Incontinence is the last taboo subject, but it's nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about! Roughly 25 million, Americans (75% women) live with it. Millions more care for a loved one with this bladder control or bowel control issue . Of that number, nearly 24M of those living with incontinence are healthy, active individuals. So the misconception that it affects mostly seniors is fading quickly.
Without experiencing incontinence issues, it's difficult to imagine the impact it has on a person's life, resulting in the need for adult diapers, cloth diapers, incontinence supplies & incontinence products.
Can you think of any other physical disability that is spoken about in such whispered tones as a weak bladder? Today, bladder weakness, bladder control & other incontinence issues are no longer the anomaly. As our population grows, incontinence will become a common condition.
Honestly , how many times have you:
- strained lifting something that was just a bit too heavy...
- or, been in the gym working out really hard...
- jumped on a trampoline with the kids or grandkids....or
- had a sudden cough or sneeze - or laugh - that let out a little 'oops !'
- that's incontinence and it needs something - like an adult diaper or an incontinence liner ....or ...
Then there's more moderate/heavy incontinence. The physically challenged, or elderly, frequently develop problems related to incontinence, which can be embarrassing & difficult for all involved. Incontinence products & incontinence clothing are designed for those living with this issue, to give everyone dignity & peace of mind.
CONVENIENCE - EASY & DISCREET
There's a stigma attached to incontinence, and those who live with the issue know this. This stigma can lead to embarrassment when buying adult diapers , bladder control products & incontinence supplies in-person.
