Switching to buying incontinence items online - is it worth it?

Buying incontinence products online is, for many people, easier than going to a shop, but is it truly worth it? The answer is: yes, definitely. The combination of ease of purchase and big savings makes buying incontinence products online totally worth it.

There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to buying items online. If it’s not something you do often, you might be left thinking: are they fit for purpose? Are they actually as the product description says? Can I return items easily? Here we're going to break down everything for you to ensure that when it comes to bladder weakness and urinary incontinence, you know exactly where you stand.

Buying incontinence items online provides a whole heap of benefits:

• Online shopping gives you the freedom to research and purchase incontinence products at your own pace, without the need to visit a physical shop. This can be a bit of a lifesaver for people with mobility issues or who live in remote areas. Dedicated product pages offer a whole wealth of information that you simply can’t get at your local supermarket. This puts the power in your hands, so you can learn all about your new product and compare it to other, similar items. 
• There's a whole range of products and sizes of the best incontinence products in the UK online in comparison to supermarkets & pharmacies. Often, supermarkets will have a very limited selection and if you purchase items online they are less likely to run out of stock. It’s not uncommon to find only a couple of product lines on the high street, coupled with the fact they probably don’t carry every single size/absorbency combination and you’re looking at a weaker offering. Online retailers like ourselves have a huge range to choose from. There’s big brand names like TENA & Vivactive that sit side by side with every size and absorbency to choose from. Say goodbye to the days of sitting in traffic just to find the incontinence isle empty. You won’t need to settle for second best with all the top-tier items at your fingertips. 
• While incontinence really shouldn’t be taboo, it still is for some people. The world is really opening the conversation around urine leakage, helping people to feel more comfortable in their own skin. But, not everyone is a super-confident, taboo-busting extrovert. Some people just want to discreetly buy their incontinence pants and get on with their day. That’s totally fine. If you feel uncomfortable purchasing incontinence products in person, online shopping provides a discreet alternative. You can browse and purchase products from the privacy of your own home, avoiding any potential embarrassment associated with buying incontinence items in person.
• Online retailers are also more competitive in their pricing. Take Vivactive for example, their entire business ethos is built around offering premium quality products at the lowest price possible. Some of their products are up to 50% cheaper than you’d find on the high street, and you’ll only find them online. If that’s not enough, we even offer a subscribe & save option where our customers can save 10% on every single order. More savings mean more freed-up cash to do something you enjoy! 
• Buying from incontinence specialists means you get access to a customer service team that really knows their stuff about incontinence products. Do you think little Jimmy the shelf stacker at your local supermarket knows about absorbency levels? Probably not. Our team do. We live and breathe incontinence items!

When it comes to buying incontinence items on the internet, it's always worth going with a trusted provider. At Incontinent Choice, we provide a wide range of adult nappies and incontinence pads, disposable incontinence pads, as well as a variety of personal cleaning resources. When looking for the right type for you, there are a number of factors to consider:

• The right fit: Many of our Vivactive products come in a range of sizes to fit your personal needs so you can wear them properly and comfortably. We cater for people of all different body types, so you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.
• The right level of comfort for your needs: Many of our products provide super high absorbency with a range of different measurements to help manage leaks and maintain freshness, as well as anti-leak cuffs to reduce leakage. Most supermarkets and pharmacies simply don’t stock these hugely absorbent options, which means some people are left to settle for inferior items and pay more money for the privilege!
