Ok, so I recently introduced myself in the general discussion area so I hope I am posting this in the right section. Feel free to move it if I have not. Like I mentioned in my introduction I am fairly new to dealing with incontinence and am basically looking for a tonne of helpful advise. From what others have said and from what little experience I have with this issue it sounds like my current protection of Pull-Ups needs be upgraded! So the next step is nappies (diapers) might as well call them what they are! only problem is the last time I used one I was probably around 3 years old! so basically I am needing some advise, suggestions etc. I have been looking at some brands and there are so many brands, types and absorbencies out there. Tena Slip, Molicare, Lille, ID seem to be the main brands carried by UK online suppliers. I guess I have some questions which hopefully some of you can perhaps answer. * Like I mentioned in my introduction I do sometimes make it to the toilet I admit not often, will wearing a nappy still allow me this freedom or will it pose problems. * Some products I have looked at say PE backing or Cloth backing which to go for? or does it not make a difference? * With a nappy should it be changed after each accident or is that wasting the product and money. With pull-ups I have been changing after each accident as they are pretty much maxed out at that point. * Is it best to go for a high absorbency nappy or a lower/medium absorbency. All the brands I have looked at come in at least three different absorbencies! * I am guessing a nappy is going to be significantly bulkier than a pull-up?
Sorry for all the questions but hopefully I will be able to get some good tips and advice.
