Incontinence advice

[Sam50]

Hi, I have started having bladder control problems, where I dont seem to know when I need to pee until to late. I have tried some pads for men but they seem to leak quickly. Can anyone recommend any good options? I will try any type that works. Thank you.

Have you tried Tena? As a 'lady that leaks' I swear by them.They help with leaks and odour I dont know if they are as good for men as I have no experience.

I also think it would be wise to contact your GP and ask for a referral to the continence clinic or continence nurse. I’m sure they would advise you of the best products and possibly supply them for you. My husband started with pads but progressed to pull ups on the advice of our local clinic.

I wondered if you would find this information of any interest -
