Living with incontinence: how to make it easier to manage Living with incontinence can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. For a lot of people, incontinence goes unspoken. It’s a topic that’s too often shied away from, kept under wraps and considered a little taboo. But for people experiencing it or caring for someone who is, incontinence is just part of the everyday. Incontinence can have a big impact on the way you live your life. If it’s not being managed effectively, you may find that you’re constantly having to adapt your life to fit in with incontinence. This might mean avoiding being in public places for longer periods of time or constantly having to take trips to the bathroom to change pads and clothes. Needless to say, this can be time-consuming and even frustrating – which, in turn, can impact your wellbeing and that of those around you. So, finding a way to effectively manage incontinence is vital to improving the quality of your everyday life. Incontinence doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or even inconvenient, and that’s where MoliCare comes in. MoliCare continence products have been medically tested to provide the ultimate comfort and skin protection – because quality care should be a non-negotiable. Here are just a few ways MoliCare’s continence range will give you greater peace of mind: Highly absorbent With a 3-layer absorbent core, MoliCare napkins lock fluid into the centre, leaving skin dry – meaning less leakage and less washing! Skin protection Our unique Curly Fibre technology sets our products apart for maintaining healthy pH levels and reducing the risk of skin irritation.* Comfortable fit With different styles, sizes and absorbency levels – there’s a perfect fit for all incontinence needs, making for a more comfortable everyday.

Finding the right fit for you MoliCare’s extensive range of continence products ensures there’s a right fit for your needs. With various styles, sizes and absorbency levels, MoliCare products offer maximum comfort, discretion and skin protection. There are a few considerations to make when you’re selecting your product: style, size and absorbency. Here’s a handy guide to help you find the best fit: Style There are different styles to suit different levels of mobility. Full mobility: All styles in the MoliCare range are suitable, so your selection is just based on personal preference. Restricted mobility with cognitive difficulties: MoliCare Premium Mobile pull up is best for you – it looks and feels like normal underwear. Assisted, inactive or limited mobility: MoliCare Premium Slip will be most suitable as it’s all-in-one for ease of use. Size Using the correct size will ensure maximum comfort and leakage protection. To determine what size you should be wearing, measure the largest width between the waist and hips. Then, select the product size based on the size guide on the product packaging. Otherwise, leakage may occur if the product is too large or too small. Note: Sizing should not be confused with absorbency and can vary from style to style. Absorbency Selecting the right absorbency gives you the level of protection you need.
