Empowering Confidence Through Knowledge

At Deluxx Healthcare, we understand that managing incontinence starts with understanding it. Whether you’re caring for a loved one, supporting a patient, or navigating it personally, we’re here to provide clear, practical guidance and compassionate support every step of the way.

Understanding Incontinence

Incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine or stool, and it affects people of all ages—whether due to age, surgery, childbirth, or a medical condition. Knowing which type you’re dealing with can help you manage it more confidently and effectively.

Types of Urinary Incontinence:

Stress Incontinence – Leaks during activities like coughing, sneezing, or lifting.
Urge Incontinence – Sudden, intense urge followed by involuntary leakage.
Overflow Incontinence – Constant dribbling due to incomplete bladder emptying.
Functional Incontinence – Physical or cognitive challenges hinder timely toilet access.
Total Incontinence – Continuous loss of bladder control.

Helpful Tips to Manage Incontinence

🥦 1. Support Through Diet & Hydration

Stay Hydrated – Drink enough water; dehydration can irritate the bladder.
Limit Triggers – Reduce caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods that may worsen symptoms.
Manage Evening Intake – Minimise fluid consumption before bedtime to prevent nighttime leaks.

🧘 2. Strengthen Pelvic Muscles

Regular pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels) can help improve bladder control. These are especially helpful for postpartum women and those with mild to moderate incontinence. Ask a GP or pelvic health specialist for guidance.

🤱 3. Postpartum Support

Temporary incontinence is common after childbirth. Strengthening core and pelvic muscles and choosing the right absorbent products can ease recovery.

Choosing the Right Deluxx Product

Finding the right protection makes all the difference in comfort, confidence, and mobility. Here's how to choose:

Consideration	What to Look For
Absorbency Level	Match product strength to day/night use or severity of leakage.
Mobility & Lifestyle	Pull-up pants for active users; slips (tab briefs) for carers.
Skin Sensitivity	Breathable, aloe-infused, hypoallergenic materials for gentle care.

Deluxx offers a range of Ultra and Lite incontinence products across sizes and absorbency levels—designed for day and night protection, maximum absorbency, and soft, body-contouring comfort.
