Buyers Guide for Urinary Incontinence Products
October 1st, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as the involuntary release of urine. It’s way more common than you might think and no matter what your age, it is treatable or can be managed. The good thing is that it is not a serious health problem, but it can be embarrassing. UI occurs twice as often in women as men, and older women experience UI more often than younger.
If you’re looking for urinary incontinence products as a temporary fix – while waiting for surgery or other treatment – or you’re looking for a long-term option, Allegro has a wide variety of products to make you as comfortable and carefree as possible.
I’ve geared this Buyer’s Guide more towards women because of its prevalence, but we carry hundreds of products designed for male incontinence as well.
Caregivers of incontinent patients take note. You can do it the hard way, or the easy way. Let us help you find the easy way.
Urinary Incontinence Buyer’s Guide
Reusable Bedpads- Our top sellers. These machine washable and dryable bedpads are a super economical way to protect your bed AND your skin from moisture. They have a quilted cotton/polyester surface, absorbent inner layer and waterproof backing.
Disposable Bedpads – The Harmonie Disposable Underpads are the most popular because of their great value, but the Prevail Super Absorbent Underpads takes the prize for the highest rating. I guess you should try them both.

Washcloths - Favorites include the Prevail Soft Pack Washcloths and the Prevail Disposable Washcloths Jumbo Tub. They’re 12″ x 8″, super strong, amazingly soft and come in a single hand dispenser that produces an unfolded wipe every time. Alcohol-free. Contains aloe & lanolin to keep you nice and comfy.
