What type of incontinence product is right for you?
Curious what incontinence supplies work best? Living with incontinence can be challenging, but there’s no need to let it hinder your daily life. The right incontinence product can help you, or a loved one in your care, feel confident and provide the freedom to continue enjoying your activities.
We’ll walk you through the various types of incontinence care products available, helping you make an informed decision that promotes both your physical and emotional well-being.
Understanding Incontinence:
Before exploring the product options, it’s essential to understand the different types of incontinence. Stress incontinence, urge incontinence and overflow incontinence all have distinct characteristics that influence your choice of products. From adult diapers to incontinence pads, Tranquility offers solutions for various incontinence types, ensuring that your specific needs are met.
Selecting the Right Product:
If you’re dealing with moderate to heavy incontinence, Tranquility’s disposable adult briefs are an excellent choice. They provide maximum absorbency and protection, allowing you to go about your day with confidence. These briefs are available in various sizes and styles, ensuring a snug fit for everyone. All of our briefs feature tape-tab sides, which allow for a customized fit.
For a more discreet option, Tranquility’s absorbent underwear offers protection in a design that resembles regular underwear. They are perfect for individuals with moderate to severe incontinence and come with tear-away sides for easy removal.
If your incontinence is mild, Tranquility’s pads and liners might be the ideal solution. A pad or liner is designed to fit discreetly within your regular underwear, providing comfort and security throughout the day.
Booster Pads are flow-through pads designed to add absorbent capacity to your primary disposable incontinence product. The flexible design allows for personalized positioning to add extra protection when and where you need it – ideal for pairing with protective underwear or brief-style products for urinary incontinence to catch excess urine.
They are small enough to carry in a purse or bag, and a great solution for adding more absorbency to capture urine and bladder leaks.
Tranquility is proud to be one of few brands who offer bariatric incontinence solutions. For larger individuals who struggle to control bladder muscles or experience bowel incontinence, we offer a brief that fits up to 5XL individuals. Our Topliner Contour Booster pads can be worn inside to add more absorbency.
Underpads can be placed on a bed, chairs or other furniture to keep it protected. If your or your loved one has incontinence and is at-risk to urinate overnight, place an underpad on top of the mattress for added security. Be sure to wear gloves when changing. Our underpads are not reusable.
Extra care items are the “accessories,” or extra items, that are helpful to include in your arsenal of tools to help properly control incontinence symptoms and care for delicate skin.
To keep skin healthy, we recommend using Tranquility Cleansing Wipes. The wipes are super soft, clothlike disposable wipes that are adult-sized, allowing for quicker cleanup. The wipes are paraben- and alcohol-free, enriched with aloe vera, chamomile and vitamin E, and gentle on sensitive skin. These wipes have cleansers built into the cloth itself, so additional cleansers are not necessary. The mild-scented, hypoallergenic cloths will not irritate, and they are perfect for thorough cleansing of any body surface. Easy to carry discreetly in a bag or purse!
For caregivers, we recommend wearing gloves for changing.
Eliminate the worry of skin breakdown by using our Tranquility ThinLiner Moisture Management® Sheets. These liners can be placed in between sensitive skin where moisture builds up and has the potential to irritate. Please note, they are not reusable.
Pads vs Diapers
When Pads Are the Best Choice
Experiencing challenges with bladder control? Pads are helpful for those with light urinary incontinence who experience urine leakage. Pads can be placed inside of “regular underwear” and help quickly absorb urine leaks. An adhesive strip helps keep the pad in place, quickly absorbing urine to keep skin dry when accidents or leakage happen. Women often experience symptoms of urinary incontinence or loss of bladder control during and after childbirth as muscles become affected, and they may benefit from wearing a pad to protect underwear.
When Adult Diapers Are the Best Choice
For men or women who experience moderate to heavy incontinence (i.e. low-to-complete-loss of bladder or bowel control, typically struggle to make it to the toilet), adult diapers are an ideal solution. Similarly, for those who need overnight protection, adding a brief or pull on to your incontinence supplies will help protect skin and help support you in managing incontinence. When someone needs higher absorbency levels in a product, a brief or pull-on disposable underwear will provide the ultimate protection.
In Conclusion:
Living with incontinence shouldn’t hold you back from enjoying life to the fullest when you have the right supplies.
Whether you’re seeking maximum protection, overnight relief or discreet solutions, our incontinence products are tailored to suit your needs and help manage incontinence. With many disposable (not reusable) solutions, those who experience bladder control loss do not need to worry about being unable to reach the toilet in time when they urinate.
