Continence care products help protect dignity, comfort and skin health at home — for the person managing continence and for anyone caring for them. This guide covers the main options we stock, from absorbent pull-up pants to bed pans and washable protection, so you can choose what fits your situation. If you'd like a discreet chat, our NZ team is happy to help.
Absorbent pants & pads
Adult pull-up pants are worn like normal underwear and are the everyday choice for light-to-moderate needs. Goldfern Comfort Adult Pull-Up Pants come as a pack of 14 or, for regular use, a carton of 10 packs which works out cheaper per pant.
Bed pans & slipper pans
For anyone who can't easily get to the bathroom, a bed pan or slipper pan is essential. We stock a standard Plaspro Bed Pan, the low-profile Plaspro Slipper Pan (easier to position), and the larger Super Slipper Pan. Consider a urinal bottle as well for night-time convenience.
Washable protection
Reusable protection saves money and waste over time. The iCare Full Absorbent Chair Protector shields a favourite chair or recliner and can be washed and reused, which suits long-term care at home.
How to choose
- Level of need — light, moderate or heavy determines absorbency and product type.
- Mobility — if getting to the toilet is difficult, add a bed pan, slipper pan or commode.
- Disposable vs washable — disposables are convenient; washable protectors cost less over time.
- Skin health — change regularly and keep skin clean and dry to prevent irritation.
- Buying in bulk — a carton lowers the per-pant cost for regular use.
Continence care FAQs
What's the difference between a bed pan and a slipper pan?
A slipper pan has a low, flat front that slides under the hips easily, so it's ideal when the person can't lift much. A standard bed pan is deeper. We stock both.
Are washable continence products worth it?
For long-term care, reusable options like the iCare Full Absorbent Chair Protector can work out cheaper than disposables over time and reduce waste.
Can I buy incontinence pants in bulk?
Yes — Goldfern pull-up pants come in a pack of 14 or a carton of 10 packs, which lowers the cost per pant for regular use.
