5 bladder weakness product essentials 

Shopping for essential incontinence items may seem like a minefield when you don't know where to start. When it comes to managing urinary incontinence and bladder weakness, it's a very personal decision. Urine leakage and faecal incontinence is experienced differently from person to person, everyone is unique. But, that’s why we stock such a broad range of incredible products, so there’s something for everyone. 

Ultimately, it's about finding the right types of products that give you a greater sense of confidence in every aspect of your life. Wearable incontinence products are the first line of defence, but there are all kinds of other solutions to complement them. Nappy bags, mattress cleaning sprays, foams, rubber gloves, you name it - if it has anything to do with incontinence, we sell it.

So, without further ado, here are five product essentials to help get you through the day.

They also have odour control features to ensure there is no hint of embarrassment when out in public. Nobody wants to smell like urine, especially if you’re out and about, mixing with friends or just chilling with the kids. If your pads feature odour control technology, you’re in good hands. 

As women can have sensitive skin, especially in delicate areas, it's vital to protect against irritation, and many of our female incontinence pads enable a snug, secure, and comfortable fit.

Our customers find the ‘anatomical shape’ really important and we get why. Men have a bit down there that can make standard-shaped pads uncomfortable. Our male-focused design means you can finally have a snug, comfortable fit in a pad that’s practical. 

You’ll find in the Vivactive range there are three different levels of absorbency to cater for people experiencing both little leaks and big leaks. 

The best disposable bed pads, as part of our range, feature specifically designed absorption channels to rapidly soak up any liquids that may be trying to get at your mattress. Using a super-absorbent bed pad adds an extra layer of protection for your sheets and mattresses. By collecting up any stray liquids and locking them away, your sheets will stay fresh and dry. No smells, no stains. 

They’re great for people on the go. If you’re someone who travels a lot, frequenting hotels, other people's houses, and holidays, you’ll probably find a bed pad useful. Their small size means they can be carried around easily and discreetly. Once soiled, they’re simply bundled up and disposed of. Washable bed pads are less versatile in this respect, you can’t really carry them around with you once they’ve been used. 

I know that ‘cleaning products’ is a bit broad, but I felt that just narrowing it down to one particular product might be less helpful. Instead, I think it might be more helpful to talk to you about why cleaning products as a whole are essential. 

It’s not really talked about enough, but incontinence can unfortunately be a messy business. Sometimes you can’t help it, urine gets on things. But, if you’re well prepared with a decent suite of cleaning products, you can act quickly to make sure your treasured furniture doesn’t smell of wee. Not just furniture needs protecting, but your skin too. If you’re not keeping your skin clean, you can run into all kinds of trouble. 

Bladder weakness cleaning products can also be a lifesaver for carers or anyone who might need to clean someone else. The Vivactive No-Rinse Skin Cleansing Foam is sensitive to the skin, kind to the environment, and has been purposely developed for people experiencing incontinence, offering a quicker and more effective alternative to soap and water that can be applied easily and effortlessly.

Experiencing bladder weakness shouldn't mean you have to turn your life upside down; it's just about ensuring you have the essential products to hand. These five, either on their own or together, can be an excellent solution for you so you can feel fresher, freer, and fantastic.
