How to afford them?

JoAnn29 Jul 19, 2023
Check with your local Hospice/in home service. They may have donations from clients. Buying at Big Box Whses may cut the cost down. I liked Walgreens Serenity brand. They were bigger in the tummy area for Mom. They had coupons every so often but I tried to buy them at "buy one get the other 59% off".

Look for a medical equipment bank near you. Ours also accepts donated incontinence items and gives them away for free.

HOW TO AFFORD PULL-UPS
MsLavenderBear Jul 18, 2023
Shirley, give your local Area On Aging Agency a call. They may be able to help you. We were able to get on an income related program that paid for all of Mom's incontinence supplies, without her being on Medicaid. It just took a phone call & they hooked us up with a Social Worker who helped us.

Her Medicare Advantage plan also had some credit each month to buy OTC supplies, including pull-ups. Check with her insurance, too.

I know, they're so very expensive. We had tried Thrift Shops because so many bags are donated when people pass away. But, you never knew if they were going to have them.
