| Try samples before you buy and avoid the costly mistake of buying the wrong product. |
- Start with gender and size-Men and women have very different needs when it comes to incontinence products. The products on the market now reflect those needs. You want to choose a product that meets the need of the gender that you are shopping for. In addition, size is an important consideration. You want to make sure that you choosing the right size incontinence product in order to make sure that it is effective. An ill fitting product will work less effectively and not provide the highest degree of protection. You also want to make sure that the wearer is comfortable in the product which means paying attention to the sizing.
- Choose the right absorbency level-One of the major benefits of the incontinence products that are available today is that they come in a wide range of absorbencies. This means that you can meet the needs of the wearer. People who have light to medium incontinence may need a far different incontinence product then those individuals who have complete lack of bladder control. Because all incontinence projects don’t have the same level of absorbency it is important to choose the one that meets the needs of wearer. Keep in mind that most people who wear an incontinence product also need a heavier absorbency at night.
- Take lifestyle factors into account-Many people mistakenly assume that the only seniors with incontinence issues are bedridden, ill and need adult diapers. The reality is that there are many people all different ages that are living with incontinence while trying to maintain full and active lives. If the person who needs an incontinence product is still active, on the go, and dresses themselves they will need a different incontinence product then someone who is bedridden and requires full-time care. Because there are so many active people of all ages who are dealing with incontinence it is important to choose an incontinence product that allows them to continue with their chosen lifestyle.
