Adult Bibs or Clothing Protectors



Adult bibs are usually plain in color and barely greater than a boring version of an infant food catcher, but there are actually options that sport some color and flair. Take “The 4 Tops” for example. While every single one of those clothes covers is virtually a fashion statement of its own, do not let the looks fool you. They do not just possess a pretty face; they are extremely protective, functional and colorful.

We start at the top or the neck, using a extremely simple to adjust velcro closure to accommodate the varying sizes of necks. This feature makes it possible for for the fit to become not too tight and as well not to loose, just the way you like it. An additional feature indicating that “The Four Tops” are properly constructed would be the heavy white binding that presents a good finishing touch to help keep all of the edges of this Adult Bib sharp and neat for a lengthy life of service.

At the heart in the protection are 3 elements: a colorful stain hiding leading layer, a moisture absorbing soaker plus a water resistant protective backing.

The genuine protection for clothing and skin coming from scalding hot drinks, cold beverages or staining food would be the backing, made from a water resistant vinyl barrier. The one particular size fits all together with the extended style is extremely productive in guarding the upper body clothing, shirt or blouse as well as pants or skirts inside the lap area along with protecting a larger individual. On top with the protective backing of this clothing protector but unseen would be the five ounce soaker (the absorptive material that holds the liquids). This soaker absorbs any and all liquids and is quilted to the leading multi colored layer of material which offers the “fashion statement” or very good looks.

The 4 Tops are available in stain hiding colors like two plaids - either a handsome mixture of blue, light blue and maroon, or a green, rust and gold, both selections are a poly cotton twill. Two further stain hiding colors in 100% polyester tricot are the Watercolor - a pastel blend of pink, red and light blue plus the picasso featuring a blue, green and gold blend.

The excellent construction and materials of these very tough adult bibs or clothes protectors is outstanding and they're going to deliver protection from stains and liquids whilst retaining their excellent looks via many laundering cycles.

Underpads that Over Perform

What is a bed pad you say? They go by a number of names and those names are utilized interchangeably - underpads or bed pads and are moisture absorbent pads which might be used to protect the bedding and mattress from adult and youngster incontinence or involuntary bladder releases. Bed pads can be found in either reusable or disposable varieties, and I'll concentrate on the reusable.

Reusable underpads are generally constructed with a vinyl knit barrier on the underside that offers waterproof protection to the sheets, bedding and mattress. This waterproof barrier comes in numerous colors like blue, green, tan and pink. The leading of those pads have a number of fabric choices; 100% Tircol - quite soft towards the touch, 80/20 cotton/poly Ibex - the classic cover but not quite as sturdy, 50/50 Cotton/poly twill - far more sturdy using a cotton really feel and 100% birdseye cotton. These prime layers, while all being white, give a bit distinct really feel and texture for the bed pad.

The heart of the bed pad may be the soaker - the element in amongst the best material as well as the bottom water barrier is named the soaker. This can be the center in the protection and is generally quilted towards the prime fabric. The soaker absorbs the moisture and holds it until the pad could be changed and laundered. This soaker comes in several weights with the most widespread being the eight ounce soaker weight. The weight does not refer for the quantity of moisture it can hold, but rather to the weight from the soaker fabric. Other choices of soaker weights are 6 ounce for lighter needs and 10 ounce for greater protection and much more heavy duty needs.

Being aware of several fundamental facts concerning the construction and supplies of bed pads or underpads can help you in picking the most effective goods and also what to seek out as you make those selections.

Age vs. youth and the ice cream dillema.

Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone. ~Jim Fiebig

Now, I came across this quote and it made me think.

Does age really change our likes and dislikes? Or does it merely refine them?

Here's the thing. Since I was young, I have HATED tuna, miracle whip, mayonnaise, mustard, and cottage cheese.

Really, these are the only things I refuse to eat. I hated them a child, and I do now.

But I still love a big 'ol scoop of ice cream. And, if it were to fall on the ground, it is true, I would be disappointed and I find it hard to find someone who wouldn't be. Now, if I had a big 'ol bowl of mayonnaise, mustard, cottage cheese tuna soup, and if it were to fall on the ground I wouldn't be sore at all. In fact, it would be a silent celebration for me as I have conquered those malignant evils using gravity as my aid.

Even if lactose intolerance became an issue for you later in life, I'm sure you still love the taste-- just no the outcome.

Doctor Supplies - The Essential Hospital Gown


I am a concerned patient and friend. As you read you'll find that I have come to understand what kind of doctor supplies need to be implemented in family practices. Now, I have to admit. This comes by way of an embarrassing story a 'friend of mine' had whilst I was with her visiting the doctor. To keep her name safe, we'll just call her . . . Bertha. (Yes, she was large). She was there for a procedure which I was not allowed (nor did I want to witness) inside of the medical clinic.

Part of the examination required her to disrobe. Suggestion number one to stock in the supplies for doctors: Gowns that protect dignity. The reason for this is because while she was having preliminary examinations, her back was toward the door. A nurse decided to enter (yes, she did knock but did not wait for a response) and there she was: Exposed for all the world to see in the lobby. Mortified, she left the doctor's office, hoping that a modest gown was part of the doctor supplies.

She told me this story, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Her plea I echo to medical physicians everywhere: One, don't put patients by the doors, and two, find a modest hospital gown as part of your doctor supplies.

Any good doctor comes prepared. Doctor supplies are hardly quantitative and can seem overwhelming to remember. Now, I'm not talking about the doctor office supplies, or the sundry items found in medical clinics. Just those items to protect vulnerable patients.

Why do we need modest hospital gowns as part of the essential doctor supply closets? Well, do you think that my friend 'Bertha' is going to back to that clinic? Not likely, nor is she going to seek medical treatment without PTSD flashbacks. Any physician would gladly have repeat clientele, so long as their experience was made, well, less embarrassing.

Longevity and Aging - Healthy Weight Matters

Longevity and Aging - Healthy Weight Matters
By Lisa A Mason




Although today people are living much longer than they used to, there is still a lot of talk about longevity and anti-aging. Most people don't want to grow old - or at least, they don't want to grow old too fast.



When it comes to longevity, it seems that everyone is trying to crack the code to extended youth and a longer, healthier life but one thing that consistently shows true as related is weight. People who are overweight seem to live shorter lives. The more overweight you are, the shorter your average lifespan may become.



Excess weight and obesity also seems to contribute to physical signs of aging and can make you appear older than you really are. So this leads us to the conclusion that maintaining a healthy weight can keep us young and help us live longer.



It's a good thought but one that has to be taken in full context. While maintaining a healthy, slender weight is good for longevity, it's not helpful if you use unhealthy means to get there.



For example, eating disorders, abuse of diet pills, smoking and other dangerous and unhealthy methods used to keep you think will ultimately cause more problems, just like being overweight would have caused. It can lead to cancers, heart disease and other problems, ultimately shortening your life span.



Therefore, staying thin really only helps you live a longer life when you do it the right way through a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise. These steps toward a longer, healthier life will also work as a natural anti-aging technique as it will keep you looking and feeling young as well.
