Incontinence Clothing
Does Buck and Buck have Incontinence Clothing?
Buck and Buck does have incontinence
clothing. The first thing to note is that all of our clothing is
able to withstand vigorous washing since we designed our clothing
initially for nursing
home customers. The person who has incontinency as a problem must
be able to have all of their clothing tolerate frequent washing. The
second thing regarding incontinence clothing is to ask why does the
problem of incontinence occur for the individual. If the elderly person
cannot unzip or unbutton a pair of pants quickly enough causing them to
have an elimination before they are ready, the problem is with the
garments. Buck and Buck solves this problem with our incontinence
clothing by replacing zippers or buttons with a VELCRO® brand fly closure or making
the waistband of stretchy elastic so that the pants can be pulled down
easily. We have these garments already available to you in our catalog.
If the person who is incontinent is confined to a wheelchair or bed, the best choice of our incontinent clothing line would be the
open back, side zip or cut away garments. The cut away garments should
only be used if the person cannot stand since the seat is cut out of the
garment making toileting and personal care easier. The side zip
incontinent clothing allows the person to make the transfer from chair
to toilet more easily therefore avoiding an urgency problem that may
lead to incontinence.
Please look through our catalog and choose the garments appropriate
to the problem. If you are unsure about something, just ask us.
