A wee problem that doesn’t need to be
Depend, the dependable way to live life to the full
Incontinence affects countless Australians, and yet so many simply put up with it believing it’s normal and there is not much they can do about it. But incontinence is a common problem easily managed with the right products and forward planning. Recent research conducted by leading
incontinence management company, Kimberly-Clark, has identified that a staggering 27 per cent of Australians are doing nothing to manage their incontinence. This means they are severely restricting their freedom to enjoy life as the fear of leakage or having 'an accident' can have a huge emotional impact and these people feel very isolated. The Kimberly-Clark research also revealed
that 71 per cent of people find it hard to feel confident when they live with incontinence. Odour (70 per cent), the feeling of suffering from an ‘old person’s problem’ (68 per cent) and feeling unattractive to the opposite sex (24 per cent) are the most common reasons challenging incontinency sufferers' self confidence, and some people will go to great lengths to avoid social situations. Surprisingly, research also shows that 29
per cent of Australians with incontinence don’t use any products at all to help them to manage their 'accidents'. However, with careful planning and preparation, living with incontinence doesn’t need to be as frustrating as many people believe. Using the correct product can make a huge difference to incontinence sufferers. Wearing products which are designed
specifically for high volume urine loss like Kimberly-Clark Depend Real-Fit Underwear will immediately help to prevent odour providing one of many solutions to living with incontinence. Depend Real-Fit Underwear for
