Specialist Products.   At the request of our customers, we are pleased to be able to offer a range of products to match specialist  requirements.   Incontinence is not confined to the elderly. Arizona Healthcare has specialised and is a market leader in washable protective underwear to ensure that our customers can live normal active lives, including going to work, without the worry or embarrassment of wet or stained clothing, or obvious signs of the use of protective pads.    A report written and published by Debra Evans, Information and Knowledge Manager for PromoCon, (http://www.continence-uk.com/essentials_2008/Continence_Essentials_2008_Managing_in_the_Workplace.pdf) highlights the difficulties and challenges facing people in the workplace, especially men. The report notes that the most common method of management was pads, despite other options such as sheaths and body-worn urinals. Noting the common use of pads, the report also contained the following statement "A number of respondents highlighted that pads were not discreet in certain work environments. This was a cause of anxiety for individuals such as engineers, plumbers, builders and electricians who regularly had to crawl, stretch or squat. There was a tendency for their shirts to come out of their trousers, revealing the top of the pad." The report published the following examples.    'When I was coming out of a customer's loft, the hatch caught on my shirt and lifted it revealing the top of my waterproof pants and pad to the chap holding the ladder.' (Architect)    'It is difficult to find pads to wear that are invisible at the back.' (International Sales Manager)    Whilst the report deals specifically with problems for men, working women of course face exactly the same problems, especially with lower-waisted skirts and trousers.    The report's author suggests that a possible solution is to use unisex body-vests, sometimes referred to as bodysuits, bodystocking or onesies in the USA.        Manufactured in the UK exclusively for us, the the Arizona unisex bodysuit has a secure nickel-free snap-crotch opening to facilitate the easy changing of pads, a wide crotch (not found on standard women's lingerie) and low-leg style bound with soft cotton elastic, to ensure full, secure and comfortable coverage of pads and waterproof pants even when seated, especially useful to wheelchair users. The Arizona bodysuit also provides additional support to a heavy wet pad and holds it close to the body to ensure that urine is directed into the pad effectively. The Arizona bodysuit also helps to hold pads in place whilst sleeping and reduces the unwanted removal of pads by some people suffering from mental illness. Like our soft vinyl pants, a suit also greatly reduces the sound of rustling from some plastic-backed all-in-one disposable pads.   When ordering, please note that we use a soft and comfortable 92% Cotton, 8% Lycra stretch fabric to provide a close-fitting garment for supporting and holding pads securely. As cotton may shrink when washed, we recommend that you consider allowing 8% for shrinkage. The measurements shown below are unstretched and the garment will provide approximately 10% of additional stretch beyond these measurements. The hip is generously shaped to allow for wearing over our terry pants and large disposable pads (diapers) etc, but please check your hip measurement whilst wearing your protection. Please consider these points carefully when selecting your size, as stretch garments can not be exchanged.   BDYS: Bodysuit Small. Chest / Bust 32 inches Waist 30 inches Hip 36 Inches. N.B.
