Incontinence does not only affect older people. Whilst it is more common in older adults, it can affect people of any age. The causes can be varied, including injury, surgery, neurological conditions, certain medications and even genetic factors. It is important to understand that incontinence is a medical problem that can occur regardless of age, and that there are effective solutions and treatment options available, regardless of age group.
- Choose the right product: Opt for incontinence products that have been specially developed for men and offer a slim fit.
- Adjust the size: Make sure you choose the right size for your incontinence products. Products that are too small can be uncomfortable and show under tight clothing, while products that are too large may not offer sufficient protection.
- Use small shaped pads: If you have mild incontinence, small shaped pads can be a discreet option. These are less noticeable and still offer sufficient protection.
- Wear tight underwear: Tight-fitting underwear can help to keep incontinence products in place and prevent them from slipping under tight clothing.
- Choose dark-coloured clothing: Dark colours and patterns can help to conceal any bulges or stains caused by incontinence products, especially during sport.
- Train your pelvic floor: A strong pelvic floor can help to improve bladder control and reduce the risk of leakage.
By following these tips and trying out different things, you can wear incontinence products discreetly and feel confident and self-assured at the same time.
Yes, with some forms of incontinence it is possible to leak urine during sexual intercourse. This can occur in particular with stress incontinence, where physical activities such as coughing, sneezing or even the pressure of sexual intercourse can lead to involuntary loss of urine. It is important to discuss this with a doctor in order to find suitable treatment options and support your sex life in the best possible way.
Sanitary towels are only intended to absorb menstrual bleeding. This comes out more slowly and in smaller quantities than urine. In addition, blood is thicker than urine. Conventional panty liners are therefore unable to absorb the amount of urine and are unsuitable for bladder weakness. Incontinence products, on the other hand, have a special absorbent core that absorbs urine quickly and reliably, traps it and prevents odour formation.
