There are a variety of incontinence products available and which is best depends on your personal condition and preference. Here are a few of the more popular bladder weakness products.
Incontinence Pads
These pads resemble sanitary napkins except they are far more absorbent. They are secured with adhesive strips so they don't shift and remain comfortable to wear. Pads are available for both men and women and are specifically designed for gender. Women's pads are more absorbent in the middle while men's incontinence pads are more absorbent in the front portion of the pad.
Incontinence Pants
These pants have seen tremendous improvement both in absorbency and design over the past few years. They are typically used by persons with moderate to heavy incontinence and can be used alone or in conjunction with a pad. New fabrics now allow for a slimmer profile making them virtually impossible to detect under any type of clothing. These pants are designed to look like regular underwear and for men there is a choice of briefs or boxers. Incontinence pants come in both disposable and washable models.
Mattress Pads
These items serve to protect your mattress and keep the person dry throughout the night. They are ideal for traveling. If the pad is not damp in the morning, simply fold it up and use it again the next night.
Bladder weakness products are readily available and are great tools to help you manage your incontinence condition.
