If you have recently given birth to a newborn or are living with older or ill individuals, incontinence might no longer be unusual to you. For some, being unable to control urinary functions can be a source of embarrassment. The most common instances of incontinence would be while the person is asleep, leaving wet marks on mattresses.
Thankfully, there is a solution to this. With disposable bed liners, your family member or patient will be able to rest easy knowing that they will no longer do damage to your mattresses. These liners also give them the ability to travel more, allowing them to sit in the car or lounge in the hotel without fear of leakage. This is just one of the benefits of disposable liners. Not only are they useful for incontinence, but they are used for other reasons too. Still not convinced? Here is why every home needs a pack, or two, of disposable liners:
#1 Assures very easy clean up
For patients experiencing incontinence, it may be difficult to clean up urine stains on furniture and beds, requiring you to scrub and maybe even vacuum. Disposable bed pads or liners allow for easier clean up as they act as a catch tray for urine. Each liner has a waterproof bottom surface that is faced down on the bed or furniture and a white, cotton-padded top surface, which faces upward and acts like how a diaper would. Whenever your patient urinates on the liner, you can easily fold it up, chuck it in the bin, and replace it with a new one. It’s mess-free and easy to use.
#2 Can be utilized as a changing surface for your baby
If you are a new mom or dad, you’ve probably had your baby pee all over the mattress whilst being diaper changed. Bed liners are a great alternative to diaper changing mats as they are disposable and have a leak-proof bottom surface. These disposable liners are also useful when changing your baby in public washrooms as they are light and easy to pack and can be thrown immediately after use, compared to their cloth counterpart.
#3 Protects your furniture
Urine soils furniture and can leave stain marks and stench. If you have a family member dealing with incontinence, disposable bed liners protect your furniture. This allows you to keep your furniture longer as they are better maintained and need less repairs and replacement.
#4 Reduces feelings of shame and embarrassment
Many individuals who deal with incontinence deal with shame. Most find that peeing on their own or others furniture or bed leave them feeling embarrassed. A bed liner allows them to move around, sit, and lie anywhere without worry of damaging furniture and the likes.
#5 Great for monthly menstrual periods
These disposable bed liners are not just great for managing involuntary urination, and they are also great protection for beds and furniture against period stains. If you are a woman who deals with heavy periods that leak through whilst you are asleep or even sitting down, bed liners are great for you.
Final Word
Disposable bed liners allow individuals who are dealing with incontinence the ability to be both still and on-the-go without the worry of staining mattresses, beds, car chairs, and couches. They are easy to manage and clear out. Most importantly, they reduce the amount of shame related to incontinence...and even period stains.
