For Women

It is estimated that one in three women suffer from incontinence. Does that number surprise you? Look around the next time you are in a crowded room, busy mall, board meeting or party. Chances are some of these women are using female incontinence products.

Incontinence products for women are often associated with elder care, but incontinence is not a condition that discriminates. While it is true that senior women are more likely to be affected, many young women also suffer from leakage. Common triggers for women include excessive weight (including weight gain due to pregnancy), bladder infections, neurological diseases, and certain medications. Limited mobility or the need for assistance to reach a bathroom are also factors.

There are discrete and convenient incontinence products for women to handle the many different types of incontinent flow, be that a quick discharge due to cough or a steady drip from pelvic muscles that do not fully contract. Female incontinence products range from full briefs to belted pads to adhesive pads and cover the full range of absorbency (regular to super heavy flow).

Pregnant women should consider using female incontinence products. During the final stages of pregnancy, the weight of the foetus combined with changes in hormone levels cause the muscles of the woman’s pelvic floor to relax. A sudden change in pressure, such as a sneeze, laugh or certain exercise positions can cause leaks to occur. Using female incontinence products during the later stages of pregnancy means you can relax and not worry about this common situation since these products absorb both fluid and odour.

Incontinence products for women are a must during the postpartum period. Lochia, the discharge of blood and tissue from the uterus post delivery, can last up to ten days after the birth (longer in certain situations). Depending on your body and birth experience, the flow of lochia may be like a heavy menstrual period, may gush, or may leak slowly. Blood clots or larger pieces of tissue may also be discharged during this time. A woman’s pelvic floor is understandably tender during postpartum and some regular menstrual pads (specifically those with a dyed absorbent line) have been reported to cause irritation and infection when used to absorb lochia. Female incontinence products can handle the flow of lochia as the body returns to its pre-pregnancy state. The protective briefs provide full protection during the early stages of heavy flow while incontinence pads can be used as the flow tapers down during the later weeks.

Incontinence products for women are designed with the unique female body in mind. Whether you require a full slip on brief or if you just need to tuck an absorbent pad into your panties, female incontinence products will keep you fresh, active and ready to face the challenges of the day.
