Incontinence is a common health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. According to the National Association for Continence (NAFC), one in five people over age 40 live with incontinence, urgency symptoms, or an overactive bladder. While it is most common in older adults, people of all ages may experience bladder or bowel leakage.
Despite how common it is, about 70% of people never seek help. Many feel embarrassed or ashamed, and others struggle with the challenges of buying supplies in public. At APA Medical, we understand these concerns. That is why we make it simple and discreet to buy incontinence products online.
Understanding your incontinence level
Choosing the right product starts with knowing your level of leakage. This helps ensure comfort, protection, and dignity.
- Minimal to light incontinence: Leakage may occur when sneezing, coughing, or exercising. Pads or male guards often work well.
- Moderate incontinence: You may feel a sudden urge but leak before reaching a restroom. Pull-up underwear or briefs may be more supportive.
- Heavy incontinence: Leakage may happen without sensation, or mobility challenges may prevent timely bathroom use. Disposable briefs or higher-absorbency products are often recommended.
Finding the right size
Sizing for incontinence products does not always match your pant or underwear size. Correct sizing helps prevent leaks and ensures comfort.
- Pull-up underwear: Use your height and weight to find the right fit.
- Tabbed briefs: Measure your waist circumference for accurate sizing.
- Bladder pads: Choose based on length and absorbency. A good starting point is around 11 inches with moderate absorbency.
- Chucks (underpads): Select size and absorbency based on your level of incontinence, adjusting as needed.
