Choosing the proper Incontinence product
The incontinence is one of the common problems which originate with the aging process. The incontinence is also the most undesired condition with both the elderly and the care giver. The number of patients of multiple sclerosis, prostate cancer and other diseases contributing in incontinence has grown drastically in recent years. This has made incontinence a more common issue of almost every home. It has also contributed in emergence of some great brands which provide incontinence management products. There are so many incontinence products available in the market today under different brand names and various protection levels. These products are available in various fits and sizes and separately for males and females. It is sometimes quite confusing to find out the best among these products. Some of the things can be taken care which would prove helpful in choosing the right incontinence product for your needs.
The first thing to consider is the amount of urinary leakage while choosing the right diaper. Sometimes the incontinence patient suffers from stress incontinence which means leakage of drops of urine during some activity which applies pressure on the pelvic floor muscle like coughing and sneezing. A light leakage can be managed using a reusable cloth adult diaper. The reusable cloth diapers are made of cotton and it can be washed and dried. The fabric generally used in cloth diapers is flannel cotton and the covering layer are made from porous fabric which allows circulation of air to allow the moisture to escape which reduces the risk of diaper rash. The patients who face a low to moderate leakages the cloth diaper with Polyurethane Laminate (or PUL) covering can be prove to be a good option. The PUL layer allows the leakage to be absorbed inside but it holds the moisture inside the pad. Hence it provides dryness to the skin surface managing moderate amount of leakage safely.
The reusable cloth diapers could save you considerable amount of money but it is always troublesome to clean and maintain these diapers. Those who want complete freedom from washing and drying these reusable diapers the disposable diapers is a better choice. The disposable adult diapers are made of superabsorbent polymers which are designed to hold a large amount of leaks. The best part of using the disposable diaper is that even after absorbing a large amount of leaks these pads don’t appear bulky and maintain dryness. These disposable diapers are available in different sizes with easy to wear and take off styles to provide convenience to the patient and also to the care giver.
