Question
Where can I find metal fasteners for ace bandages?

Answer

That is an excellent question.  We are actually not sure where these fasteners would be seperately sold.  For use on retantion of elastic bandages, we would recommend using cloth tape such as Hypoallergenic Cloth Tape. It comes in several different size 1/2 in, 1in & 2in, 3 in.

Question
We will be starting our son in 2D soon and need to get him diapers. He's 14 and has a 26" wiast. It looks from your site that the Attends, ATN, prime time plus, and promise ultra briefs will all fit him (briefs is just another word for diaper right?). Which would be best? I guess we are more concerned with absorbancy than economy at this point.Betty

Answer

Dear Ms. Girard:

Thank you for your inquiry.  As far as the absorbancy is concerned, both of the products you are considering will do the job just fine.  The choice between the products ultimately boils down to the fit and comfort.  Unfortunately, the only way to determine that is to try the product out.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at 877-706-4480.
