Adult Diaper Expert Helping You Deal With Incontinence

Incontinence Products For Overactive Bladder

We mentioned Molicare or Abena-X Premium diapers are a great solution for dealing with a overactive bladder. Before these Premium incontinence diapers hit the scene it was often suggested that people try to wear two diapers to give them more protection. You might have tried to use two diapers in the past and realized it is a lot of extra money and effort in order to reach the same results. There is a slight negative to these premium diapers, which is that, do bulge more so there is a trade off for more protection from an over active bladder. This can cause an issue depending on the type of clothing you wear. If you enjoying wearing tight clothing then these premium diapers could cause an issue with bulging and could make it less comfortable to be out in public. These extended wear premium incontinence diapers offer more independent; however, they have to fit your lifestyle and personal choices.

There is an incontinence product called Tranquility Topline that is considered a booster for added protection. This type of incontinence product adds absorbency to a standard brief style adult incontinence diaper. Tranquility topline fits better than other booster pads; however, can still cause leaks if the fit isn’t perfect.

The actual term “diaper” isn’t very commonly used in the industry. There are too many negative connotations associated with the term “diaper”. Many people automatically think infant or child.  Therefore, terms like “brief” and “undergarment” are more commonly used when referring to adult incontinence products. There are huge differences between these type of produce though and it is important to know the difference and know exactly what you are looking for.

There are several different types of incontinence which can include an over active bladder., which leads to different type of. For incontinence related to sneezing, exercising or coughing there are light protective adult incontinence products. For example, an insert or a pad; Abena Abri-San X-Plus is a great disposable incontinence pad that can be worn with regular underwear and is a great choice for light to moderate incontinence issues. There are negative to using light protective adult incontinence products, they are not as absorbent as a traditional adult incontinence diaper and do not offer the same leak protection.

Pads as well as drip collectors offer a very low level of protection, which works great for leakage of a few drops from an over active bladder.  Men that deal with an annoying dribble find that using a “sheath diaper” which is held in place by the underwear is a get alternative and offers just the right amount of protection. These pads and “sheath diapers” are small and discreet, so changing them while out in public is easy and they are easy to conceal on the way to the bathroom as well

The next level of protection for those people who have involuntary or uncontrollable bladder control issues, paralytic or giggle incontinence. The “brief-style” disposable adult incontinence diaper, for example the Abena Abri-Form X-Plus, is extremely absorbent and comfortable. The Abena Abri-Form X-Plus is constructed with four reusable tapes, leak guards, and a very absorbent core. Another great example of an adult incontinence product for mild to heavy incontinence issues is Attends Briefs Waistband. This product is considered an adult brief and consists of six tapes, leg gathers, and a very absorbent core. This type of adult brief is very discreet under clothing, offers good absorbency and is relatively secure.

Another option that offers more protection is the “undergarment”. These are larger, longer pads that cover from front waist to rear waist. They are generally wider than regular underwear pads to offer more protection. They can be worn alone, and attach by using elastic straps that button on. Some versions have a built-in waistband. The great thing about this type of adult incontinence produce is that concealment it very easy and there is little risk of bugling or clumping.  Another great advantage to this style of “undergarments” is that they offer and easy on-easy off versatility allowing the you to use the restroom with out too much trouble. This is a great option for moderate incontinence while still allowing comfort and security.

The easy on-easy off feature that is associated with the “undergarments” also extends to tape-on diapers as well. Product that use the elastic waist band are key for people who want to use the bathroom and use the waist band in order to pull on and off the disposable diaper. This gives people a sense of freedom and allows them to use the restroom and not have to untap and remove their diaper. This is extremely useful for males. It is possible for a guy to tighten the lower tapes on his diaper and leave the upper tapes looser to allow for the diaper to  be  pulled down in the front. That technique allows for use of a urinal.

The last type of protect that is out on the market is, “protective underwear”. This is a very popular pull-up adult incontinence diaper, for example the Abena Abri-Flex. This type of protection is very easy to pull up and down, allowing for easy bathroom trips. These are constructed with an elasticized crotch and breathable exterior mesh. However, “protective underwear” is less absorbed than “brief-style” diapers and are more prone to leaks. This style of diapers is actually based on the baby diaper, a step up from infant diapers but not quite all the way to underwear. And the adult diaper follows suit. They have the same look as underwear, they fell like underwear and yet it offers a high level of protection, like a diaper. And another great advantage is the pull on and pull off style which allows for easy bathroom trips.

The negative side to using these adult pull-ons diapers is the problem of changing completely when you have had an accident. Because they fit just like regular underwear, you have to take off your shoes and pants in order to change them. If this happens when in public it can be quite a hassle and stress trying to completely undress in a public restroom and forget about any privacy and going unnoticed. So it is very important to take this into consideration when opting to use this type of adult diaper. That is why it is so important to try each of these options out before hand. It is great to know exactly what you are going to encounter before you are forces to deal with a problem like these while out and about. You don’t want your first experience with incontinence products to be something negative, which could completely steer you away from using any of these products to help you deal with your overactive bladder.
