Hate to be the barer of bad news but those are trash. No leak guards and super thin. Typically find those in nursing homes and hospitals. May work if you are bed ridden and not mobile but for an active person they are garbage. I have some I keep around only if I need to fill an hour or two between changes.
Just wondering, have you talked to companies like Northshore or XP medical? I'm sure they are familiar with VA red tape and how to use them for payments. Just food for thought.

No I have not talked to either one but did mention XP medical to my local VA. While they acknowledged XP Medical. They are not allowed to do business with my local VA Medical Center as mentioned by our pharmacy. They were trying to tell me a bunch of technical BS and that even though other VA Medical Centers can use XP Medical, we can't. Similar to me never using the VA for a colonoscopy (use my wife's work insurance) because of problems they were having not properly cleaning their instruments. We always get the best care you know--just ask any politician. (sigh)
I found out the name of something else they are including--Sure Care pads?. Do you know what that is? I'm researching...
I will try and contact XP Medical directly in the new year.
Thanks for your response and giving me possible options.
