Men's Incontinence Products – Gone Are The Adult Diapers
Men's Incontinence Products Gone Are The Adult Diapers
Incontinence has always been considered to be primarily a condition that affects women and perhaps that's why men who suffer from incontinence have been reluctant to discuss it with anyone including their doctors. However with the increase of older men in the world population, the number of men who have the condition has increased substantially leading to a new awareness and new developments in incontinence products for men.
Products designed to help the incontinent have gone through radical redesigns in recent years. In the past, incontinent garments were basically unisex in design and resembled adult diapers. This design was another reason that men hesitated to do anything about their condition and just tried to deal with the problem on their own. Who after all, wants to wear a diaper?
Today there have been major advancements and the garments, for women as well as men, resemble ordinary underwear both in look and comfort. Incontinence pants now come designed as gender specific garments and have a selection of absorbency capabilities to customize the garment to the individual's needs.
Men's pants come with absorbent material, either in the basic pant or with an optional pad, placed in the front of the garment where the most fluid will occur should there be a leakage. Women's pants have the majority of the protection in the middle of the garment. Both of these pants come with a slim profile and are impossible to detect under clothing.
Men have a fashion choice as well. Pants come in both boxer and brief designs and are made of soft fabrics that feel just like ordinary underwear.
Incontinence products for men are now becoming mainstream as more and more men decide to actively manage their condition. Of course your physician is the first stop in deciding just how to do this but at least now men have options to control leaking that will allow them to continue an active lifestyle without fear of an embarrassing public accident.
