LOBC, or loss of bladder control, is a condition that affects millions worldwide and more specifically, 25 million Americans each year. LOBC can be mild or severe and may go untreated in the person’s lifetime if not too bothersome. In fact, 2 out of 3 of the sufferers are found to not use any product or treatment to manage incontinence. Most incontinence sufferers manage with lifestyle changes such as a correct diet and exercise. But incontinence products have been found to help people with incontinence live their day-to-day life actively and comfortably without worrying about leakages, embarrassments, etc.
Prevail has products that target its female buyers covering their range of needs. For that light bladder control involving dribbles and leakage, there are bladder control pads and pantiliners. For women who experience moderate involuntary flow because of stress and urge incontinence, there are protective underwear with customized design involving targeted protection for the female anatomy. Bladder control pads with strong absorbency power can also be used. Women experiencing heavy flow because of reflex, overflow and functional incontinence need to try out the Prevail briefs which can be worn as regular undergarments and have extra absorbency rate. Someone looking for nighttime protection may check out the extended wear briefs which provide up to 12-hour leakage protection. For extra peace of mind, underpads may be spread over a chair or bed to protect furniture from accidental leakages.
Men may suffer from incontinence less than women but equally need adequate protection. Prevail products for men suffering light incontinence include male guards which can be worn inside the undergarment and is shaped to fit around the male anatomy comfortably. If extra protection is required then the male guard can be worn inside an underwear for secure fit. For moderate incontinence, Prevail protective underwear for men are available which provide targeted protection for the male anatomy. Heavy leakage issues can be handled well with Prevail products that are high absorbency and provide complete protection. There are briefs designed to be worn like an underwear and there are extended wear briefs that are ideal for prolonged usage, especially during the night, going up to 12 hours. Male incontinence sufferers may also use underpads which are spread on the furniture to prevent them from being soiled by accidental leakage.
