Article Abstract:
Comparisons of disposable and reusable continence products should consider usage, supply, disposal, cost and environmental impact. Disposable products may entail problems of supply and disposal. Reusable products may entail laundering difficulties. Manufacturers of disposable products suggest reusables may not be as environmentally friendly as supposed. The complete cycle of a product from manufacture to disposal should influence any environmental impact assessment.
