Incontinence Supplies to Help Aid Incontinence

RONKONKOMA, NY, September 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) Incontinence is the loss of bladder control or bowel control. Some reasons that may cause incontinence are diabetes, urinary tract infection, prostate issues, or physically unable to reach the bathroom in time. Even things like sugar drinks, tea, and coffee will act as a diuretic therefore resulting in incontinence. A big problem among elders is that they are purposefully either not drinking enough water or some are even with-holding fluids so they don't wet themselves, which could lead to dehydration. There are tens of millions of people who have incontinence and it is very common among people over 50, especially for women. In order to relieve the stress of this condition we must use incontinence supplies. Now there are other steps that can be used in addition to incontinence supplies but in some cases as a caregiver we can not always be there to help or remind someone to go to the bathroom. So I do encourage making it as easy as possible to get to the bathroom, if you have to move furniture for a clear pathway and make a bathroom plan for every two hours, do it.

But I want to list a few products that are very important for comfort, because accidents do happen and they may happen often in some cases.

Adult Diapers - These are the holy grail for adult incontinence, they are a diaper for an adult. They aren't what you think, most briefs that are designed today are meant to look like underwear. You will get full urinary and bowel incontinence protection, along with odor control and they are super absorbent so you won't be too uncomfortable until you get home. You can get adult diapers for light, medium, and heavy incontinence. Brands like Depend, TENA, and Attends make really good adult briefs.

Pads - You can get pads to go along with adult briefs for added protection. Or if you just have a mild urinary incontinence condition these work really well. They come in all different types and sizes, brands and absorbency levels.

Underpads - These are used as pads to be put on surfaces, such as a bed or chair. They are important to have to sustain a clean and healthy environment. You do not want to have to always wash your sheets every time you have an accident in bed or having to be throwing out chairs do to odor.
