company to Lil have had a large selection of incontinence products on the market for some time although sometimes these products are often hard to find as the company seems to change and rebrand quite a lot. So if your looking on line for this type of pad it may be worth searching for the following brands.

• Tyco
• Tyco Healthcare
• Tyco/lille
• Lille
• Ganmill
• Kendal Ganmill
• Lil 

Now this brings me on to the product itself, the supreme protective incontinence garment from Tyco Lille is an easy to fit & remove incontinence slip or Adult All-in-one which means that the user or wearer is able to look after them a lot more than with a conventional incontinence pad.

The extra absorbent core provides protection but this is more apparent around the areas where it is needed the most and this product really does the job, however where the pad comes into its own is in the fitting.

Now I know I’ve called this product an incontinence pad before , but to be honest it’s really an all-in-one product or slip ,as we like to call them, that works very similar to an incontinence pad secured with net pants and its really this type of fitting that brings the pad into its own.

The protective undergarment simply pulls into place saving valuable time. Not only easy to use fit - but also easy to remove - simple tear away sides ensure that the Lille Supreme Protective Undergarment really is designed to make life easier.

The Incontinence Slip is available in three sizes and can be found with the following SKU numbers:

• 0211 Medium Supreme Incontinence Slip


• 0311 Large Supreme Incontinence Slip


• 0411 X-Large Supreme Incontinence Slip
