Adult Incontinence

For seniors on a limited income, adult incontinence supplies can be a luxury item.

Between the high price of adult incontinence supplies and the challenges of navigating complicated insurance systems, many seniors are unable to afford the products they need to be able to live their life the way they would like, with the dignity and joy they deserve.

The Diaper Bank of North Carolina distributes adult incontinence products through our partner organizations.

In 2020 the Diaper Bank of North Carolina saw a 2000% increase in adult incontinence distribution and requests and the need continues to grow.

Without assistance from the Diaper Bank of North Carolina, the elderly are forced to make difficult choices about whether to spend money on hygiene items or on other basic needs such as food, rent, or medicine. The products distributed allow these individuals to experience the dignity that comes from having a basic need met while also facilitating broader outcomes including feeling more connected to their community, being able to leave their homes more often, and feeling cleaner, healthier, and less frustrated.

The work we do is only possible with the help and support of our community members. Check out our Ways to Give page to learn more about how you can contribute to our mission of supporting the dignity, health, and quality of life of every NC family by providing access to basic necessities.
