Choosing the right product

Choosing the right product is very important as the user’s comfort will depend on it. The first step that needs to be taken is to determine the level of incontinence you are dealing with. The level of incontinence, frequency of urine loss and the level of independency of a given person determine the selection of a pad or a diaper.

NOTE! It is often the case that people with incontinence use products which are inadequate to their condition – people with light incontinence use anatomically shaped pads, which are more expensive, and are dedicated for moderate and heavy incontinence, because a product with higher absorbency gives them a stronger sense of security. It is worth to calculate whether such absorbency choice is really necessary.

A well selected product not only provides everyday comfort, but also helps to avoid unnecessary costs.

How to determine the necessary absorbency level?

In order to determine that, it is best to use the urinary diary which makes assessing the incontinence level easy.

Before carrying out the calculation it is worth to take the following factors under consideration:

Below there’s an example of correct product selection based on a properly kept urinary diary based on one day observation.

Calculation: Woman, limited mobility, visits toilet only with the assistance of a caregiver.

volume of fluids taken 1450 ml
volume of fluids excreted (usually 80% of fluids taken) 80% of 1450 ml = 1160 ml
passing urine in the toilet (approx. 200 ml during a single visit) 3 times 200 ml = 600 ml
urinary incontinence 1160 ml – 600 ml (WC) = 560 ml
4–hour average 560 ml / 24h = 93 ml over 4 hours

Suggested product selection:

93 ml / 4h falls in the “light incontinence” range, so the adequate product should be chosen from light incontinence management line and Seni Lady bladder control pads match the description.
