How does the use of incontinence pads affect mental health?

We have done a survey and found that many consumers are ashamed to mention the urine pad, which will make people think that using the urine pad means that the body is not healthy and can not take care of themselves. This kind of thinking can greatly affect their physical and mental health.

Incontinence can significantly impact a patient's mental health, leading to conditions such as

depression, isolation, and relationship breakdowns.The use of incontinence pads can further exacerbate these issues by causing distress, skin damage, infection, and a loss of dignity..The reliance on pads and breaches of patients' privacy can also contribute to feelings of distress and loss of dignity . Furthermore, the use of pads as a containment strategy may reduce patients'

independence and mobility, potentially worsening these negative mental health effects.Therefore, a philosophy of “right pad, right patient, right time” is recommended to improve continence care and pad provision, potentially mitigating these negative impacts on mental health.

A good night's sleep can feel especially elusive when you have incontinence concerns.

From frequent wake-ups to needing to change your sheets - incontinence pads are one solution that can help you protect your bed linens and mattress.
