Contrary to what many believe, incontinence issues don’t just affect the elderly; it is actually prevalent amongst all age groups, genders, cultures and backgrounds.
A large problem that people with incontinence issues face is with their clothing. Finding regular underwear clothing, mattress and chair protectors, as well as swimwear, can quite often be difficult with a lack of options available. At Caring Clothing, we aim to provide high-quality options which cater exactly to the needs of those suffering from bladder or bowel problems. We also ensure that comfort and functionality is always top of mind in everything we offer.
To begin though, what is incontinence?
Incontinence is a term used to describe the accidental or involuntary leakage of urine or stool. Although many people with continence issues become embarrassed around the subject, it’s surprising to know that over 5 million Australians experience bladder or bowel control issues. This is almost one in six people.
Having difficulties with controlling bowel or bladder movements should not be something that causes a person to stay at home; there are actually many things out there that help either help to control or even manage the issue.
A big problem …
Although incontinence and continence problems can have a considerable impact on the individual’s quality of life, there are still so many people that don’t seek help. The embarrassment of the issue will quite often lead them to keeping it to themselves. “70% of people with urinary leakage do not seek advice and treatment for their problem
“ – (https://www.continence.org.au/pages/key-statistics.html) As hard as it may be to talk about incontinence and continence problems, there are so many groups and organisations that are set up to provide support, advice and assistance.
When it comes to leaving home, something that crosses the mind of a lot of people with continence issues is not knowing what to wear below. For this reason, it’s important to search for some high-quality and comfortable clothing that caters for incontinence.
Generally speaking, you may want to find some products that are highly absorbent, reusable, machine washable and adaptive. Depending on what activities you might be doing, you may also want to find something that is also waterproof. This is why it’s essential to have access to a well-stocked and reputable specialised clothing provider.
