Just recently, my incontinence has ramped up a notch ( I have urinary incontinence) and I am finding that the tena pads I am currently using don't seem to be doing the job, they were intended for. I seem to be wetting more than usual, yes, I keep my hydration levels up, so as not to become dehydrated. Some days, I go through four pads and I wondered if anyone could give me some advice, to the product i should be using. Currently, as I have said, I use pads, as i find these easier, especially if out and about town. I suspect, that I now need a higher level of absorbency and wondered what other options are available. In most chemists here in the Uk, I have found they usually only stock tena pads, depend pads, pants and I have tried the tena pants, which are alright, but I can't seem to find any proper tape on diapers for adults. I have seen my healthcare professional, once, when I first experienced bladder weakness and needless to say, she was not much help. Basically she told me, that my incontinence was due to menopause and told me to purchase pads from the local chemists and just get on with it. Since then, I haven't been back, I use the protection and just get on with my life. I have recently discovered a Health Store in my local area, so will be checking that out soon, to see what supplies they have to offer. Perhaps, whilst I'm there, I will speak to the person in charge and ask their opinion on what products would be right, for me. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate the feed back. Thank you!
