Exploring the World with Incontinence

Here are some tips from the National Incontinence Blog:

• Wear an extra absorbent diaper with wicking capabilities and odor control like Tranquility ATN briefs.
• Use a booster pad to increase the absorbency of the brief.
• Bring extras of everything in your carry-on. “Everything” includes briefs, pads, wet wipes, underwear, pants, plastic bags, and diaper rash cream – anything you’ll need to ensure that you stay dry throughout your long flight.
• When booking your flight, get an aisle seat so that you don’t have to worry about disturbing your neighbors to use the lavatory.
• Be sure to stay hydrated and drink water. The air cabin on long flights gets extra dry as you ascent into the stratosphere, making you more dehydrated than usual. This can irritate your bladder and make you want to urinate more.
• If bladder control is really a problem, look for flights with layovers, rather than a direct flight. Unfortunately, this means your flight will be much longer, but the time between your bathroom breaks will be shorter.
