Best Adult Diapers For Fecal Incontinence

Find the best adult diaper to manage bowel incontinence

Between 6% and 15% of the population suffers from bowel incontinence. This is a frustrating, potentially embarrassing, and difficult to manage problem. Loss of bowel control, whether severe or only partial can greatly interfere with day to day living and tasks, social, and work life, and more. Therefore, finding the best adult diapers for managing bowel incontinence is a must. Here’s what you should consider:

1. Understand the severity of your fecal incontinence. The best way to do this is to talk to your physician. Despite the potentially embarrassing nature of this discussion, it is something you really should do. Fecal incontinence is not as uncommon as you may think; women are more likely to experience it as men, and often the severity and risk goes up as you age. Knowing your severity will help you understand your options, and find the products that are right for you.

2. Start on a treatment plan. Strengthening pelvic muscles and other treatments can help you regain control over your bowels. The cause of bowel incontinence must be addressed, and a treatment plan created. This may include changes to diet, exercise, and lifestyle. However, it takes time to get the bowels back to functioning properly, and if there is extensive sphincter damage, it may not be 100% reversible, or may require something more invasive, such as surgery. Thus, finding the right products for management is crucial to living with bowel incontinence.

3. Choose the best adult diapers for your bowel incontinence, and know what other products may also be helpful. When it comes to adult diapers you have a number of brand options including:

• Tranquility 
• Prevail 
• Attends 

Each of these brands offers a unique combination of comfort, protection and ease of use. Select the best options for your individual needs. 

In addition to adult diapers, consider purchasing bedpads to help protect mattresses, furniture, and the like from leaks; wipes to help keep the skin clean and healthy; and other skin care products to insure that you do not develop rashes, lesions, or other skin discomforts.

Adult diapers for bowel incontinence will give you a great management option to utilize in order to main dignity while you treat the cause, strengthen the pelvic muscles, and work to gain more control over your bowels.
