Incontinence Pads

It is a distressing and embarrassing problem that can affect one's social and personal life. This problem is found both in men and women. Urine is maintained in the bladder due to urethral pressure that exceeds the bladder pressure. In case the bladder pressure becomes larger than that exerted by the urethra, involuntary release of urine may be caused. This is known as urinary incontinence. While weak pelvic muscles could be one of the causes, incontinence may also be the result of certain medical conditions like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, injury or a stroke.Comfort
Of the various urinary incontinence products, using incontinence pads is a convenient and discreet way of dealing with the problem of incontinence. These pads come in two varieties. One is the disposable type and the other is the reusable variety that is made from cotton. A comparison of cloth versus disposable diapers show that both have their advantages and disadvantages. While for most adults, traditional absorbent incontinence pads work fine, those with heavier urinary leakage need to use the adult cloth diapers. Unlike the traditional disposable incontinence pads, adult cloth diapers are made of pure cotton material that allows the skin to breathe.
