Understanding Incontinence Products
Incontinence is a condition where people have difficulty controlling their bladder or bowels. It is a common condition among women of various age groups.
When it comes to managing incontinence, we provide a range of incontinence products for women, each that come with different absorbency levels and sizes to suit their needs.
Some incontinence
pads are ideal for slight to moderate incontinence, while others provide
greater protection for moderate to heavy incontinence. You can choose from
unisex products, meaning that they are designed to comfortably fit both men and
women, or products in a more feminine and discreet design to fit seamlessly
into your underwear drawer.
The Best Incontinence Products for Women
Factors to Consider When Choosing Incontinence Products
When choosing an incontinence product, it is important to take certain factors into consideration. a woman’s needs and preferences, such as the severity of incontinence, lifestyle, and activity level will determine the appropriate absorbency level which is crucial to ensure effective leakage protection. Comfort, fit, and discretion are also key considerations, as they contribute to overall feeling and protection.
Another factor to consider when choosing the right
product is through maintaining comfort and skin integrity. Choosing products
made with breathable materials that prevent irritation and promote good hygiene
is vital. We also recommend using a barrier cream to protect the skin whilst wearing
incontinence pads. Alternatively, we offer a zinc oxide cream with an anti-inflammatory effect that also
helps in soothing the skin.
Choosing the Right Type of Product
When selecting a product, it is important to consider your needs. Making the right choice can enhance your quality of life. For women who have very little mobility, using an all-in-one slip style product is easier for the carer and the person to change and fit.
For women who are able to use the toilet independently, MoliCare Lady Pants may be more appropriate.
Choosing the right size
Accurate measurement and sizing are crucial
for comfort when using pants or briefs, regardless of what type of incontinence
product someone wears. Taking waist and hip measurements will help determine
the appropriate product size for them. To help with managing incontinence, we
have a useful guide on the right treatment options for incontinence.
The Right Absorption Capacity
When choosing the right product, you should also consider the absorption capacity based on the amount of urine leakage, which can vary throughout the day due to fluid intake, diuretics, and pad changing frequency. Additionally, ask yourself whether the toilet is within easy access. You should assist them in reaching the bathroom if not. Wearing an incontinence product should not be seen as a substitute for regular toileting.
Remember, using incontinence pads with higher
absorption capacity than necessary can lead to increased costs and waste. It's
best to choose products that meet the needs without exceeding the required
level of absorption.

The Importance of Quality
In addition to selecting the right size and absorbency level, it is important to consider the following factors when choosing an incontinence product:
● Comfort: Choose a product that is comfortable to wear, providing ease of movement and a comfortable fit.
● Gentle on the skin: Look for incontinence products for women with soft materials that are gentle on the skin, minimising the risk of irritation or discomfort.
● Dryness and leak protection: Opt for products that keep the skin dry and provide effective protection against leaks.
● Breathability: We offer comfortable and breathable incontinence pads, which allow for air circulation, promote skin health, and neutralise odours.
How often a product should be changed depends
on a person’s needs. For example, a woman with fragile skin or bowel incontinence needs to change more frequently, while a
person with healthy skin and mobility issues may prefer less frequent changes.
Creating a Care Plan
When it comes to incontinence products for women, it is important to include the right toileting program and choose the most suitable product type, size, and absorption level in everyone’s care plan. Adapting changing routines to meet specific needs may take time, but the benefits are worth it.
By using a correctly fitted incontinence pad, implementing appropriate changing and toileting routines, women can experience improvements in their quality of life, including:
● Protection against leakage
● Relief from odours.
● Improved skin health.
● Comfort.
● Enhanced personal dignity.
Moreover, a properly fitted pad can positively
impact the workload for carers. Optimised care procedures result in fewer
product changes, reducing waste and improving efficiency. Remember, no one is
alone with incontinence.
Incontinence can affect women of any age! Make sure to know how to handle incontinence during and after pregnancy.
