Women's Incontinence Products-Inexpensive Intervention

Incontinence affects people from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender and social status. The involuntary voiding of urine during an activity or even at rest disturbs the normal functions of a person.  This is not a disease in itself but a symptom of different urinary disorders often caused by weakening of the walls of the urethra, dysfunction of the urinary sphincter or prolapsed pelvic organ more prevalent in pregnant and overweight women.

Women's incontinence is a sensitive issue not every woman is comfortable with. This problem can be embarrassing and causes discomfort and inconvenience specially in working women and female athletes.  More often than not, many women have the habit of holding a full bladder longer that they should and this habit aggravates the weakening of the uterine wall. Cutting off the urine in midstream also contributes to the problem. The weak bladder cannot hold the urine for a longer period of time, often voiding during the rush to the bathroom or in the middle of the night. This incontinence disrupts sleeping patterns causing more problems in the process.

But women need not worry anymore. In recent years the market has come up with affordable product that is specially designed to cater to every woman's needs.  From extra absorbent panty liners and pads to specially designed panties, women now have a wide range of products to choose from. The incontinence underwear is an innovation of discreetly padded panties designed to prevent embarrassing leaks, and the highly absorbent pads are hypo- allergenic and sterile to prevent pruritus.
    
Another one of women's incontinence products is the self –help training kit in DVD and printed manual format. This kit contains step-by-step instructions in doing the correct Kegel Exercises, a known pelvic floor workout routine.  These exercises help in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and prevent prolapsed uterine wall.  Repeated contraction of the muscles that control the flow of urine for 3-4 seconds in 10-15 repetitions everyday can be done anywhere any time without anyone noticing it. This routine works if done properly and regularly.

Women with urinary incontinence can lead a full, normal life despite the discomfiting "leaky bladder". No more embarrassing leaks, no more mad dash to the restrooms and no more fitful sleeps at night. Self-confidence is restored and self-esteem is regained, anxiety is managed and life goes on, no small thanks to incontinence products that have made a world of difference.
