How To Select The Right Incontinence Underwear


No one in the stores is knowledgeable.  Here's help.
When it comes to buying incontinence underwear it is important to consider several things from comfort to pricing. Buying incontinence underwear is just one step in the right direction in being able to have control over incontinence and getting your life back. Many people suffer from incontinence and they let it keep them from social situations and other things that can allow you to really enjoy your life. While incontinence is hard and can be embarrassing, it doesn’t need to turn into a thing that forces you to stay home. The right incontinence products will be able to give you the protection that you need so you can go out in public and can enjoy being social.

What should you look for when you are shopping for incontinence underwear? It varies from person to person but some elements remain the same. Use these tips as a guide to buying the best incontinence underwear.

 Comfort – you will be wearing this product all around. The last thing you want to do is deal with a diaper or pad that doesn’t feel good. Comfort has to deal with not only how it fits but how you feel about wearing it. If you don’t feel confident when you go out, you may find that you are always nervous about wearing the product and it can cause you to have a hard time enjoying your life. Try out samples of different products so you can find one that is comfortable. It is important that you seek out incontinence products that will be able to give you the best level of protection but a product that really does feel good to wear. Look for a product that doesn’t bunch up or make noise when you wear it. Try out many brands of adult diapers and incontinence pads to see what you prefer. The adult diapers need to fit snugly against the skin without leading to problems like pinching of the skin. If the diapers are too loose it is easy for urine to escape out of the diaper or pad and will leave you dealing with an embarrassing situation.

Absorbency – you need to look for a product that will be able to hold all of the urine that escapes from your body. Dealing with incontinence is embarrassing but not having adequate protection can be mortifying. You may think you are protected until you feel that your pad is failing to hold in the urine that is being released. Measure the amount of urine loss that you have each day. This will assist you in understanding how much protection you need to consider. There are so many different types of absorbency options to choose from that it can take time for you to be able to find a product that is ideal for your body.  

Cost incontinence supplies are not inexpensive.  If you have to change out multiple disposable incontinence pads or diapers each day, the cost will add up in a hurry. You need to look into different products that can reduce the cost so you can afford to manage your condition properly. Some people prefer using the washable incontinence supplies as they are much more cost effective and will allow you to have an easier time in dealing with incontinence without needing to pay too much money. The other nice thing about washable incontinence supplies is how similar they look to your regular underwear. This is a great way to mask your problem with incontinence as other people will not be able to see the difference in regular underwear versus incontinence underwear.
