LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE, COMFORTABLE LIVING?
Incontinence Happens That’s right, incontinence happens to all of us! It may happen because of aging, injury or medical conditions. I t may be temporary or permanent, and it may start out as simple as a sneeze and slowly progress to total loss of bladder control. Rest assured, no matter why or when it happens, there are products designed to suit your needs. Absorbency varies from light to maximum with each of the three main styles of continence protection products — liners (pads), pull-ups (underwear) and briefs (diapers). Liners are typically used as protection for low fluid loss which can occur during exercise, laughter or sneezing and are designed for both men (guards) and women (liners). Pull-ups offer increased protection and are less bulky than briefs, which are designed specifically for convenience and also have the highest absorbency rating. Both pull-ups and briefs can be used in conjunction with a liner for added protection at night or over longer periods that don’t allow for changing. For individuals who may be often surrounded by others, either in a care facility or a social environment, it is advisable to look for a product that contains an odour neutralizer. Similarly, moisture management can be aided by choosing a product that has a top layer that reduces the amount of backflow moisture to the skin and that has the ability to contain fluid and eliminate leakage as much as possible. When loss of bladder control occurs, it is important to know that you are not alone. Knowing which product best suits your needs will help you make the right choice. A store that has a professional incontinence advisor can help guarantee that your product will be right for you! Karen Veldkamp-Perry B.P.Ed. Continence Advisor Canadian Health Care Products
