General Queries
Why don’t you use cotton in your Conni range?
You may wonder why cotton isn't used in our Conni range. The answer is that cotton tends to hold moisture at the surface, which makes it unsuitable for absorbent products. In addition, using cotton could be quite uncomfortable for the person wearing it.
My child is going to school next year and sometimes wets during the day - can the CONNI Kids undergarments be used as an alternative to disposables?
We wouldn't recommend the CONNI Kids underwear as a substitute for diapers, but it's an excellent option if your child experiences Light Bladder Leakage (LBL) or is currently undergoing toilet training. As we all know, accidents can happen, and our Conni Tackers are ideal for situations where a child can't reach the toilet in time, wakes up too late, or doesn't empty their bladder completely.
Are CONNI products washable and reusable?
Absolutely! All of our products are designed to be reusable, which not only makes them cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.
I am finding my Conni product has not lasted as long as I expected. Why is this?
We're sorry to hear that your Conni product hasn't lasted as long as you expected. It's important to note that our bedding, chair, and underwear products have a maximum washing and drying temperature of 80°C. If the temperature exceeds this or unsuitable chemicals, such as fabric softeners or chlorine-based bleach, are used, this could impact the durability of the product.
We want to ensure that you're satisfied with our products, and we're happy to discuss your concerns further. Please don't hesitate to contact us using the form below, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
I’ve started toilet training! Are there any Conni products that can help me?

Please feel free to get in touch with us or check out the information available on our website.

Undergarments
Is the absorbency only in the crotch of the Conni Underwear?
With the exception of our Ladies Active range, all Conni Underwear is designed with an absorbent and waterproof lining that covers the entire area from the front of the waist to the back. This ensures maximum protection against leaks and ensures that you stay dry and comfortable throughout the day.
The Conni Underwear are so thin, what are they made from?!
Our underwear are designed to be slim and lightweight, thanks to the technology we use. They look and feel just like regular underwear, so you can feel comfortable and confident wearing them. The outer layer is made of a blend of cotton and elastane, while the interior features a soft microfibre liner and an absorbent polyester layer. To keep you cool and comfortable, we use a supple polyurethane laminate waterproof layer that is also breathable.
How much will my Conni Underwear hold?
Our Conni Underwear range is specifically designed for people who experience Light Bladder Leakage (LBL), also known as stress incontinence. This type of incontinence can occur when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or exercise. However, everyone's experience with LBL is different, and what LBL means to one person may be different for another. Therefore, we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional to determine whether this kind of underwear is the right choice for you.
Do I need to use extra protection with my Conni Underwear?
Although all Conni Underwear are designed to be waterproof and absorbent, we understand that some people may require extra protection throughout the day or night to stay dry. That's why we offer adult liners, which are a great option for those who need additional protection. These liners can be used along with our undergarments to provide added peace of mind.
I am in between sizes in the Conni Underwear. What size should I go for?
Our underwear range is designed with a waterproof and absorbent gusset, which means there may be some limitations to the stretch of your Conni underwear when compared to non-absorbent briefs. If you're between sizes, you may find that going up a size provides a more comfortable fit. Additionally, we recommend considering the sizes you typically wear in other types of bottoms, such as pants, shorts, or leggings. Many of our customers have found this to be helpful when selecting the right size.
Swimshorts
What if I have an accident whilst wearing my CONNI Containment Swim Shorts?
While our CONNI Swim Shorts are designed to fully contain bladder and bowel matter, we don't recommend wearing them for prolonged periods after an accident has occurred. For the sake of good hygiene, we suggest making your way to the nearest change room as soon as possible and cleaning up. This helps ensure that you can continue to enjoy your time in the water with confidence and comfort.
Is there anything else in the CONNI Containment Swim Short? How do they contain everything?
Our CONNI Swim Shorts are crafted from neoprene, which is a type of wetsuit material. However, they also come with a built-in waterproof membrane that helps prevent the spread of void-causing germs into the water. Additionally, our swim shorts feature a comfort brief that ensures maximum comfort during use. To provide a secure and custom fit, our swim shorts include an adjustable drawstring with toggle at the waist and legs.
What if I am between sizes for the CONNI Containment Swim Shorts?
You're in luck! Our adjustable drawstring and toggle aren't just located at the waist – they're also found on both legs to provide extra protection and seal all openings. This helps ensure that you can enjoy your time in the water with added confidence and peace of mind.
Can I use additional protection with the CONNI Containment Swim Shorts i.e. a disposable liner or nappy?
Absolutely! While our design is designed to contain accidents, you can certainly use additional protection if desired. We recommend that individuals exit the water and clean up as soon as an accident occurs to prevent any leaks or discomfort.
When is it a good idea to use the CONNI Containment Swim Shorts?
Our CONNI Containment Swim Shorts are specially designed to contain both bladder and bowel matter, providing enhanced reassurance and confidence in the water. They're an excellent choice for anyone who wants to enjoy public pools, beaches, or hydrotherapy classes without worry.
We offer both adult and kids ranges, so whether you're an adult seeking extra protection or a parent looking for a stylish and eco-friendly alternative to disposable swim nappies, we have you covered!
Bed Pads
Are Conni Bed Pads environmentally friendly?
Yes, Conni Bed Pads are environmentally friendly, as they can be washed and reused, reducing the amount of waste produced from disposable bed pads.
Can Conni Bed Pads be used with an electric blanket?
POLICY FOR USE OF CONNI BEDDING WITH ELECTRIC BLANKETS
The debate about washable absorbent pads for the purpose of managing incontinence, used in conjunction with an electric blanket is one that draws many interesting comments. Some years ago it was considered safe to use an absorbent Bed Pad with an electric blanket as long as the electric blanket was covered with a waterproof sheet.
Current debate rests with the fact that regardless whether there is a waterproof sheet between the Bed Pad and the electric blanket, there is still risk of fluid penetrating through to the electric blanket which could cause serious injury or even death. The risk lies with ill fitting or worn waterproof sheets which would allow fluid to pass through to the electric device. Common practice indicates that electronic devices should not be subject to fluid or moisture.
Our policy is to recommend that electric blankets are not used with any CONNI Bed Pad. Alternative warming not containing liquid, such as heat bags, should be encouraged as a replacement to the electric blanket.
If the user insists on using an electric blanket, we recommend that the manufacturers of the electric device should be consulted for further advice on the usage with an absorbent product.
CONNI/ Galway Trading accept no responsibility for loss, damage or personal injury resulting from our products being used with an electric device.

Micro-Plush Mattress Protectors
Why do I need Waterproof Mattress Protection? How do they differ from other protectors?
There are many advantages of using a Conni Micro-Plush waterproof mattress protector over a non-waterproof one.
Protection against spills and stains: A waterproof mattress protector provides a barrier between the mattress and any spills or stains that may occur, such as from a spilled drink, sweat, or bedwetting. This can help to keep the mattress clean and free from stains, which can extend its lifespan.
Protection against allergens: A waterproof mattress protector can also provide protection against allergens such as dust mites, mold, and mildew. These allergens can thrive in warm and moist environments, and a waterproof mattress protector can help to keep the mattress dry and prevent the growth of these allergens.
Hygiene: Using a waterproof mattress protector can help to maintain good hygiene in the bedroom. It can prevent moisture and other fluids from penetrating the mattress, which can help to prevent the growth of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms.
Convenience: A waterproof mattress protector is typically easier to clean than a non-waterproof one. Conni Micro-Plush waterproof mattress protectors can be machine washed, which can save time and effort compared to spot cleaning a non-waterproof protector.

Can Conni Micro-Plush Waterproof Mattress Protectors be used for overnight protection?
Yes, Conni Micro-Plush products can be used for overnight protection. They are designed to provide reliable protection throughout the night with the light absorbency and waterproof backing. For full voids of the bladder, we suggest using in conjunction with a Conni Bed Pad.
Are Conni Micro-Plush Waterproof Mattress Protector products easy to clean?
Yes, Conni Micro-Plush products are easy to clean. Just like you would with any other bedding, they can be washed in a washing machine using a good quality detergent and dried on a low-heat setting or on a clothesline. They are also quick-drying, which makes them convenient for everyday use.

They are not designed to be used inside a shower or bathtub. Anti-Slip performance is best achieved when the mat is used on a clean, smooth and flat non-textured floor. Some floor cleaning products may interfere with the performance of the product.
Product Care

CONNI Bed Pads, Chair Pads, Undergarments, Liners, Mattress Protectors, Pillow Protectors and Pet Pads can all be washed and tumble dried in temperatures up to 80°C.

I’ve noticed discolouration on my CONNI Bed Pad/Undergarment, can I use bleach?
Please do not use chlorine based bleach or fabric softeners on any of your CONNI products. These chemicals will coat and fill the hi-tech fibres and make your CONNI product lose function. We find oxygen based bleach (such as Napisan), or vinegar works great for freshening up the CONNI range.
How long will my CONNI product last?
There are many variables depending on usage so it is hard to say exactly how long your CONNI product will last. In general, CONNI Bed and Chair Pads should last up to 350 washes if washed in a domestic washing machine and ensuring the care instructions are followed. Undergarments typically last as long as a normal pair (6 months to a year), which is dependent on the wash and care of the garments.
Can I use an electric blanket under my CONNI Bed Pad?
Although our products are 100% waterproof, please refer to our policy for use of electric blankets with bed pads.
How often do I need to wash my CONNI Mattress Protector?
For bedwetting and incontinence, CONNI Mattress Protectors are best used in conjunction with an absorbent CONNI Bed Pad. Place the CONNI Bed Pad on top of your sheet, which can then be easily removed and washed as needed.
If an accident makes its way onto your CONNI Mattress Protector, wash it before next use. If you prefer to wipe down the surface rather than wash the entire protector it can be used inside out with the shiny side facing up - then you can wipe it down with a mild detergent or antibacterial solution and let it air dry.
If you are using the mattress or pillow protectors to keep your bedding clean and hygienic in general, just wash regularly with your other bedding.
