| Incontinence Products for Men |
Pull-ups are a type of diaper that will allow a man to
control when he has to use the absorption properties of the pull-up and when he
wants to save them for a later time.
They are easy to put on and take off, so any man with the ability to
control the issue a little bit could benefit from this type of product. There
are many adult diapers that are possible to use from Depends pull-ups to
generic brands that will work well to provide you with the right type of
protection.
Pads and liners are designed to go with the underwear a
man normally wears. They can be attached
and detached with ease, but it is important to note that these products are
designed to handle lighter flows of urine.
For someone who hasn’t lost all control, or who knows that they will not
need to urinate a lot, these types of products make perfect sense. The nice
part of using incontinence pads is how convenient they can be. You will be able
to take an extra pad with you to change out quickly and easily. You can easily
dispose of the pads as well when you are out an about without feeling
embarrassed that you need to walk around with a large adult diaper.
It is important to note that each of these products have
been designed for men and for women. Men
need to pick up the pull-ups, pads and liners and adult diapers designed for
men because the absorption spots are different than in the same products
designed for women.
A couple of men only products are the drip collectors
designed for lighter flow and the external catheter that links to a bag that
can be worn under the clothes and attached an appropriate body part. Both are wrapped around the penis to collect
any urine that may escape unwantedly. It is important that you learn how to
clean a catheter in order to make sure that it is not getting dirty and causing
bacterial to build up and potentially leading to an infection when you insert
it back into the penis.
Sometimes someone
who experiences incontinence may decide that it is too much work, trouble and
self-ridicule to leave the home. This
can lead to depression, obesity and severe medical problems. Instead consult your doctor, find out what is
creating the problem and meet it head on. Your doctor may find that there is some
type of underlying medical condition that needs to be dealt with.
Many types of incontinence are treatable and may be
cured. There are medications available,
but it may take only a change in eating habits and physical fitness. When incontinence is not curable, the right
products can make life worth living.
Whether it is a diaper, a pad or a liner, men should not be concerned
with what others will think. There are so many great options out there to help
you properly manage incontinence. Choosing the right incontinence products for
men will make all the difference in discretely managing your condition and
gaining your confidence once again.
