Incontinence is individual - How to choose the right product from Seni!

In the world of health and well-being, the topic of incontinence is of great importance. From diagnosis to treatment, those affected face various challenges. In this blog, learn all about incontinence and Seni products that help you manage your daily life and maintain quality of life and dignity. 

Incontinence as an Individual Challenge

Incontinence can become a burdensome challenge for those affected. The individual symptoms and causes of incontinence require targeted treatment. Both men and women of all ages can be affected by urinary incontinence, whether through urge incontinence or stress incontinence. An accurate diagnosis by a doctor in a specialized clinic is crucial for the right therapy. Information about the different forms of bladder weakness and the function of the bladder and urethra are essential for patients. Women are more often affected than men due to circumstances such as pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. As age increases, the frequencies in both genders equalize, with age-related changes and health complaints playing a significant role.

Incontinence is not a normal accompaniment of aging but a treatable condition. Various causes such as overweight, certain health conditions (for example, diabetes or neurological disorders), and the use of certain medications can increase the risk. Younger people can also suffer from incontinence temporarily or permanently, for example, as a result of surgeries or due to congenital disorders.

Forms of Incontinence

The forms of incontinence are diverse and can affect both men and women. Stress incontinence often occurs during physical exertion, while urge incontinence involves a sudden urge to urinate without control. It is important to choose the right incontinence products for individual living conditions to lead a life in comfort and dignity. Be convinced by the outstanding quality of Seni incontinence products and learn in this blog post what matters when selecting them. 

Importance of the Right Product Selection for Incontinence

The selection of the appropriate incontinence product is of great importance for those affected to make everyday life as pleasant as possible. Different types of incontinence require specific products that help alleviate symptoms and lead a normal life. To find the optimal protection and comfort for those affected, some components need to be captured.

Step 1: The Severity of Incontinence

 

Type of Incontinence
Description
Typical Features
Light Urinary Incontinence
Minor, occasional urine loss, usually under stress such as coughing or sneezing.
Small amounts of urine, rare occurrence, usually during physical exertion.
Moderate Urinary Incontinence
More frequent or stronger urine loss, not only under stress but also in everyday life.
Medium amounts of urine, occasional uncontrolled urine leakage, more frequent changing of aids.
Severe Urinary Incontinence
Continuous or very strong urine loss, often without warning or control.
Large amounts of urine, regular use of incontinence products, significant restriction in everyday life.
Fecal Incontinence
Inability to voluntarily control bowel movements.
Uncontrolled stool discharge, can range from slight soiling to complete loss of control.

 

Step 2: Mobility

The next step is to determine the mobility level of the affected person.

  • Mobile & Fit Persons require light pads, and for stronger incontinence, pants with fixation aids or incontinence briefs that guarantee a secure fit and leak protection.
  • People with Limited Mobility rely on incontinence products such as fixable pads, absorbent pants, or special incontinence briefs. These products are characterized by easy handling and a secure fit to promote their mobility while ensuring reliable protection.
  • People who are bedridden require special incontinence aids such as highly absorbent incontinence briefs, anatomically adapted pads, and bed protection pads. These products provide reliable protection against moisture and also help maintain comfort and skin health during longer lying periods. 

Step 3: Size and Fit

Lastly, it is the Size and Fit Responsible for the secure fit on the body and thus for the optimal protection of those affected. Start by measuring your waist circumference and hip width, as the incontinence pads and pants from Seni are categorized based on these measurements. Measure the waist at the narrowest point and the hips at the widest point. If your measurements fall between two sizes, it is advisable to choose the larger size to ensure more comfort and safety. The products from Seni feature a size chart in the product description to help you determine the optimal fit. This overview provides information on waist circumference, so you can select the appropriate size based on your measurements. Additionally, the absorbency of the pads is noted. The number of pieces per pack is also specified, so you know exactly how many pads or pants are included, allowing you to maintain your stock completely.
