Incontinence Products

I've tried many different brands over the years, and I recommend Tranquility ATN (All-Through-the-Night) fitted briefs for both absorbency and odor control. These sites have the best pricing and free shipping:

	http://www.cheapchux.com/tratnafibr.html Free Shipping in the continental USA. Best pricing per unit.
	http://woodburyproducts.com/tranq.htm Free Shipping in the continental USA but not to the west coast.
	http://www.ilovetranquility.com/heavy.htm Free Shipping in continental USA.

Most of these companies will send you free samples if you pay for shipping & handling.

I've used http://NorthShoreCare.com, but they had the highest price per unit (even after their 10% buyer's club discount) plus they charge for shipping.

http://blair.com Good selection of partial or full elastic-waist pants

The Collis-Curved Toothbrush Maintaining good dental hygiene is a continuing challenge for parents of CLS kids, who are often not effective in brushing their own teeth. A powered toothbrush such as the InterPlak is the most effective solution, but not all CLS kids will tolerate the sensory stimulation of a powered toothbrush or might bite down on the toothbrush while it is running. If an Interplak will not work for your family member, the Collis-Curve toothbrush may provide a more effective solution than an ordinary toothbrush for manual brushing. The Collis-Curved toothbrush cleans both sides of the teeth at once.
