Which type of bladder weakness do you have?

All sorts of things play a part, such as childbirth, menopause and strenuous exercise, but understanding the different types and causes of bladder sensitivity can help you manage the condition. 

Bladder sensitivity is incredibly common, with one in three women over the age of 18 experiencing it. All sorts of things play a part, such as childbirth, menopause and strenuous exercise, but understanding the different types and causes of bladder sensitivity can help you manage the condition. There’s no reason to let bladder sensitivity get in the way of living life to the full. You don’t have to adapt your life to avoid little leaks – all you need is the right protection.

Stress incontinence is when you experience leaks when coughing, sneezing or laughing. If it’s something that affects you very occasionally and just a few drops escape that cause slight dampness, an Always Discreet for Sensitive Bladder Liner is the perfect solution. They’re just 2mm thick but designed with a super-absorbent core to protect you.

If you need more security, Always Discreet for Sensitive Bladder Pads in Small and Normal sizes are perfect for occasional leakages that cause wetness, while Always Discreet for Sensitive Bladder Pads+ in Long and Long Plus are designed for more frequent, moderate-intensity leaks. Whichever best suits your needs, they’re feminine, comfortable and discreet, plus the pads are individually wrapped.

If you get a sudden urge or loss of urine at an unexpected moment, this is known as urge incontinence. Managing this, calls for protection that will give you the confidence you need to enjoy life to the full, such as Always Discreet for Sensitive Bladder Pads Normal and Pads+ in Long and Long Plus.

Your choice will depend on the frequency and intensity of leakage, as well as what you’re doing. When you’re at home, Normal pads may well suffice, but if you’re out and not sure how easy it will be to get to the loo, then Pads+ may be your best option. For the ultimate security, Always Discreet for Sensitive Bladder Pants offer 100% protection and are made of a soft, cotton-like material that fits your curves comfortably and have a high waist.

Mixed incontinence is the combination of stress and urge incontinence symptoms. Because urge incontinence means you can be caught short when you’re out and about, it’s probably a good idea to go for Always Discreet for Sensitive Bladder Pads+ or Pants, which offer up to 100% comfort and protection. Both will give you the security and confidence of knowing bladder sensitivity won’t stop you doing any of the things you enjoy.
