Tips:
- This store has the largest selection of incontinence products.
- Staff are exceptionally friendly.
On Saturday, I was running a bunch of errands. I was on a mission to find incontinence underwear for my mom that doesn't irritate her skin.
We are fairly new to incontinence products. I got two types of Depend underwear products for her a few months ago. One of them has caused a lot of itchiness for her recently. The other has been great, which is the Depend Silhouette.
I wanted to stick with getting this specific brand and type. However, it wasn't on sale and she wears a medium, which I had tough time finding.
I was in the eastern part of Markham, practically at the border between Markham and Pickering. I did a search for a Rexall and found this location. Perfect!
The drive over here was great. I took backroads, which I always find relaxing.
This Rexall is in a plaza with a Metro that anchors it. I had just finished my grocery shopping. I will need to return to check out Metro next time.
I had no problem finding an available parking spot. I backed into one and walked in.
I always like visiting a new drugstore and trying to figure out where everything is. This store has a vast assortment of curling irons and straighteners. It was impressive.
The pharmacy was busy. Everyone behind the counter looked relaxed working with customers.
The incontinence products are around the corner from the pharmacy. I have never seen such a huge display in my life. The Rexall in Markham has a third of this selection, which is why this drugstore was my third one that I had visited.
I spent a lot of time doing research on various incontinence products in front of me. I looked up reviews on my phone, as you can't tell right from the packaging whether the material is safe on skin.
Tena was on sale. The Ultimate variety got great reviews. A few folks commented on how cottony soft it was on their skin and that the underwear was breathable. I got a pack.
I continued browsing. At one stage, a female staffer asked me if I needed any help. She called me sweetheart, which I haven't heard in eons.
I let her know that I was browsing. She said that this place didn't charge for browsing and that I could take my time. She was the sweetheart!
There is so much variety at this store that it's insane. I looked at M&M Food Market products. It felt like I was at an actual M&M Food store. It had practically everything you could think of!
I naturally hit the snack aisle. Twigz were on sale. I love these pretzel snacks. I grabbed a couple of bags and then went to line up at the checkout.
There was one woman working the checkout section. Another woman came over to help out. I got the original one who was friendly and competent.
I had my BeWell barcode scanned from my phone. I then paid for my goods with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I thanked the woman and left with my items.
I love Twigz. I got the cinnamon churro, which is yummy. The cinnamon flavour is strong and it's not terribly sugary.
My mom hasn't worn the Tena underwear yet. I hope that she isn't irritated wearing it. If she's happy wearing it, we'll all be happy adding another safe product to your list as we continue figuring out incontinence products that are safe on her skin.
