The Low Down on Male Incontinence Pants
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011Disposable Incontinence Pants for Adults
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010Many adults suffering from incontinence shy away from using disposable incontinence pants. They may feel as though disposable incontinence pants are too similar to infant diapers for comfort, or they may feel as though disposable incontinence pants cannot possibly be discreet underneath their clothing. The fact of the matter is that millions of people wear incontinence pants with no one the wiser!
Today’s disposable incontinence pants are made of materials that are comfortable against the skin and are absorbent enough to handle any level of incontinence. They are meant to be worn discreetly under virtually any type of clothing and can be easily changed and disposed of when they become soiled. Many people enjoy the security that disposable pants provide, discovering that pads alone do not afford the same level of comfort, discreetness and security.
These days, one does not need to be locked in to choosing only one type of incontinence pants. There are several varieties of incontinence pants to choose from. Some incontinence pants are meant to be used with a pad, providing extra security when needed, while others are worn like normal underwear. People can choose between disposable incontinence pants and washable incontinence pants, depending on preference. Disposable incontinence pants may be slightly more expensive, but may be preferred to washing incontinence pants. Some people prefer to use both types of incontinence pants, alternating them according to need.
Styles of incontinence pants also vary widely. For women, incontinence pants may be made of polycotton, PVC or mesh; for men, incontinence pants can be chosen in brief or boxer style. The variety of incontinence pants currently available offers a wide range of choice to persons suffering from incontinence.

Staying Positive and Supportive when Dealing with Bedwetting Enuresis
Saturday, May 1st, 2010Enuresis is the clinical name for releasing urine from the bladder, and nocturnal enuresis or bedwetting enuresis is simpply known as bedwetting. Generally, once a person is past the age of five, they have attained full bladder control during the daytime and at night. Primary bedwetting enuresis refers to a child who has never been toilet trained, and secondary bedwetting enruesis refers to a child who was toilet trained for at least six months and is now wetting the bed during the night.
Up until about the age of six bedwetting is very common in children. About twenty percent of five and six year old children continue to wet the bed, and boys are far more likely to have the problem than girls. For most children that continue to wet the bed after the age of six, there is no specific reason that doctors can point to as the cause. There seems to be a genetic link to the problem, because about three quarters of children who wet the bed have a sibling or parent who suffered from the same problem. Since it is passed through a family more often than not, researchers have finally found a genetic predisposition for bedwetting enuresis.
While the genetic predisposition for bedwetting exists, it can also have social, medical or psychological roots. For example, a medical problem could consist of diabetes, kidney disease or chronic constipation. Social and psychological causes could be triggered by problems at school or an unstable home life. There are also problems that children generally outgrow, and some children just take a little longer than others. For example, some kids are simply, really heavy sleepers while others take a little longer than normal to develop full control of their bladder muscles. Problems can also occur when a child’s system does not produce enough antidiuretic hormone, which concentrates urine during sleep so that urine volume is greatly reduced during the night. A medical examination can determine if treatment is indicated.
There are many different ways that you can go about helping your child deal with their bedwetting enuresis problems, and while you work through the process remember to stay positive an encouraging. By finding quality products that help to make dealing with accidents less traumatic you can go a long way towards maintaining and repairing your child’s self confidence. At DryForLife we help our customers find the perfect products, like a mattress cover, to manage bedwetting situations, and selections can be discreetly delivered right to your front door.

Incontinent Supplies Help with Management
Sunday, March 28th, 2010When you first realize that you are incontinent you may feel a little isolated and worried, but urinary incontinence is far more common than you may think. Incontinence can range from light to heavy, and which incontinent supplies you use will certainly depend on your lifestyle and your level of incontinence. If your incontinence is interfering with your daily living, discuss the problem with your doctor, because there are many different treatments available which can help you manage the situation. Your health care practitioner is also a good source for recommending incontinence products that will suit your lifestyle.
Depending on your activity level, you may use several different products to manage your incontinence. For example, during your early morning workout, you may want to use a disposable absorbent pad that is very absorbent. Then when you are off to the office, you may want to select a more comfortable pair of cloth incontinence pants to wear for the rest of the day. Or if you suffer from light adult incontinence, you may simply need a light panty liner for your day at work.
At night you may wish to use a mattress pad, and you can find them in disposable as well as washable versions. So at night you may choose to wear incontinence pants to bed, or for a light and intermittent problem it may be enough to have an absorbent pad on your mattress.
When you are dealing with incontinence, you do need to remember that urine has a very distinct odour as it is exposed to the air, which you may not notice on yourself. So get in the habit of changing soiled pads and pants as soon as you can. For washable pads, make sure to store them in a sealed container until you they are washed to control odour. For disposable pads place them in a sealed, plastic bag before throwing them away to keep offensive smells to a minimum.
When you are selecting your wardrobe, if you are dealing with incontinence, make sure that you can remove your clothing quickly to minimize the chance of having an accident. So before wearing belts and buckles with complex fasteners, think about the cost of delay when you have the urge to go to the bathroom now. Knowing where the bathroom is and being able to get to the toilet quickly may make the difference between having an accident and staying dry.
When you are dealing with incontinence it is very helpful to have a reliable place to purchase your incontinent supplies, and at DryForLife we have been helping people find just the right combination or products to help them keep living a full and satisfying life.

Nobody Wants to Think About Fecal Incontinence
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Nobody likes to think about fecal incontinence, but it happens. And when it happens to you there is no choice but to think about it. If you are having trouble controlling your bowels, or if you have stool leaking as you pass gas, you are experiencing fecal incontinence.
While fecal incontinence is certainly more common in older adults, it can occur at any age. However, even in older adults, fecal incontinence should never be considered a natural byproduct of aging. When any type of unexpected leakage from the rectum occurs, it warrants a discussion with your doctor.
Fecal incontinence can severely impact a person’s life in that there may be embarrassment or shame connected with the condition. Many people, who where very social, withdraw from friends and family for fear of being humiliated. The thought of a public accident is enough to keep many fecal incontinence sufferers home. This isolation is a tragic byproduct of bowel incontinence, and it is why you want to discuss this problem with your doctor sooner rather than later.
With the help of your physician many times your symptoms can be lessened or relieved. There are many different causes for fecal incontinence, and your doctor can help you sort out the cause and recommend a course of treatment.
One of the top causes for fecal incontinence is constipation. This condition causes the rectum to become overloaded with hardened stool, and as this mass becomes lodged in place watery stool can seep out around it. This condition can stretch the rectum’s muscles weakening them so that they cannot confidently hold stool, and this results in fecal incontinence. At the other end of the spectrum from constipation is diarrhea, which also causes incontinence. When the stool is loose, it fills the rectum faster and leaks out. While you can suffer from diarrhea as a result of an illness like the flu, when the problem becomes chronic, it is considered to be fecal incontinence.
While constipation can cause muscle damage to the rectum, there are sphincter muscles at either end of the rectum which can sustain damage and also cause incontinence. These sphincter muscles can be damaged in childbirth and hemorrhoid surgery among other things. Along with muscle damage, nerve damage can also cause fecal incontinence. When the nerves, which sense the stool is ready to pass, do not send a message to the brain, you will never know that you have to go to the bathroom. Nerve damage can occur from injury or illness, which can also cause diminished storage capacity and incontinence.
If you are working with your doctor to manage fecal incontinence, there are some practical things that you can do to make your life a little easier. Always have a backpack with a change of clothes with you. Hopefully you will not need it, but if you ever have an accident, it can be a lifesaver. Know where the restrooms are in your day to day travels, so that when you need to relieve yourself, you know exactly where to go. Then to reduce the likelihood of needing an emergency toilet trip while you are out, always go to the bathroom just before leaving your house.
When you think an accident may be likely, wear disposable incontinence pads designed for fecal incontinence. By having the proper incontinence products available, you will be able to go about your day confidently. At DryForLife we have been helping people choose the best incontinence products for their particular situation, and we are always here to help.

The Right Incontinence Pant Can Make a Huge Difference
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Dealing with adult incontinence can be quite a challenge, and while millions of adults suffer from some sort of urinary incontinence, much of that suffering is done in relative silence. There is a natural tendency to feel a little bit ashamed over any sort of incontinence, and even when people know that the problem is medical, it can still leave them with low self-esteem and embarrassment. Many people who suffer from some sort of adult urinary incontinence begin to withdraw from social activities that they once loved, because they are afraid of humiliating, accidental urinary leakage in public. Unfortunately, by withdrawing from friends and social gatherings, they leave behind the very support system that can help them deal with the hand that they have been dealt.
If you are suffering from any type of incontinence one of the easiest ways to deal with this embarrassing problem is to have quality products that you can count on. Finding a good incontinence pad or pant is invaluable in the management of your urinary leakage problem. When you are looking for a good incontinence pant, make sure that you consider your lifestyle along with the level of protection that you need. Incontinence pants exist for every combination of activity and protection level that you could ever need. You may find that you need different levels of protection depending on the activity that you are engaging in, so you will be able to find a variety of options to help you manage your incontinence problem, whether you have complete loss of bladder control or simply have occasional, light leakage.
Because of the reluctance of most people to discuss their incontinence problems, many of them start managing their leakage problems with sanitary pads. Unfortunately, this type of pad is not designed to absorb a large amount of liquid, so you may just end up with soggy pants and chaffed skin. Undergarments and pads that are designed especially for urinary leakage can hold a volume of liquid, and they also help to keep your skin dry and healthy.
When you are evaluating different incontinence pants there are some characteristics that you should look for, so that you will have the best chance of managing your incontinence problem successfully. First of all your incontinence pant should be comfortable to wear and have a low profile, so that it is not visible under clothing. Then it is very important for the pad or pant to be absorbent enough for your level of incontinence, and it should fit your budget. Finally, when you are wearing your protective undergarment, you should feel confident and comfortable.
There are many different styles from which to choose, and you may even prefer different types of incontinence products for different types of activities. Incontinence pants come in washable and disposable styles, and you can find pants with pads build in or pants with a pocket in which to insert a pad. So you can tailor your incontinence pant to your needs for any specific place and time.
While no one would choose to be incontinent, if you are in the midst of managing this problem, then you will want to get familiar with all of the products that are available to make your life just a little easier, and DryForLife has been helping people successfully live with their incontinence for over forty years. You will find a wide selection of styles and levels of absorbency from which to choose, and they can all be purchased from the comfort of your home and delivered right to your front door.

Incontinence Mattress Pad for a Worry Free Slumber
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010If you have been out shopping for mattresses in the last several years, then you know how expensive they can be. So of course you want to protect your investment. Even if you do not suffer from any type on urinary incontinence your body still sheds moisture and dander during the night, so using a protective pad on your mattress is probably the best way to maximize its useable lifespan.
While a simple, waterproof, mattress pad will work for all beds, as you have family members with incontinence problems, you can determine if they need additional protection while sleeping. For example, for a bedridden patient where incontinence is an issue you may want to use heavy duty mattress covers or a plush, quilted or terry mattress cover to offer a comfortable, cozy sleeping surface to the patient. A supportive medical bed fleece may also offer some extra comfort to anyone who has to spend a lot of time in bed. These pads completely protect the bed while creating a soft sleeping surface.
There are pads available for any type of incontinence that may occur. So if you suffer from light or occasional incontinence you can find everything from disposable bed pads, to reusable quilted bed pads. For people with more severe cases of urinary incontinence you can also find duvet covers, pillowcase covers and quilted pads. You can also couple your mattress protection with incontinence pads or pants so that you can rest easy and get a good, night’s sleep without any worry of ruining your new mattress.
While incontinence is never a welcome condition, it can be managed by working with your medical professional and supporting your efforts with the proper incontinence products. While learning to manage your incontinence problems, using good a quality incontinence mattress pad will make the process less troubling. DryForLife has been providing incontinence products for over forty years and can help you with your needs. Products can be ordered online and discreetly delivered right to your home.

Intimacy and Incontinence
Sunday, September 6th, 2009The words “intimacy” and “incontinence” may not seem as if they should exist together in the same sentence–if you suffer from incontinence, you may feel less like being intimate with your partner. Fear of leakage of urine at an inopportune time may cause you to shy away from the physical aspect of your relationship with a significant other. Both women and men may feel embarrassed or ashamed if they suffer from incontinence. This does not need to be the case. There are a few things you can do to decrease the liklihood of incontinence during intimacy.
Decreasing your fluid intake for a few hours prior to engaging in intimacy with your partner will help to ensure that your bladder does not become overly full. Emptying your bladder just prior to intimacy will also decrease the chance of any leakage. Avoiding alcohol and caffeine can also assist you in avoiding the problem.
The biggest barrier to intimacy when one partner suffers from incontinence is lack of communication. You may find it difficult to broach the subject with your partner, but discussing the issue, your fears and your feelings will go a long way towards making you both feel more comfortable. Your partner may also have concerns, such as fear of causing discomfort. Chances are, you will both have some concerns in common, and getting them out into the open will help both of you to get past your fears. Open communication about the issue, along with a discussion regarding ways to make you both feel more comfortable, will boost your intimacy to a new level. Incontinence does not mean an end to intimacy; it simply requires honesty and openness in discussing how to approach and cope with the situation together.
