Practical Advice

This week is ICS World Continence Week (WCW), an annual initiative from the International Continence Society and the Continence Foundation of Australia (CFA) to raise awareness on incontinence issues and how to improve the quality of life of those who suffer from such conditions. To participate, we’ve come up with a list of tips on dealing with incontinence without sacrificing the activities you enjoy.

Adult onset secondary enuresis, or adult bedwetting, occurs when an individual experiences nighttime wetting at an older age despite having achieve night dryness for many years in the past. Oftentimes, adult onset enuresis is associated with other symptoms and is a sign of a bigger medical issue.

People with urinary incontinence may experience a wide range of emotions, including embarrassment, anxiety, frustration and loneliness. The condition can have such an emotional effect on people that they start declining invitations to go out and stay at home, where they won’t get caught with an embarrassing accident. Use these tips to help you cope with incontinence and learn to not let it get in the way of your life.

Father’s Day is quickly approaching, and instead of going with the typical tie or sweater vest, we’ve come up with a list of gifts that show your elderly parent just how much he means to you.

Imagine you’re taking a road trip with your family. You’re cruising down the highway with the windows down and the music blasting. All of a sudden, you hear someone yell, “I gotta go!” Of course, there’s no bathroom in sight, and even if there was, it’s probably not as sanitary as you’d like. So you reply back, “Hold it in for several more miles!” Unfortunately, the urge is too strong and the floodgates open.

Aside from absorbency, comfort is a crucial factor when it comes to wearing incontinence protection. During the summer months, temperatures increase, people get sweatier, and adult diapers become more uncomfortable.

A great way to stay cool during the warmer climates while managing incontinence is by wearing breathable adult diapers.

If you’re experiencing bladder control problems, you may have been told to “do your kegels” without getting any explanation on how to do them or exactly what they are.

Kegels are exercises that help strengthen the pelvic floor, which supports the bladder and bowel. If the pelvic floor is damaged or weakened, you might start experiencing fecal or urinary incontinence.

Nowadays, companies are steering away from traditional plastic backed adult diapers and producing more cloth-like briefs that are breathable and more discreet. However, for those who prefer plastic back diapers, we carry a variety of extra absorbent products, great for nighttime incontinence. These briefs not only last several hours, but also are comfortable and soft to the touch.

If you’ve ever experienced a leaky diaper, you know how frustrating and embarrassing that can be. Your clothes get wet, your bed sheets become stained, and your laundry just piles up.

A great way to prevent leaky diapers (besides wearing the right size and type) is to use a booster pad.

Oftentimes, men begin to experience prostate gland problems as they get older. Bladder control problems may arise from an enlarged prostate or due to prostate cancer surgery. In fact, as many as 50% of men report urinary leakage in the first few weeks following prostate surgery and even after six months, 10-25% of patients will not have regained full bladder control, according to the National Association for Continence.
