Hi, my friend's dd is 14 and still needs night time pull ups but is too big for shop bought. She had the continence nurse visit today but she couldn't help. Does anyone know of a good site online or a company that sells these?

TIA

I think your friend needs to apeak to the incontinence nurse or GP again.

I have worked in nursing homes and you can get adult pull up type pants and pads so I am not sure why they can't help?

I believe that the NHS will pay for these products for people on prescription and your friend might want to look into that because they are quite expensive.

Agree with WCL, the eneurisis service or bowel & bladder clinic or specialist HV or GP or, or, or!! should help! If he were an adult with wetting problems due to disability or illness etc there would be no question, grrrrr

thanks I'll tell her. Friend's dd is severely mentally disabled so you'd think the nurse would have helped? Looking at the girl I'd say she'd fit a small adult. Maybe it depends on funds available in certain areas?

sorry late to thread. dd is 12 nearly 13 and the pullup s she gets from the incontinece service are too big. so they do make ones for older teens. ALBENA is the make and they go up to adult size.
