What is Incontinence and do other people suffer from it?
Incontinence can be simply described as the passing of urine or bowel movements, without control, often at inappropriate times and places. As many as one in four women and one in ten men will suffer from bladder weakness at some point in modern living. Fortunately there are modern products to keep you dry and comfortable for every level of problem.

Step 1 - Establish the level of protection you need
LEVELS OF INCONTINENCE
To help you find the best products for your needs we have four basic levels of incontinence that will describe your condition. All our pants and pads will be associated with at least one of these levels.
1. LIGHT - Often called bladder weakness or stress incontinence, is most common in women and is sometimes associated with pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. In men it can sometimes follow prostrate surgery. Symptoms include small losses of urine or dribbling when sneezing, coughing, bending etc.
2. MODERATE - Larger overflow losses such as when not reaching toilet in time, losing a small amount but not a bladder full. Including men when not quite finished or dribbling after a visit to the toilet.
3. HEAVY - Being unable to stop once flow has started. Bladder empties without warning. Also dribbling during sleep causing bed wetting. Enlargement of prostate in men can often cause dribbling effect.
4. BOWEL DISORDERS - Those who require extra protection and who may need more at the back than the front.
• Now you should have an idea of how your condition is associated with a "level" of protection and you can continue to decide the best types of product suitable for you.
Step 2 - Choose products suitable for your condition
This section will provide you with general information on the types of products that are available to help you. What most people need is a pant and pad combination suitable for their condition. We suggest the best place to start is to choose the right pants. The following information will help.
Making your choice of products
As a general rule the products you choose are decided by your condition and personal preference. The information given here is just to help you with your choice. We often find that our customers will try different pants and pads until they find a combination that is most effective and comfortable for them.
Absorbency values (ml)
Many of the products in the DryForLife range have a value of absorbency in Millilitres (ML). This gives you an idea of the amount of liquid the absorbent products are able to contain. Because everyone is different, it can be difficult to know exactly what absorbency in millilitres you need. We advise you use any (ml) values only as a guide and to ensure you choose products with the correct absorbency for your needs we recommend you try different items until you find the ones that you feel most comfortable and secure with.
• Free sample disposable pads - Because we know our customers like to try different products we've made your choice a little easier by offering you a FREE SAMPLE PACK of disposable pads so you can try a range of different pads without buying.

The right size pants and pads for you
To get the best from all absorbent pads it is important that they are worn close to the body and held firmly in place. This will prevent circulation of air, which will take away the chances of sore skin, odours or leakage.
• Try a size smaller pant - A good tip is to try a size pants smaller than you think you need. Remember the pants need to be very close fitting.
• Extra pad support - For a little extra comfort and to help the pad stay in place, we can supply special stretch pants (Type 10) that can be used with various pads or over the top of pants and pads to hold everything firmly in place. (See them in both mens and womens pants pages.)
How to measure yourself
This is easy for men and women and will ensure you order the right size. Remember to allow for the pads to be held firmly and close to the skin, so don't make your size too big.
• Women and Girls - Please measure at the widest point of the HIPS
• Men and Boys - Please measure at the narrowest point of the WAIST
