FAQs
What does 'Maxi' refer to in the product name?
'Maxi' indicates a higher level of absorbency within the Vivactive Slip range, designed for the most demanding incontinence needs.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Vivactive, which typically measures waist and hip circumference to ensure a proper fit.
Can these slips be reused?
No, Vivactive Slip Maxi are single-use disposable products and should be disposed of after use.
Are these suitable for sensitive skin?
While designed for comfort, individuals with very sensitive skin should monitor for any reactions and ensure regular changes and gentle skin care.
What is the TRIPLE LAYER LOCK™ system?
It is an innovative technology designed to rapidly absorb liquid and lock it away, significantly reducing the risk of leaks and enhancing dryness.
How is this different from the 'Ultimate' range?
The 'Ultimate' range typically offers even higher absorbency levels than the 'Maxi' range, for those with extremely heavy or total incontinence.
Can I wear these overnight?
Yes, the high absorbency capacity makes Vivactive Slip Maxi particularly suitable for overnight protection.
Troubleshooting
Leaks occurring
Ensure the slip is the correct size and is fitted snugly but comfortably. Check that the leg cuffs are properly extended and sealed. Ensure the absorbency level is appropriate for the need.
Skin irritation
Ensure the slip is changed promptly when wet. Gently clean and dry the skin during changes. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional and consider alternative products or materials.
Tapes not adhering securely
Ensure the tapes are being applied to the designated landing area on the front of the slip. Make sure the area where the tape is applied is clean and dry. Avoid stretching the tapes excessively before application.
