Men and women experience urinary incontinence, and at different ages. Leakage occurs in every third woman after childbirth, every tenth man after 60 years and in more than half of bedridden patients. Incontinence can develop for completely different reasons: from hormonal to traumatic. Diapers and pant diapers, as well as care aids, help make hygiene easier. In this article we will figure out how to choose them correctly.
Urinary incontinence: when hygiene products are needed
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary release of urine from the urethra. It can be temporary or permanent, depending on the causes of the pathology: stress, urgency, bedwetting (enuresis) and others.
The causes of the disease and treatment are determined by the doctor. And in order to maintain a normal lifestyle or make it easier to care for a bedridden patient, special products have been created - diapers and panties for adults. Some of them are practically invisible under clothing and allow you to play sports, others reliably protect a bedridden person from leaks.
You need to choose the appropriate products based primarily on the degree of incontinence. Most often there are three:
1. Mild degree - up to 50 ml of urine in 3-4 hours.
2. Average degree - 100-200 ml of urine in 3-4 hours.
3. Severe degree - more than 300 ml of urine in 3-4 hours.
Hygiene products are needed when the problem causes discomfort. For people with mild incontinence, urological pads are suitable. For people with moderate leakage, pant diapers are suitable; for people with severe leakage, diapers are suitable.
A lot depends on your lifestyle. For example, it is better for an active person with a moderate degree of illness to choose pant diapers, for a bedridden patient - diapers.
Pantie diapers: who will suit them and how to choose them
Pantie diapers will help you maintain your usual lifestyle. They are easy to put on and take off, they are almost invisible under clothing, but at the same time they reliably protect against leaks. You can wear them both in the hospital and at home, at work or on the street.
Who is best suited:
1. for women in the postpartum period (convenient to take to the maternity hospital),
2. men and women in the postoperative period who are able to take care of themselves
3. active men and women experiencing urinary incontinence for other reasons.
Pantie diapers are worn like regular underwear due to wide elastic bands and are removed using tear seams on the sides. They are also thinner than regular diapers, so they can easily be hidden under clothing.
When choosing a product, pay attention to absorbency and materials. These nuances can protect against leaks, irritations and even infections. For example, panty diapers YokoSunfor adults contain a Japanese absorbent that instantly absorbs moisture and leaves the skin dry. Frills on the sides will protect against leaks during activities, and due to the air channels, pant diapers provide air circulation, protecting against diaper rash.
The size is also important - the wrong one can lead to leaks. To choose the right one, measure your waist (about two centimeters below the navel) and select the size based on the resulting values.
Here is the size range of YokoSun pant diapers:
1. 80-120 cm – size M,
2. 100-140 cm – size L,
3. 130-170 cm – size XL.
If your waist size is close to the upper limit, it is better to choose a larger size.
Diapers for adults: who is suitable and how to choose
Diapers can reliably protect against leakage of large volumes of urine. Therefore, they are slightly thicker and differ in the way they are put on.
Who is it suitable for:
1. for men and women in the postoperative period, when independent care is difficult
2. bedridden patients.
Diapers for adults are open, that is, they are put on with Velcro. By the way, YokoSun diapers are reusable - convenient if you don’t succeed in putting them on the first time.
When choosing the right ones, the same nuances are important: they must be absorbent, breathable, and protect against irritation. YokoSun diapers for adults also use Japanese absorbent and breathable materials. Like panty diapers, they are made from hypoallergenic materials, without dyes or flavors.
The comfort of those caring for a bedridden person is also important for nursing. That's why YokoSun diapers have a full indicator - it will change color when the diaper is full, and also have disposal tapes.
The right size will protect against leaks. It is also selected based on waist size in centimeters, but the size range differs from panty diapers.
Here is the size range of YokoSun diapers for adults:
1. 75-112 cm – size M,
2. 100-150 cm – size L,
3. 130-170 cm – size XL.
Nappies and wet wipes - for the care of bedridden patients
Additional hygiene products can make caring for bedridden patients easier. For example, disposable diapers and cleansing wet wipes.
1. Disposable diapers for the care of bedridden patients
They are needed to avoid accidental leakage during diaper changes or during air baths to give the skin a rest.
Regular children's plus sizes will do. Disposable diapers YokoSun 60 by 90 cm are the best option. They reliably absorb moisture, do not cause allergies and are attached to the surface using Velcro.
2. Wet wipes for adult care
After each diaper change, the skin should be cleaned. It is difficult to wash the patient every time, so wet wipes will come to the rescue.
It’s also convenient to use children’s ones. For example, YokoSun baby wipes consist of 99% purified water, do not contain alcohol, preservatives, or fragrances - which means they do not cause irritation.
Many people experience urinary incontinence. It can cause great discomfort, disrupt your lifestyle and even cause psychological problems. Proper care will help you avoid all this - one that will not limit, but will gently correct the problem.
YokoSun products are created according to these principles. You can choose a product from a Russian brand with Japanese quality that is right for you at marketplace, as well as in supermarkets and stores near your home.
