New Male Urinary Incontinence products

Although 1 in 10 of the male population over 65 experience urinary incontinence, until recently the taboos around male incontinence have been even greater than those surrounding the condition for women.

However, we are seeing this situation slowly changing, helped by an increasing number of products specifically designed for male use.

We’ve just added Lil for Men products to our male incontinence products range, both Lil for Men Extra and Lil for Men Super offer a large coverage area for extra security and are discreet and comfortable to wear.

These additions to our range supplement the recently relaunched Tena Men’s range which is now known as TENA Men. The packaging of these products has been changed to become more masculine, more discreet and more consumer-friendly although the product range remains the same, with Tena Men Level 1 and Tena Men Level 2 both available. The improved side elastics allow for greater comfort and ensure a better fit to the body. TENA Men incontinence pads also contain their unique Odour Control™ system that neutralises potential odours for complete confidence. The re-launch of Tena Men Level 1 sees the development of the product to become smaller and more discreet.

Tips on Purchasing Incontinence Products

With so many different products available nowadays that will manage incontinence it can prove difficult in determining exactly which ones to use. So in order for you to determine which sort of incontinence product you should be using we offer some guidelines below that you may find very helpful.

The things which you must be looking for when it comes to making purchase of such products are as follows:

1. What form of incontinence do you experience? E.g. Stress, urge and faecal incontinence all have different needs (e.g. high absorbency to cope with large amounts of liquid in a single episode for urge incontinence).

2. How easy are they to use? E.g. Can you put them on easily or will you need help? Products such as Belted All in One products are simpler for normal toileting than traditional All in One pads

3. Will they fit in comfortably with the kind of lifestyle that you like to lead? E.g. can they be removed easily? Pull up underwear is far easier for most mobile people.

4. How much comfort do they provide you with? E.g. a smaller incontinence product is more comfortable to be worn, even if it means slightly more frequent changing.

5. How durable are they? E.g. Would washable incontinence products suffice or do you need the extra absorbency of disposable incontinence products.

6. How much liquid can they retain before they need replacing?

Once you know the solutions to these questions then you can select the products that you feel are most likely to fit your needs well. Also of course you need to take into account your gender as the design of the product may differ for men and women.

So now you are going to buy some incontinence products but are still unsure exactly what to purchase? Here we offer a number of tips that you may find very helpful indeed.

Tip 1 – Don’t rush into purchasing the first product you come across it is worth spending some time doing some research into what is available. This doesn’t mean you have to spend hours going from one store to another instead why not look to see what is available by going online. There are various websites such as http://www.allaboutincontinence.co.uk/ that are experts in supplying such items and will provide you clear and concise specifics of how each product works.

Tip 2 – As you do carry out your research don’t limit yourself to one particular brand such as Tena. In this way you can get a better idea about how much the item you are considering purchase will cost. As you will soon discover the prices can vary quite a bit from one brand to another and you could end up saving yourself quite a tidy sum on your purchase by spending those few extra minutes doing some comparison shopping, or feel that the extra spent on a quality brand is worthwhile.

Tip 3 – It is important to know that the designers of incontinence products such as Tena and Lille don’t tend to use the same sizing systems. Plus the way that these products are made means that the way that they fit will differ quite a bit. So make sure that you check the size charts for the various products carefully to ensure that you get the right size that will fit well but also comfortably.

It is also a good idea to try several different products out before you make your final purchase for example by purchasing a incontinence sample pack.

Hopefully the tips we have offered above when it comes to purchasing incontinence products will ensure that you manage this kind of problem more effectively. So of course allowing you to lead the kind of lifestyle you want.
