A word about Adult Briefs and Fashion

Although we tend to think that everything in life should be under our control, it seems that life teaches us differently and sometimes we have to learn to adapt.

For example, as people age and medical conditions cause difficulties in controlling the bladder, the use of adult briefs is often required.


Japan had an interesting take on adult briefs with a Diaper Fashion Show that challenged famous designers to create unique adult briefs and raise the awareness in the country with the most rapidly aging society.

The organizer of the show said that “Diapers are something that people don't want to look at, but if you make them attractive, then people can learn about them more easily.”

If you need more information or a word of advice, contact United Medical, a competitive national medical supply distributor with an extensive line of top-quality adult briefs and thousands of other healthcare products.

Diabetes test strips and living with diabetes


Living with diabetes isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible as well. It takes a lot of discipline and knowledge but most people quickly adjust to the new life style, especially because of new Glucose monitoring devices that make life so much easier. It’s really not a big issue to stay on top of your blood sugar level anymore without having to go to the doctor for a special check-up.

Diabetes test strips, for example, are really easy to use. These are small, disposable strips of plastic and when placed into a special meter they accurately read your blood glucose levels.

There are more than 25 glucose readers available and the test strip market is huge. The research and development of the test strips can make test strips to be a bit on the pricey side, but there are many manufacturers to choose from and different, affordable price levels.

United Medical launches a line of OSTOMY Products

The term Ostomy refers to a surgically created opening in a patient’s body, aiding in the discharge of body wastes and providing an alternate way for waste to leave the body. The opening, a Stoma, is a part of the patient’s intestine that has been brought out to the skin surface and can be temporary or permanent . There are many ostomy products on the market, designed to help patient’s with stoma live normal, healthy lives.

ConvaTec, for example, is a developer of innovative ostomy technologies and their line of innovative products provide ongoing and uncompromising support. Many patients using ConvaTec systems were able to have complete freedom and enjoy life just like they did before surgery.

Hollister is another company standing on the front line of ostomy care. They’ve been in the ostomy business since their first ostomy pouch was introduced in 1964. Today, Hollister offers a comprehensive range of ostomy accessories and provide leading-edge solutions for ostomy management.
