If you experience moderate to severe incontinence and use disposable absorbent products, it’s likely that you place a high emphasis on being discreet about your condition, especially in public places.

To help you maintain your dignity and self-confidence, we’ve gathered our top tips to help you to fully participate in your daily activities, work and social gatherings, without worrying about others noticing you’re wearing an absorbent product. Maintaining privacy around your incontinence helps preserve your sense of normalcy and prevents potential stigma or uncomfortable questions from others.

Incontinence Go-Bag Checklist for Women: Essentials to Carry

Living with incontinence means that emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime. Sometimes it’s at the airport right before takeoff, or even in the elevator while out shopping. When you have an emergency, you can feel helpless and stressed, especially when you weren’t ready for it. In moments like these, living with incontinence can feel overwhelming. It can make you feel like your body isn’t under your control. It’s natural to feel like this. To feel like your day is out of your hands. To wish that life were easier.

But there are ways to take back little pieces of your day. One strategy is to have a go-bag ready. A go-bag is a small kit with essentials like wipes, spare clothes, or emergency supplies. Having one will help you feel more prepared when leaks show up unexpectedly. You will face the day with a little more peace of mind, which really makes a difference.

How To Talk To Your Partner About Incontinence

For those in a partnership, incontinence also brings fear of loss of sexual attraction, and sometimes fear of diminished affection.
