• Sex – women are more likely to acquire urinary incontinence due to tons of different reasons, the most common are childbirth and menopause. However, men who have prostate problems are also at a higher risk of having overflow and urge incontinence.
• Age – when people age, the bodily functions and processes start to slow down and weaken. The same thing happens with the bladder. As people get older, the bladder muscles become weak and experiences difficulty in controlling urine. Hence, old age makes people susceptible to such condition.
• Obesity – being obese and overweight increase the pressure in one’s bladder and the muscles surrounding it. Hence, these muscles are weakened which allow urine leakage when one laughs, coughs or sneezes too much.
• Smoking – smoking results in a number of lifelong and even fatal diseases. One of the less serious results of smoking is adult incontinence as constant coughing brought about by chain smoking puts a lot of stress in one’s urinary sphincter. Longtime chain smokers experience urinary incontinence as well as having an overactive bladder (amongst tons of other illnesses that smoking brings).
• Vascular disease – if you have an extensive vascular disease, then you are at a higher risk of developing an overactive bladder, resulting to chronic incontinence.
• Participation in high-impact sports – while sports is good for the body, high-impact ones such as basketball, running and gymnastics can cause a series of incontinence episodes is healthy women, as these vigorous activities often put too much pressure on the bladder. However, there are no medical records that link high-impact sports with an increased risk of acquiring chronic incontinence.
• Other diseases – having kidney diseases or diabetes increases one’s chance of acquiring adult incontinence.

There are a lot of consequences brought about by urinary incontinence. As such, it is important to discuss with your doctor everything that you experience relating to the condition, no matter how trivial or embarrassing as it may seem. Why so? Firstly, your condition may just be a symptom of a more serious illness that can result in more serious (and even fatal) problems. This is especially true your incontinence is associated with the blood in your urine. Also, if your condition prevents you from doing your usual everyday activities and limit your interactions with other people out of embarrassment brought about by the condition. Lastly, old people who often rush to the toilet due to this condition may increase their risk of falling or slipping just so they can reach the toilet in time.

It is important to bear in mind that although this condition may not be totally harmful to one’s health, it can aggravate to more serious problems if neglected. Before that happens, make sure to ask for your doctor’s help to know everything about your condition. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

A lot of people suffer from a weak bladder and bowel incontinence; both men and women alike. Although this condition is very much curable nowadays, most sufferers are still embarrassed to discuss the problem with their physician. In fact, there are a lot who never spill out their condition even to their families until such time that the problem is already getting obvious. The thought of having this condition is already very embarrassing, let alone being discussed with someone who is knowledgeable enough about adult incontinence. Incontinence among adults is the condition of which a person does not have the ability to control bladder activities and bowel movements. There are two types of incontinence: the urinary and fecal incontinence.

Urinary incontinence is more prevalent as compared to the fecal incontinence. It is the condition of losing control over the bladder. It can happen to anyone at any age, at any time and affects both men and women. It is more common among people aged 50 and above. Some symptoms manifested by urinary incontinence includes having urine leaks, and excessing wetting. These symptoms are due to having an overactive bladder and a weak bladder muscles. It could also be due to blockage caused by enlarged prostate, multiple sclerosis, damaged nerves in the urinary system and other medical conditions. Urinary incontinence is subdivided into four subtypes: the stress incontinence, overflow incontinence, urge incontinence and functional incontinence. Urinary incontinence happen when the muscles in the bladder are too weak to keep up with the overactive bladder activity. If the muscles can no longer keep the bladder closed, patients may accidentally have urine leakage when they laugh, sneeze, cough or lift a heavy object. Most often, patients experiences a strong urge to use the bathroom, yet have a very little amount of urine. This is because of the overactive bladder. There are different treatments available for every type. Most of the options include bladder training, kegels exercise, certain medications and surgery in serious cases.

Fecal incontinence is a rare type of incontinence. It is a medical condition that is characterized by inability to control bowel movements and leaking. There are about 6 million Americans who suffer this condition. Just like urinary incontinence, people of any age can be affected by fecal or bowel incontinence, but it is more common among adults. It can be caused by several medical problems. Mostly it is due to a weak or damaged anal sphincter muscle and nerves. It can also be due to an absent storage capacity within the rectum, pelvic floor dysfunction and even diarrhea. People who suffer fecal incontinence experience a strong urge to defecate. This condition is very rare, yet it is much more serious that urinary incontinence. Thus, if you are suffering from bowel incontinence, immediately seek help from your primary doctor for treatment. There are a lot of treatments available for fecal incontinence. Among these are change in diet, medications and drugs, and bowel training. In some cases, you may undergo surgery to treat the problem especially if the condition is no longer curable by simple medications.

I think for me I never thought twice about wearing the Pad, Guard, Depend, Adult Diaper or what ever you want to call this item. I knew I needed it and was going to have to live with it, so I better make the best of it. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing fun or exciting about wearing an adult diaper, but you go forward with the cards you were given.

After my surgery, I first used a product called “Kroger Guards for Men”. My first thoughts of the product was, “these look nice and are comfortable”. The product was soft with ruffled edges. It also looked large enough to absorb as much liquid without spilling over and causing me an embarrassing moment. I can remember thinking at the time that an embarrassing moment was my biggest concern, not comfort. The Kroger Guards fit well, was comfortable, and dependable for long periods of time. In two years of using the Kroger Guards, I never experienced the embarrassing moment in public due to leaks. Don’t get me wrong, I never forget that I am wearing a guard, but I have accepted it and have learned to live with it.

As I said before, I am a very active person and I have found out that the more active one is the more often you have to change your guard. In order to change guards, I am always having to carry a spare guard in my back pocket of my pants. Because the Kroger Guards were large, the guard would be noticeable in my back pockets. That really didn’t bother me, but I started hearing my wife say “push the pad down into your back pocket”. When it finally came to some of my friends telling me the same thing, I felt I needed to look at making a change.

That is when I was introduced to the product called “Depend Guards for Men”. I found out right away that the guard worked just as well, felt just as good, and fit into my back pocket of my pants much easier. The Depend pad is smaller but is just as absorbent as the larger Kroger pad.

Wearing a pad for my incontinence is just part of my life now. I run three or four times a week, play golf during the spring and summer almost everyday, and ski during the winter months all the time wearing a Depend Guard to help deal with my incontinence. Being incontinent has not slowed me down, it is just something that I have had to add to my daily “Things To Do List”. I always carry an extra pad in my running bag, in my golf bag, in my ski bag and in the pair of pants I am wearing for the day.

There are other major differences between the baby diaper and their adult counterpart, baby diapers have a bikini-style fit and use singlewide tapes for both sides.  The reason that adult diapers are not cut this way is because adults have larger thighs. Therefore, an adult diaper is cut so that there is a better fit around the leg band. This snugger fit around the legs prevents leaks when sitting down. The snugger the diaper fits the overall better protection you will receive. Tena, is known for a much better than most other diapers on the market right now.

In order to have an honest review of these adult incontinence products it is very important to review some of the disadvantages or flaws. The largest flaw of adult diapers is clumping. This happens when the padding slides into crotch from the sides, front and rear. When this happens, it leaves you vulnerable to leaks because there is very little coverage remaining in the front and back of the diaper. Many of the store brand diapers have problems with clumping. The premium adult diapers are less likely to have an issue with clumping, for example, Tranquility, Molicare and Abena that we discussed earlier.

The negative review of adult diapers has put extra stress and embarrassment onto your condition.

It is very important that when you try anything new, a new type of continence adult diaper or experience with added protection, that you do so in the comfort of your home. It is very important that you have experimented and feel comfortable with the results of the product that you have chosen. One of the largest challenges that we mentioned above is changing in public. It is often difficult to manage this with privacy. And changing your diaper in a public restroom, you might also lack the space and time required to do a good good and make sure your incontinence product is fit properly to prevent leaks. It is important to remember that when changing your diaper that you also take the time to cleanse the skin. This is a very important step in order to keep your skin healthy. An anti-bacterial wipe works great for this type of use.

If you are unable to do a complete diaper change when away from home and if your skin is not sensitive and will allow it you can use a product like “Fresh Again Incontinent Odor Spray”. This type of product with reduce the oder from your urine. Also, if you are unable to do a complete diaper change, consider the option of just changing out an insert pad or liner (baby liners can be used for this). This can eliminate the frustration of changing the entire diaper but can offer a fresh and clean alternative. This is also a great way of cutting down on costs.

We mentioned the use of “tapes” earlier and it is important to point of that while in the past tapes were not also known to be reliable they have improved dramatically. Tapes have been known to unstick or pop off, loosening the diaper, or tear off the diaper completely. This can put you in a very uncomfortable position if you are out in public and don’t have another replacement one.

It is safe to say that almost any tape, can be it reused or not. Most tapes can be immediately peeled off and then re-positioned at the beginning. However, most of these tapes become set after they’ve been applied. If you are refasten the tape it can cause the diaper to leak. It is better if you don’t refasten the tape and if you have to use the restroom, slide the diaper down like traditional underwear. This will prevent the tape from malfunctioning and will reduce the risk of leaks.

If you do find that you are having to tape and reapply and are suffering the consequences of doing so, duct tape can be used because it is strong and sticks to every thing.  The negative of using something like duct tape is that is makes the diaper pretty unusable after the initial wear. But it will keep with diaper and tape secure for extended periods of time which can offer security and ease for people that are frustrated with the problem of tapes. Remember that is it much easier to slide the diaper down like traditional underwear, especially if you have applied duct tape to hold the diaper in place.

It is impossible to tell each person what type of adult incontinence product to use because each each person has a different level of incontinence, different body shape and different standards for comfortable. This article is mainly to discuss the many different options that are available and to share some of the pros and cons of each different method. Like suggested earlier, it is better for you to experiment in the comfort of your own home to find out what products or combination of products works best for your level of incontinence and your lifestyle choices.
