| Adult pull-ups can provide protection and discretion. |
Adult pull ups are used by many adults to help with incontinence management. Urinary incontinence affects 200 million people world wide. 25 million American adults experience some or even chronic UI, and one in four women over age 18, experience episodes of leaking urine involuntarily. Many of the men and women who have experienced loss of bladder control have never spoken with their doctors about it, and a third of men and women age 30-70 are still living with the symptoms. Thus, you can see there is a real need for incontinence supplies that provide protection and offer discretion. Adult pull ups may be the best option.
If you, or someone you know has experienced incontinence it is important to recognize there are two steps for dealing with it. 1. Treatment of the underlying problem: Talk to your doctor. They can help ascertain what is causing the involuntary bladder leaks, and come up with a treatment plan for solving the issue.
2. Management of the symptoms: Even if your primary care physician is able to discover the cause of your incontinence immediately, and start you on a treatment plan, there will be a time where you will need the help of products for management. Find the right products for your level of incontinence (light to total), and that fit your body and lifestyle best.
Adult pull-ups offer great protection for men and women who suffer from UI, but there are a few things to consider when selecting them:
Can you manage your incontinence on your own?
Adult pull ups are just as the name suggests, a product that you pull up and down just like regular underwear. This is very convenient, and can make the use of incontinence products far less obvious, but if you are unable to help yourself, a diaper option with tabs may be easier for a caregiver to manage.
What kind of fit and comfort do you need?
The adult pull ups are designed to be worn in place of traditional underwear, and they have absorbent cores that quickly absorb and disperse fluid to keep skin dry. Most are made of a cloth-like stretchy material to help provide superior comfort. Fit makes a big difference in the overall effectiveness and protection provided by the pull up. In order to find the right sizing and products for your body type, as well as your incontinence needs, consider contacting a product specialist at The CareGiver Partnership to help you find the best products for you.
