Adult incontinence products

Incontinence can dramatically change an individual’s ability to participate in everyday life. It is a condition that will be experienced by more than a quarter of all women at some stage of their life and by nearly a fifth of older men. Some 55 percent of female residents in long term care facilities in Europe are incontinent.

Incontinence can:

  • Cause isolation
  • Result in depression and psychological problems
  • Prohibit social activity
  • Prohibit active participation in the workforce.

 

There is a wide product range of adult incontinence products designed to meet the needs of people of all ages and gender. They enable users to:

  • Maintain a sense of dignity
  • Be confident that they will not experience leakage
  • Work and/or take part in social activities
  • Be confident about odour control
  • Maintain hygiene and cleanliness
  • Retain independence
  • Protect skin health, as products that are highly absorbent and use ‘breathable’ materials reduce skin wetness. See report on skin health and hygiene benefits of absorbent hygiene products.
