Social events can become fun again with a little strategic planning. One way to deal with women’s urinary incontinence is to pack a small bag when you have to be out and about. And don’t worry, when we say “small bag” we mean small.
In fact, you can fit most of these items in your purse. To be prepared to deal with potential urine leakage accidents, carry these items around with you:
– an extra incontinence pad
– a tampon (wearing a tampon can support your urethra and prevent leakage)
– odor-neutralizing spray
– small fragrance spray
No big deal, right? The extra pad will keep you dry if you do have a urine leakage accident. The tampon will prevent further leakage, and the sprays will keep you smelling fresh and clean.
Some Additional Tips for Social Events
In addition to packing some extra supplies, you can also minimize embarrassment if you do have an accident by doing the following:
– watch what you eat and drink
– practice bladder retraining or timed voiding
– wearing dark clothing
Sounds simple, right? It can be. A little effort goes a long way when you deal with women’s urinary incontinence.
