Urine leakage or urinary incontinence affects millions of men and women of all ages. It is the loss of bladder control, which usually occurs when there is a problem with the muscles and nerves that help the bladder to hold or pass urine. When people resist the use of unisex adult diapers, urine leakage can disrupt a person’s day to day activities. • So, we have put together some strategies that can help you to minimize its impact on your daily life and help you cope with the day-to-day challenges of urinary leakage:
1. Pelvic floor exercises The muscles of your pelvic floor support your bladder and bowel. As these muscles weaken you begin to experience urine leakage. Pelvic floor exercises, which are also known as Kegel exercises, aim to strengthen your pelvic muscles, improve bladder control, and prevent urine leakage. You may also feel an urgency to get to the bathroom and experience leakage on the way which is why it is important to wear diaper pants for adults when exercising.
2. Maintain a healthy BMI Being overweight or obese increases an individual’s risk of developing urinary incontinence. Including more fruits and vegetables in your diet along with exercising regularly can go a long way in maintaining a healthy BMI.
3. Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption Alcohol and caffeinated beverages are known to increase urine production. Therefore, it is advisable to limit the consumption of these drinks if you suffer from urinary incontinence. Fizzy drinks, energy drinks, tea and hot chocolate also contain certain amount of caffeine, so cut down on these and replace them with fresh juices, water, or herbal teas.
4. Avoid lifting heavy objects Lifting heavy objects puts a strain on your pelvic floor muscles, so avoid it as much as possible. When you do need to lift something, such as picking up children or shopping bags, tighten your pelvic floor muscles before and during the lift. 5. Increase your water intake Drink a minimum of 6 to 8 glasses of fluid a day. People suffering from urinary incontinence often avoid drinking fluids, as they think that it causes more problems. However, not drinking enough fluids will make incontinence worse, as it reduces the bladder’s holding capacity. 6. Wearing a unisex adult diaper Unisex adult diapers are a good way to prevent frequent trips to the bathroom or urine leakage when outside. There are two types of diapers available in the market — tape style diapers & pant style diapers for adults in India. For people who are mobile, diaper pants for adults is highly recommended as it can be comfortably be worn underneath denims or trousers and allow a person to freely move around.
7. Using Disposable underpads for adults • To enjoy a good night’s sleep one can use disposable underpads for adults. These are designed to absorb liquid and allow a person to sleep without having to worry about spoiling the bed. • Hence we conclude by saying that though urine leakage or urinary incontinence comes with its set of challenges, following certain strategies such as wearing premium friends diaper pants which are specially designed for both men and women can help a person lead an active lifestyle without making any life-changing compromises.
