Urinary Incontinence

Hey there! Do you find yourself experiencing urinary incontinence? If yes, I have got some good news for you but first, I want you to know that you are not alone.

Research shows that over 4 out of 10 women who are 65 and older experience some sort of urinary incontinence/loss of bladder control. A lot of people associate this problem with aging, however, it can occur at any time in ones life due to other factors such as pregnancy, medication side effects ,childbirth or menopause. Also, it is important to mention that men experience urinary incontinence as well.

Although there are treatment options available that can be used to treat or cure urinary incontinence, specially designed products (for both male and female)can help to keep you protected, safe, odor -free, and rash -free. From disposable underwear like this one from Depend to pads, there are different options to choose from. These underwears come in different colors and sizes. When you are making your choice, remember to consider maximum protection, comfort, fit, absorbency, and odor control. The good thing is that you can request for free samples of these products to check them out first before you invest your money in them. I have shared links for this in the past.

So, go ahead and find a style/brand that suits your needs. Lastly, remember to do regular Kegel exercises and don’t forget to discuss your treatment options with your primary care provider or specialist.
