Who typically buys from this range?
The Disposals & General Supplies range is used by a wide cross-section of people. Aged care facilities and home care providers are the biggest buyers, stocking gloves, wipes, bed pads, and hygiene products for daily personal care routines. Disability support workers and NDIS participants also shop here regularly for consumables like continenceunderpadsand urinary care supplies. GP clinics, allied health practices, and nursing teams rely on this range for examination gloves, face masks, and surgical supplies.

What's the difference between nitrile, vinyl, and latex gloves, and which should I choose?
What's the difference between nitrile, vinyl, and latex gloves, and which should I choose?
Nitrile gloves are the most versatileoptionand are a good default choice for most people.They'relatex-free, durable, and offer excellent chemical resistance, which is whythey'reused widely across medical, aged care, and industrial settings. Vinyl gloves are a more economical option suited to lower-risk tasks like food handling, personal care, and general hygiene work where barrier protection is needed but the risk of chemical or infectious exposure is lower. Latex gloves offer a close, comfortable fit and high tactile sensitivity, which some clinical users prefer, butthey'renot suitable for anyone with a latex allergy. Ifyou'reunsure which is right for your situation, nitrile is usually the safest starting point.
