Can you think of anything more embarrassing than having an "accident" in public? If you have a problem with incontinence then you already know the importance of proper incontinence protection.
The key word in that phrase is "proper" because the product you use has to provide the protection you need. For example if you suffer from stress incontinence you may experience a heavier flow when you are working out than you do during the rest of the day. As a result, the incontinence protection you use during physical activity should have a higher absorbency capacity than what you use while at work.
Stress incontinence is just one form of the condition. Overactive bladder and urge incontinence are also common and both have different incontinence protection requirements. If you are uncertain as to what kinds of products are best suited for you, don't hesitate to ask your doctor for advice.
Also understand that incontinence is not a disease in itself but a symptom of an underlying condition. In many cases it can be cured or at least effectively managed through lifestyle changes, medication or even surgery. However, while you are working on the cure you still need the protection in order to have the confidence to live your life as normal.
Incontinence does not mean the end of the world or the end of an active lifestyle. With the proper incontinence protection you can enjoy life as you always have. Just work with your doctor and stay true to the regimen he or she puts you on and you'll be well on your way to ending incontinence as a part of your life.
