Urological insoles for urinary incontinence
Their shape resembles sanitary pads, but they differ in the degree of absorbency. Even the best sanitary napkin can leak urine. What’s more, it does not protect against the release of unpleasant odors – urological inserts, however, do.
Incontinence pads are available for men and women – both models differ in shape, which is adapted to the different anatomy of both sexes. When choosing, it is worth paying attention to details, such as side covers that protect against urine leakage – for example, Seni Lady insoles have them.
The insoles are a product intended for people with light to moderate urinary incontinence. When reaching for the product, it is worth choosing the absorbency that suits our needs – depending on whether the urination is light and happens rarely or more often. If you drop a few drops, thin pads will suffice. With more frequent episodes of letting go, more absorbent variants should be used.
Absorbent panties for adults
They are more absorbent than insoles. They are recommended for people struggling with NTM of medium and heavy intensity. Absorbent panties do not differ much from ordinary underwear in terms of appearance and method of putting on, thanks to which they allow you to maintain comfort and discretion.
Absorbent pants allow you to lead an active lifestyle without the risk of urine leaking out during exercise. Thanks to them, seniors can lead their current lifestyle, despite urinary incontinence. You can easily perform everyday activities in them: go for a walk, go shopping or see a doctor. Even if you do pass urine during this time, the absorbent panties will keep you dry and protect your clothes from stains. Absorbent panties are also invisible under clothing. They fit snugly, ensuring discretion, comfort and effective protection against leaks.
Absorbent pants should absorb both urine and unpleasant odors well – this is guaranteed by Seni Active absorbent pants, available in pharmacies and medical stores. The material from which they were made is also important – they should not cause burns or sensitize. In the case of this product, it is also important to adjust the size of absorbent panties to a specific person – because they resemble underwear in their form, it is necessary to adjust them properly. When going shopping, it is worth measuring your waist and hips circumference beforehand and compare the dimensions with the guidelines shown on the packaging. Absorbent pants come in various absorbency variants, which should also be adjusted individually depending on the needs.
Urinary incontinence care cosmetics
The skin of people with urinary incontinence is prone to irritation and burns. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly cleanse and protect the skin with specialized cosmetics for people with NTM. Moist wipes are especially useful here, with which you can clean the skin during each visit to the toilet. After washing the skin, it is worth applying a protective cream with arginine, which will protect the skin against chafing. They are available in pharmacies barrier creams for people with urinary incontinencewhich additionally eliminate unpleasant odors (e.g. Seni Care arginine barrier cream).
If the skin develops chafes, it is recommended to use a cream with zinc oxide, which supports the regeneration of the skin and protects it from the irritating effect of urine. It is worth reaching for a cream that additionally contains ingredients with a nourishing and soothing effect.
