Balancing quality and cost in adult incontinence pants


How many times have the grandkids given you an extra big squeeze that resulted in an accident? Incontinence is a challenge faced by people of all ages and all walks of life, even so, it’s still a sensitive topic that people shy away from. But, it’s a reality that many of us face as we age; which means many of us will at some point need to find a great pair of incontinence pants. So, let’s talk about some incontinence pants that manage to find that sweet-spot, balancing both quality and affordability. 
 
First things first. You've come to the right place. We offer all of the top brands at considerably lower prices than many supermarkets and pharmacies. At the time of writing this, TENA Pro Skin pants are a whopping £1.20 per unit at boots, compared to the exact same product at 87p with Incontinence Choice. It's a no brainer.

Good quality incontinence items matter, a lot

When wearing disposable incontinence pants, adult nappies, pads and everything in between, we want to feel confident and secure in the knowledge that they’ll do their job and prevent leaks, whilst remaining discreet. 

Using adult incontinence pants can be a source of anxiety for many of us. We worry about leaks, odour, and the embarrassment that can come with accidents. But by choosing a high quality product, you can live your life to the full, knowing that you’re well prepared for whatever may come. 

Vivactive’s incontinence pants are a great choice if you’re looking to balance quality, comfort, absorbency, and cost. They’re far cheaper than what you’ll find in the supermarkets, often with superior products too. 

But, what’s a quality incontinence pant?

  • Absorbency levels are going to be one of the first things that bake your noodle when you pick up a pack of pants. There’s discreet, plus, super, and  maxi, all with their own levels of absorbency. If you check the pack, a good brand will use the ‘water drop’ system to illustrate the absorbency level of the pants within so you can make a more informed choice.
  • Speed of absorption is next on the list when you’re trying to find a quality incontinence pant. You’ll want a pant that absorbs liquid super quickly. The quicker the liquids are absorbed, the less time it’ll be sat against your skin and the quicker you can get on with your day. Vivactive pants feature advanced Triple Layer Lock technology to absorb liquid more than twice as fast as some other leading brands. 
  • Anti-leak cuffs will offer twice the protection against leaks. They fit closely to the shape of your body to keep you protected whether you’re sat, stood up or lying down.
  • Odour control technology works to actively neutralise odours as soon as liquid is absorbed, turning it into a gel. The last thing you need after an accident is unwanted odours; make sure you grab a pair that neutralises bad smells straight away.
  • Try to find a pair that fits like regular underwear, so you can enjoy your day in comfort. 
  • Dermatologically tested products that will be kind to your skin. Do you chafe? Pants made from breathable materials, free from chlorine or extra additives will help. 
  • Products that are easy to take off will remove a lot of the faff. Less stressing over the little things means you can get on with your day.

Are you paying too much for incontinence products?

As we age, many of us become more mindful of our expenses. It’s not always easy to support the family whilst adequately supporting yourself, which is why having incontinence solutions that deliver the goods but don’t break the bank can be an easy way to save money. 


A quality product is essential, but so is affordability. Finding a balance between the two at traditional supermarkets can be really difficult. The cheaper supermarket own brands are low price but low quality and the premium products are high quality but high price. So, where’s the low cost, high quality alternatives? Online.
