Looking for an underpads distributor Kenya wide who will sell you a bale today rather than a promise for next month? You have found the brand owner. Sternmed Premium Medical Underpads are made for Sternmed Afrika, stocked in Nairobi and sold by the bale to pharmacies, care homes and resellers.

Updated October 2026. Market retail prices were read on the linked pages in October 2026 and can change without notice.

This page sets out the underpads distributor Kenya terms in plain words. What a bale costs and holds, what resellers charge at retail, how fast stock reaches your town and how to place a repeat order in one message.

Who can become a Sternmed underpads reseller?

Anyone who sells to the public or to institutions. Pharmacies and chemists, medical supply shops, online sellers on marketplaces, care homes that supply families and county distributors who serve smaller towns. There is no application form and no joining fee.

You buy by the bale, you set your own retail price and you sell under the Sternmed name. We do not sell to your customers behind your back at a lower price. An underpads distributor Kenya resellers can trust has to keep that promise, so we put it in writing here.

Start with one bale. If it sells, order two. Many of our resellers began with a single bale and a WhatsApp message.

What does one underpads distributor Kenya bale cost and hold?

One bale costs KSh 8,000. It holds 10 packets, each of 10 pads, which is 100 pads of 60 x 90 cm. The bale is in stock in Nairobi and ships today.

The bale price is public on the bale of 10 packets page and the packet price on the packet of 10 page. Larger reseller orders are quoted on request. An honest underpads distributor Kenya buyers can compare has to show its numbers, so ours are on the page.

How much margin is there at retail prices in Kenya?

Margin is the question every reseller asks an underpads distributor Kenya wide, so here is the arithmetic. Market listings seen in October 2026 show 10 pad packs selling at KSh 690 at the lowest and KSh 2,950 at the highest, with most marketplace listings between KSh 1,000 and KSh 2,950 and one showing 10 hygiene bed pads at KSh 2,100. The table shows what each retail price means for a reseller who buys a Sternmed bale at KSh 800 a packet.

Those are gross figures before your delivery, platform fees and time. Still, a reseller who sells a bale at KSh 1,500 a packet clears KSh 7,000 on an KSh 8,000 outlay. That is the plain arithmetic behind the underpads distributor Kenya offer.

Price to your market. A pharmacy in a town with no competition can sit higher than an online seller fighting on a marketplace. We never tell a reseller what to charge.

A worked example for a small pharmacy

A pharmacy buys two bales for KSh 16,000 and prices a packet at KSh 1,400. It sells 20 packets a month, which is one bale, so the stock turns in eight weeks. Gross margin is KSh 600 a packet, or KSh 12,000 on the two bales.

Delivery on the two bales was included in the price from Nairobi. The pharmacy reorders two bales every six weeks by WhatsApp and never runs out. That is the underpads distributor Kenya offer in real numbers for a real shop.

An online seller works the same sum with a lower price and platform fees. At KSh 1,100 a packet with KSh 100 in fees, the margin is KSh 200 a packet and the volume has to be higher. Both models work and both start with one bale.

Why Sternmed and not the cheapest pack on the market?

We are not the cheapest. One market listing shows 10 pads at KSh 690 and sells by the bale. We say so plainly because a reseller who finds out later trusts nobody.

What Sternmed offers instead is a stated size of 60 x 90 cm, a stated count of 10 pads a packet, stock in Nairobi, a brand name on the packet and pay on delivery. Many cheap listings state no size and no count, which makes them hard to resell to a careful buyer.

A reseller sells trust as much as pads. A packet that says what it is, from an underpads distributor Kenya customers can look up, is easier to sell twice. Repeat sales are where the margin really lives.

Who buys underpads at retail?

Knowing the end buyer helps a reseller and helps us as an underpads distributor Kenya wide. Families caring for an elderly parent at home, especially after a stroke or surgery, plus mothers in the weeks after childbirth. Carers of anyone bedridden or living with incontinence.

The NHS explains the causes and care of incontinence on its urinary incontinence page. The need is steady and grows with an ageing population, which is why underpads sell every week of the year.

Clinics, nursing homes and maternity units buy too, often by the bale. A reseller who serves both families and institutions turns stock over fastest. An underpads distributor Kenya wide sees that pattern in every county.

How fast can an underpads distributor Kenya wide reach my town?

Bales are in stock in Nairobi and ship the same day on orders confirmed during working hours. Within Nairobi, delivery is usually same day or next day. Other towns are served by courier and most receive within a few days.

Tell us your town when you order and we include delivery in the written price. A bale is a single, light carton that travels well. We also export across Africa on request for resellers across the border.

If you run out on a Friday, message us before noon and the bale moves that day. Speed is the quiet advantage of an underpads distributor Kenya resellers can reach on WhatsApp.

How do I place a first order?

1. WhatsApp +254 799 526972 with the number of bales and your town.
2. Or email info@sternmedafrika.com.
3. Or use the request a quote page for larger quantities.
4. We confirm the price including delivery and the dispatch day.
5. Pay by M Pesa or cash on delivery when the bale arrives.

There is no minimum beyond one bale. Open the bale at the door, count the 10 packets and check the 60 x 90 cm print on each packet before you pay. That is the underpads distributor Kenya first order from start to finish.

How do I place a repeat order?

Repeat orders are where an underpads distributor Kenya resellers rely on earns its keep. Send the same message with the new quantity. We keep your town and delivery details on file, so a repeat order is often three words and a number, while many resellers order on the same day each week or month.

Tell us your rhythm and we hold stock for it. A reseller who orders four bales on the first of every month never hears that we are out. That is the kind of underpads distributor Kenya relationship that lets you plan.

If demand jumps, message us early. We would rather know on Monday that you need ten bales on Friday than hear it on Friday morning.

What is in a Sternmed packet?

Ten disposable underpads, each 60 x 90 cm. The size suits a single bed and the standard hospital mattress, which is why 60 x 90 cm is the size most buyers search for. The count and the size are printed on the packet.

Underpads sit under a patient to protect the sheet and mattress from leaks. Families use them for bedridden relatives, new mothers and children. Clinics use them on examination couches and delivery beds.

A reseller who can say the size and the count without checking sells faster. Keep one open packet behind the counter so a customer can see and feel the pad. An underpads distributor Kenya shoppers trust begins with a packet that says what it is.

Selling Sternmed underpads online

Online sellers are a large share of underpads distributor Kenya enquiries. Marketplaces are where most retail underpad searches end up and one marketplace alone lists more than 70 underpad products. Stand out with a clear title that states the brand, the size and the count, a photo of the real packet and an honest description.

Use the phrases buyers type: underpads, bed pads, disposable bed pads, 60 x 90 cm, pack of 10. State the delivery time you can really meet. Fast, honest listings win repeat buyers on any platform.

You may use the Sternmed name and describe the product as Sternmed Premium Medical Underpads. Ask us for product photos and we will send them on WhatsApp. An underpads distributor Kenya online sellers can lean on should make listing easy, so we do.

Selling Sternmed underpads in a pharmacy

Pharmacies are the other half of the underpads distributor Kenya picture. Place the packet where carers can see it, near adult diapers and wound care, with a shelf talker that says 60 x 90 cm, 10 pads. Keep a bale in the back so the shelf never empties.

Train the counter staff on one sentence: these are disposable bed pads for anyone bedridden or living with incontinence. Most buyers know what they need and want to be served quickly.

Pharmacies near hospitals and nursing homes sell the most. If you have one of those, start with two bales rather than one.

Why the brand owner is the right underpads distributor Kenya wide

Buying from the brand owner means one less step between the factory and your shelf. There is no middle trader adding a margin and no risk that the brand quietly changes under you. When you have a question about the product, you are asking the people who specified it.

It also means the price you see on this page is the price the brand sets for everyone. A reseller in Kisumu and a reseller in Nairobi pay the same KSh 8,000 a bale, with delivery stated in writing for each town.

What else can a reseller stock from Sternmed?

From 27 November 2026 Sternmed also stocks IV cannulas, infusion sets, blood transfusion sets, Foley catheters, urine bags, infant feeding tubes and nebulizer masks. Pharmacies that resell underpads often add catheters, urine bags and nebulizer masks, which the same families buy.

See the incontinence care range for underpads and the medical consumables price list for everything else. Our hospital supplies wholesale guide explains how to build one list for all of it.

Ask for a quote on the other lines now and reserve stock against the November shipment. One underpads distributor Kenya account can become one account for the whole shelf.

Storage for a reseller

Bales are light but bulky. Store them off the floor in a dry room away from damp walls. A bale that gets wet is a bale you cannot sell.

Keep the bale sealed until you need to open it and take packets out one at a time. Packets left loose on a shelf pick up dust and lose their crisp look. A clean packet sells at a better price than a scuffed one.

Underpads have a long shelf life when dry, so there is no rush to clear stock. Still, rotate so the oldest bale is sold first. It is a small habit that keeps every packet looking new.

Mistakes new resellers make

Pricing below the cheapest marketplace listing and leaving no margin. Running out of stock in the first week because one bale seemed plenty. Listing without a size and a count, so careful buyers scroll past.

Forgetting delivery in the retail price. Selling a single packet at a price that only works for a bale. Every one of these is fixed by the arithmetic in the margin table above.

Ask us before you launch and we will look at your pricing with you. An underpads distributor Kenya resellers can call for advice is worth more than one who only takes orders.
