World Continence Week

Allanda, a leading provider of incontinence products, is celebrating World Continence Week.

World Continence Week (June 21-27), is a creation of the International Continence Society, and is designed to build awareness of incontinence issues and treatments. It’s estimated that more than 33 million individuals are affected by incontinence in the United States and about 6 million people in the United Kingdom.
Incontinence is not something people should be ashamed of or silent about and World Continence Week is all about giving individuals the tools they need to understand and manage their incontinence issues.
“Unfortunately, many incontinence sufferers are unaware of the treatment options and products available to them,” said Diane Newman of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Continence and Pelvic Health.

Allanda fully support this aim and hope that it help increase significantly both awareness of the prevalence of the condition and also helps people experiencing the condition better understand the many treatments and incontinence management products available to them.
