If you suffer from poor bladder and bowel control (incontinence), or care for someone who does, you'll be pleased to know that there is a wide range of products to help you manage bladder or bowel leaks and accidents.
Some products are re-usable while others can be thrown away easily. It may be worthwhile sampling a product first to check if it will meet your needs. Often you can obtain free samples by contacting the product company and asking for a sample to be mailed to you.
Types of products currently available include:
- Absorbent pads and pants
- Absorbent bed sheets and chair covers
- Condom drainage and catheters
- Products to assist toileting
For more information about these products read the brochure Continence Products, talk to your doctor or a continence advisor, or call the National Continence Helpline on 1800 33 00 66.
