by Shawn William Creative Writer       

If you or someone you are close to has incontinence, It can be embarrassing and problematic if you are at work, at a party or in the middle of doing something important and have an involuntary leakage. 

Therefore, in addition to consulting the doctor and making the necessary lifestyle changes to remedy the condition, you can take advantage of a wide range of incontinence products available in the market to live a normal life.

The following list names some of the products that you can use.

 

• Pads

  Pads are the most popular incontinence products and they are worn inside underwear to absorb urine leaks. There is a wide variety of absorbent pads to provide a solution to all types of incontinence. 

ID Direct is a very good online Supplier of incontinence pads for both men and women.

 

In pads manufacturing the same technology as for nappies are used. A hydrophobic layer is put in them to draw urine away from the surface of the pad. This means that your skin stays dry. 

 

You are advised to consult your doctors if you want to use them for a long time but as a temporary solution, it can help improve the quality of your life as you don't have to be housebound or spend all your time in the toilet.

 

• Pull up pants

 Using these pants are also very common and it has the advantage of being worn like regular underwear as they come with a built-in absorbent pad.

 

These products vary based on their range of absorbency level from low and moderate to heavy conditions.

 

 

• Bed and chair protection

  During bedtime, if you have incontinence, your beds are vulnerable to urine leak, not to mention, the odour that it creates as a result of your urine making its way through to the mattress. 

So, in order to prevent this happening, you can buy a protective waterproof sheet to put underneath the normal bed cover. 

The waterproof sheet should be used in conjunction with absorbent pads as the sheets are manufactured to protect and not to absorb.

 

You can take the same steps to protect your furniture as it is the last thing on your mind to damage your furniture as a result of any urine leak sipping through to the wooden surface.

 

 

• Penile sheath

  Penile sheaths can be effective if you have moderate to severe continence and it is a suitable alternative to disposable products. 

You should choose the right size in order for it to work because incorrect size can lead to discomfort.
