Bladder weakness essentials for your handbag

Just frolicking out of the front door without a care in the world isn’t always easy when you’re experiencing a leaky bladder. There’s a bit more to think about. But, a little bit of prep can go a long way. Say goodbye to being caught short while you’re out and about with the family. If you have a leak and need to do a quick clean-up, we’ve got some products for you. In this article, we’ll be taking a look at some bite-size incontinence essentials that will fit conveniently in your handbag.

Discreet pads

If you’re looking for a small, discreet solution to soak up leaks while you’re on the go, Vivactive Lady Discreet Pads will be your best friend. Designed for subtlety, these pads are small and fit comfortably inside your regular underwear. Their small size means they’ll sit snug inside your handbag, so you can take a few with you.

Discreet pads are essential for your handbag. They’re easy to get in and out, so there’s minimal faff when it comes to putting them on. You can carry them with you everywhere and their discreet packaging means nobody needs to know what they are.

We’re slowly becoming a much more open society with traditionally taboo subjects like incontinence. Even so, not everyone is super confident about their bladder weakness. If you’re not someone who wants to broadcast their bladder leaks from the rooftops, discreet pads will ensure nobody knows you’re wearing them.

Vivactive Lady Discreet pads are designed with a 50% thinner profile and feature our advanced TRIPLE LAYER LOCK™ technology, which rapidly absorbs liquid and locks in odour. Plus, they cost up to 50% less than similar products you might find in supermarkets or pharmacies.

At Vivactive, we’re all about value. Thanks to our product experts and online-only approach, we can pass on all of our savings to you. So, get yourself a pad that beats the competition, at a cheaper price.

No-rinse cleansing foam

Incontinence isn’t always plain sailing. Where there are accidents, sometimes there’s a bit of mess. It comes with the territory. If you get something on your hands and there’s no sink nearby, what can you do? Well, with Vivactive No-Rinse Cleansing Foam, you get a fantastic cleansing solution without the need for water. It won’t leave behind any sticky residue, and it’s designed with a pH-balanced formula to make sure your skin is left feeling truly clean and refreshed. Whilst you can certainly use it on your hands, you can actually use it on your whole body. It deodorises, hydrates and is gentle on your skin.

This no-rinse cleansing foram has been specifically developed for people with incontinence. It features a subtle fragrance and eliminates unpleasant odours. It’s a simple, quick, and effective alternative to traditional soap and water cleansing.

Simply lather onto the skin and wipe away, with no water or rinsing needed. The cleanser combines with dirt, sweat, and grease, which can then be removed with a towel or cloth.

Disabled toilet key

This one is a real lifesaver. With this nifty little disabled toilet key, you have access to over 10,000 disabled toilets around the UK. Not many people are aware that you can access these toilets with your own special keys. They’re utilised by 400 local authorities across the UK, ensuring you have access to disabled toilets whenever you need them.

Many public places, including shopping centres and parks, have designated accessible toilets to accommodate people with disabilities. These facilities are usually locked to prevent vandalism and maintain cleanliness. With a toilet key, you can easily unlock them and do what you need to do.

While incontinence may not be a traditional physical disability, it brings its own challenges. If you experience incontinence and spot a nearby disabled toilet, feel free to use it.

They’re a bit larger than standard keys, with an easy-to-grip head, making them suitable for people with physical impairments. But, although they’re slightly bigger than your usual keys, they’re still plenty small enough to fit in your handbag. Remember to add your toilet key to your checklist before leaving home: phone, wallet, keys, toilet key.

Lastly, always knock before unlocking a disabled toilet door. Although they lock from the inside, people sometimes forget. A quick knock will help avoid any awkward situations.
