Getting the right size and absorbency
- Size by waist or hip: measure around the widest part of the hips and choose the size range that includes it. A product that is too big or too small is the most common cause of leaks.
- Absorbency: MoliCare uses drops (more drops = higher absorbency). Choose the lowest absorbency that stays dry between changes — overnight products usually need more.
- Skin care: change promptly when wet or soiled, cleanse with a no-rinse cleansing wipe, and protect the skin with a barrier cream.
Continence products may be funded through an NDIS plan, a Home Care Package or the Continence Aids Payment Scheme (CAPS), depending on eligibility. MEC is an NDIS registered provider and Approved Care Package provider — ask your plan manager or coordinator what applies to you, and contact our team for help with quotes and regular orders.
Incontinence FAQs
What is the difference between pull-up pants and slips?
Pull-up pants go on like underwear and suit people who can stand and change themselves. Slips (all-in-one briefs) open out and fasten with tabs, so they can be changed while lying down — often easier for carers and for heavier incontinence.
Are washable bed pads waterproof?
It depends on the pad. Conni bed pads have a waterproof backing, while some Kylie pads are non-waterproof and should be used with a separate waterproof drawsheet — check the product details.
