Save Money with Washable Incontinent Pads

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

There’s no doubt about it; suffering from incontinence can be expensive. One way to cut down on the expense associated with being incontinent is to consider the use of washable incontinent pads.

Incontinence products generally come in two varieties: disposable or washable (reusable). While many people prefer to use disposable products, because they can simply be disposed of when soiled, there are a growing number of people who choose to use washable products in order to save money.

Washable incontinent pads are often teamed with washable incontinent pants. These products are made of comfortable, breathable materials that are highly absorbent. Washable incontinent pants often look and feel like normal underwear, which is a large part of their appeal. As the incontinence market has grown, so have the styles and features of products. For example, men’s washable incontinence pads and pants now come in styles that appeal to men, such as boxer style briefs. Women have not been forgotten- manufacturers realize that women desire products that are discreet and look natural under any type of garment they choose to wear.
More and more people are going green, and buying washable incontinent pads and pants is one way that consumers can help the environment. By cutting down on waste, buying washable products can assist people who care about the environment by allowing them a choice.

DryForLife understands that people with incontinence want to have a choice in the products they use to cope with incontinence, and that people want value for their money. DryForLife offers a wide range of products, including washable incontinent pads, which are comfortable to wear, absorbent, discreet and cost-effective. DryForLife is also proud to carry the full line of Tena products to offer their valued clients a wider choice in incontinence products.

Incontinence Pads for Men

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Although women are affected by urinary incontinence more often than men, there are plenty of men coping with incontinence on a daily basis. Although anatomy differs between the sexes, both men and women need incontinence products that they can depend on. Incontinence pads for men are designed with men in mind, taking into account their unique needs.

Incontinence pads for men are not much different than those designed for women in terms of absorbency. They are generally made of the same materials. The major difference between incontinence pads for men and women is that incontinence pads for men are designed to absorb urine near the front of the pad, while female incontinence pads are designed to absorb urine in the middle and back of the pad.

For example, DryForLife’s Male Guards for Men are shaped pads with an adhesive backing to help them stay in place. They are designed to look and feel natural and are suitable for light urinary incontinence. Super Absorbent Stick-On Pads for Men provide extra absorbency. They are thicker for moderate incontinence and can be worn in most any pant discreetly.

Some men may prefer to wear incontinence pants with built-in pads. The advantage of these is that they are washable, which may be more economically feasible for some. They can be washed quite easily in the washing machine. These incontinence pads for men may not be suitable for heavy incontinence. Some incontinence pants are designed for use with disposable incontinence pads for men, and some may find the disposable option more appealing, albeit slightly more expensive.

Nowadays, there are many options in incontinence pads for men. DryForLife has a full product line of incontinence products designed specifically with men in mind. DryForLife values your privacy; for this reason, incontinence products can be ordered online and delivered right to your door, saving you the hassle of shopping for incontinence products in the store. View our full line of DryForLife incontinence products to find a solution for your incontinence needs.

Postponing the Need for Incontinence Pads for Women

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Urinary incontinence affects one in three women over the age of sixty, and women are twice as likely as men to develop problems with incontinence. Women are commonly afflicted with stress incontinence, which occurs as a result of weakened pelvic floor muscles. These muscles are weakened as a result of pregnancy, childbirth or menopause. Urge incontinence and overflow incontinence can also occur as a result of nerve damage to the bladder, kidney stones, infection or spinal damage. There are any number of different causes for a woman’s involuntary urination prompting the need for incontinence pads for women.

However, a Swedish study that was published in an issue of Fertility and Sterility draws a strong connection between oral contraceptive use and a measurable decrease in incidents of urinary incontinence among women approaching menopause. The study was conducted as a web based survey. The surveyors questioned over 10,000 women from the Swedish Twin Registry who were older than twenty three and younger than fifty. The line of questioning was interested solely in the connection that oral contraception has with any increase or decrease of urinary incontinence. The study found that as women used birth control their risk of suffering from symptoms of stress incontinence, urge incontinence or a combination of the two was severely diminished. Overactive bladder sufferers also realized a reduction in their symptoms, but not enough to consider oral contraception helpful in controlling the symptoms for an overactive bladder.

What is interesting about this study is that up until this point most other studies concluded that administering hormones to patients generally worsened their condition instead of improving it. Therefore, what researchers have discovered is that hormones have a completely different effect on younger women than they do on older women, because when the hormones are administered to perimenopausal women the symptoms of urinary incontinence noticeably improved.

Oral contraceptives have long been known to combat bacterial vaginosis and offer protection against pelvic inflammatory disease, and now they are showing promise in the treatment of some types of urinary incontinence in older women. Since hormones affect virtually every part of your body, you want to always consult your physician before considering taking oral contraception. So, if you are an older woman suffering from urinary incontinence, rather than simply stock up on incontinence pads for women, you may want to talk to your doctor about taking birth control pills to manage your urinary incontinence situation. And as you are getting your problem under control, remember that DryForLife has been helping their customers find just the right products for over forty years, and we offer speedy and discreet shipping.

Try a Variety of Products Like Tena Pads to Manage Adult Incontinence

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

More a symptom than a disease, urinary incontinence can be permanent or temporary, severe or mild. With the help of products like Tena pads, you can manage adult incontinence in whatever way works best for you. Incontinence can be the harbinger of an underlying medical condition, or it can be caused by a daily habit, and to help you determine the root of your incontinence you will want to enlist the help of a medical professional.

Urinary incontinence can be temporary and be exacerbated by a medication or even food and drink. There are also easily treatable medical conditions that may cause incontinence. Adult incontinence can also be caused by an underlying physical problem or change in the body, which can cause a long term, persistent condition.

Tena pads are designed in styles for men and women, work perfectly with Tena washable pants or regular underwear, and come in 4 different levels of protection including light, moderate, heavy and extra heavy. The Tena pad is shaped with soft elastic into a natural shape that hugs the contours of the body collecting wetness by wicking it away from the body into its absorbent layers. These incontinence pads are designed to absorb large amounts of liquid very quickly. Since the pad closely hugs the body, its fit is comfortable and discreet. Tena pads stay securely seated in either regular underwear or Tena pants. These pads are constructed with a polymer that is extremely absorbent and turns liquid into a gel for the ultimate in protection.

When combining Tena pads with special undergarments like the Tena for Men pouch pants, the Tena pad can offer very effective incontinence management. It is ideal for light or heavy flow urinary leakage. Tena pads come in a variety of styles that can work with regular undergarments and other styles that are designed to work in special Tena undergarments like the Tena for Men pouch pants.

When you are managing a problem with urinary incontinence it is always wise to try several varying combinations of pants and pads to find the most effective and comfortable combination for your particular problem.

Dealing with urinary incontinence can be quite a challenge, and it can range from being a temporary inconvenience to a chronic condition. Regardless of the level of your incontinence problem, Tena pads have an absorbency level that will work for you, and as you try different combinations of products to find which ones best manage your condition, it is a good idea to test out a variety of products to asses which ones you like and which ones you do not. DryForLife has been helping people successfully manage incontinence for over forty years, and if you are not sure what products will work best for you, it may be a good idea to start with a “Money Back Sample Pack”, which lets you try a selection of different products to contrast and compare. All of these products can be ordered discreetly online for immediate shipping.

Why Not Use Sanitary Towels for Bladder Weakness?

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Many people, both men and women, try to use sanitary towels and pads in the initial management of bladder weakness. Although this may seem like a perfectly reasonable solution to the problem of bladder weakness, it seldom has a happy ending.

Why? The simple answer is that these products are not designed to handle urine- they were designed to handle a different consistency of fluid. For this reason, those who attemp to use menstrual period products to manage bladder weakness often experience embarrassing leakage.

There are many products available to manage bladder weakness, ranging from absorbent pads that can be inserted into undergarments, to disposable undergarments, to reusable undergarments that can be washed many times over. Products should be chosen with your lifestyle, and wardrobe,  in mind. You may find it convenient to have more than one type of product available, such as pads and undergarments, to suit your changing needs.

Bladder incontinence need not mean the end of your life as you know it. With the proper products, you can continue to live your life, secure in the knowledge that your bladder weakness products will protect you wherever you go, and whatever you choose to do.

Adult Incontinence Products

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Are you confused about the many adult incontinence products available? There are so many to chose from that choosing the right product to suit your needs can be overwhelming. There are, however, some things you should keep in mind when choosing incontinence products, such as absorbency, comfort, and cost. As well, incontinence products should suit your lifestyle.

Incontinence pads can be disposable or washable, and may be designed to wear alone or with incontinence pants. They should be made of material that absorbs the amount of urine you need it to without allowing moisture to lay against your skin, where it can cause irritation or infection. They should be comfortable and contoured to fit well, without being too bulky.

Incontinence pants can also be disposable, or may be washable with a pouch to place a pad. The type of incontinence pants you choose will likely be determined by your lifestyle. There are many types of incontinence pants that are made to resemble normal underwear. The qualities you should look for are a good fit, adequate absorbency, and discreetness.

With the myriad of adult incontinence products available today to choose from, you should be able to find a product that suits your needs and allows you to live your life without being overly concerned about the accidental leakage of urine. In short, you should be able to “wear them and forget them”.
