Adult Diaper Crisis
The need for adult diapers and other incontinence products is higher than ever before. As the global population ages, coupled with an increase in dementia and other physical disabilities, the necessity for adult diapers will continue to rise.
People are living longer and need products that help them stay healthy and live comfortably. Additionally, much of the stigma associated with the use of adult incontinence products has been decreased with targeted marketing and an improvement in the overall look and feel of the actual products.
SkyQuest Consulting Services reports that adult diaper sales are increasing by a margin of 10% year over year, with that number expected to go up substantially.* Like many other healthcare products and services, the cost of adult diapers can be prohibitive for many people in need. Some may view them as a luxury rather than a necessity which is patently false. More must be done to raise awareness about this issue and its effects on millions of people's health and well-being.
Quality of Life
Adult diapers improve quality of life. They offer peace of mind that a person can discreetly and comfortably engage in everyday activities without fearing urinary leaks that cause embarrassment and other problems.
Much like glasses and hearing aids, adult diapers offer a way for people to continue to live freely. If diapers are not easily attainable, it creates a cascading effect of negative outcomes. Independence is lost which may lead to depression and other mental health issues. Aging adults and those with special needs deserve to be taken care of with dignity, and an item as basic as a diaper can ensure that dignity is present.
What Can Be Done to Help?
The Covid-19 pandemic caused supply chain issues of the likes that have never been seen before. Infant and adult diaper shortages were evident during the shutdown. Affordability also became more problematic with costs rising and inflation settling in.
This cannot be a reason that people do not get the supplies they urgently need. Fortunately, some companies specialize in adult incontinence products that also offer savings, promotional discounts, and other benefits such as free shipping and delivery.
NorthShore Care Supply’s extensive catalog has a wide variety of products designed to make life more comfortable. Savings like this can mean a great deal for someone just trying to get by.
