I regularly buy continence aid products on behalf of a disabled family member i help care for and chemist warehouse have seen it upon themselves to increase the price on this commonly bought & used product from $34.09 last month to $46.99 this month…our monthly order has now increased from $165 to $234.95!
an effin 38% price hike for a medical health aid thats needed daily by the disabled & elderly? seriously…wtf chemist warehouse?
I'm not sure if you live near Aldi. They do carry very limited stock and cheaper.
really…i had no idea?

nice work ozb…never thought a thread on continence aid products would gain so much popularity…
204+ comments in this thread and my most downvoted comment to date with a -66 …gotta love it!!!
Not sure it’s that’s impressive when 1/3 of comments are from you alone.
my theory is ozb closeted urine-fetishists are beefing up the numbers
one in particular …..
Just wait till the inevitable price rises for 100+ prescription meds in October.
ozbargainers: its a free market…stop whining!
My father uses these products and yeah, it's frustrating. The price has sky-rocketed and further the products have been difficult to get a hold of as well.
Cost of living and manufacturing increase? Most likely. I doubt Chem Warehouse have just chosen to jump 38% overnight. Sigh.
Massive increases in costs for materials, transportation and energy significantly impacted the Company's business performance in the first half of 2022. With the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, raw material prices continued to rise, which increasingly destabilized global supply chains and energy supplies.

…war in ukraine, huh?
Maybe the price increase is demand driven after OP pissed their pants all over this thread.
good one mate… pissing myself at your eloquent piss pun!! piss funny! piss!
Just because Chemist Warehouse increased the price of your other meds doesn't mean you should stop taking them.
Curse the 5 downvotes per day limit. This guy is shattering records.
Lol OP is responsible for over 40% of the comments on this thread. Use those downvotes wisely, but even if you close your eyes and blindly dish them out, the chances aren’t too bad that you’ll hit one of his comments aha
17 replies & youre still butt hurt, huh?
17 replies in a thread about continence pads….lol!
and you just cant let it go even after being told by staff to do so?
indeed. the chemist warehouse perfume hags are out in force…
Comments are closed, thank you.
If you cap prices and the actual costs are going up all that will happen is no one will stock or sell the item.
