Watch this video. How to choose the right incontinence product.
Urine loss
How much urine are you losing through the day? Just a few
drips here and there can make managing incontinence easier as you can depend on
a light pad to do the job. If you are having urge incontinence where the entire
bladder chooses to release itself, you are better off with an adult diaper that
can offer extra absorbency. Knowing how much urine you have coming out and the
frequency will give you the best assistance in choosing a quality product.
Comfort
Always shop for incontinence products that are
comfortable. Some people do not mind wearing thick pads and diapers where other
people like the traditional feeling of underwear. You need to consider using
some washable incontinence underwear if you want to try and find a product that
is the most like your underwear. The nice thing about the underwear is the
ability that it will offer your skin to breathe. You may find that you do not
deal with odor issues as often since air is able to flow freely through the underwear.
Comfort is essential as it can prevent you from wearing the products if you
feel it pinch or tug against the skin.
Fitting
Your gender will play a role in selecting the right
incontinence products. Males have different types of incontinence issues from
women. Both genders need to buy products that are specifically made for them in
order to have the best level of protection against incontinence. Since you can
end up with small drips of urine or a large flow, it helps to look for products
that have the padding in the right area based on your gender.
Cost
Wearing incontinence products on a daily basis can become
expensive. You need to look into the cost of the products and to purchase what
you know you can afford. You should consider washable incontinence supplies you
know that the disposable diapers will become expensive in a hurry. The cost is
always a factor. This is why it helps to buy online as the prices are cheaper
and you have a larger selection to choose from. Buying online also helps you to
keep incontinence your secret as it is discrete and the packaging the products
are shipped in are typically discrete as well.
Options
To find a product that does fit properly to your body, it
helps to order a sample packet. This way you will be able to see the difference
between buying incontinence pads compared to an adult diaper. You can see if
you like the feeling of incontinence pants versus using the disposable diapers
and finding the best products for your budget and needs. Having options to choose
from can help you to have confidence as you know others deal with the same
condition that you have and they are able to overcome it as well. Look for
incontinence products that also aid in protecting your furniture as well. There
are some great products out there like bed pads, which help to keep your
bedding protected from damage from urine that leaks out. There are other
protection pads that you can use on your furniture if you are worried about
leaks.
