You'll find really good specialist advice on continence care on any of the major suppliers' websites - try Googling "continence care," and you should get a number of results to look through. Yes, of course they want to sell you products - ! - but they also want to sell you the *right* products, so they're very good at guiding you through the different factors to help you choose. As well as the absorbent pads and briefs themselves, they also carry wide ranges of skin cleansers, wipes, barrier creams and everything else; and many of them also have well-informed, well-researched, evidence-based sections on continence care as a specific discipline, so to speak.
