Best products for stress incontinence - running

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to this, I'm 33 and have a weak bladder through having children, although it never bothered me much as I'd try to avoid certain things (jumping ect) I've now discovered running......and I love it, I'm running twice a week and can't believe how much I like it(I hate exercise!!)
My problem is, is that I leak so badly, my trousers will be visibly wet (even with pads) I'm embarrassed and hate it. I've got by this by running with a jacket tied round my waist so no one can tell but I can't go on like this,

The protection I've been using are two ultra absorbent towels specifically for time of the month, will continance pads be more absorbent? Also has anyone got a preferred product.....I keep looking at the tena pants just for run but not sure if they would be any better?

Please help, I'm so embarrassed about this, I've been to docs and she said I need to do 3 month of kegals, which I'm doing but this is a slow process

Thank you

Hi

Thank you for posting.

Have a look at the range of products from Henleys Medical Supplies

They are really good at sending samples out if you get in touch.

Good look!

Re: Best products for stress incontinence - running

Hi Runningfit,

I'm 31 and also suffer with the same problem. I try to stay active, and I've found the best product for running (and wearing at the gym on the cardio machines) are Tena Flex. They are breathable and don't cause any problems with friction (for me at least), and the belt fastening system is very strong and doesn't seem to mind getting a bit clammy from sweat (sorry if TMI!). They are very absorbent, which is good for me as I need that protection, especially if I'm doing exercise.

See what you think!

(I have no connection with any of the companies, I just pasted the first link from Google. I hope that's ok for this forum).

Good luck!

Hi the very best thing that I have found is a device called incofree,it is worn inside the body and once you get used to putting it in it is wonderful no more leaking at all, no more pads. It is now available on prescription which it has not been before. I buy mine as I don't want to see the doctor about this problem too embarassed. Just look up incofree on any web search and you will find it.

Re: Best products for stress incontinence - running

Using incontinence pads will be much better than using regular menstrual pads because incontinence pads are meant to absorb urine. Poise pads are thin, discreet, and absorbent. I would suggest you keep doing your kegels well beyond just three months. You can try using vaginal weights to help you with the kegel exercises. You can also practice timed voiding or bladder retraining. Good luck!

Re: Best products for stress incontinence - running

I am an incontinence patient and I am using adult diapers that I had purchased from an online store. These diaper pads are really good and are really efficient in dealing with my condition.

Re: Best products for stress incontinence - running

Stress incontinence is a very common problem in all the people who have weak bladder and I know its create a very embarrassing situation in front of others, but there are many good incontinence pads are available in market, you can contact to medical supplies companies for it. Incontinence pads are available in each size. I also availed from these pads for my grandmother.

Re: Best products for stress incontinence - running

Hi ladies,

I have dealt with stress incontinence for years, and most often resorted to a pad or disposable products, which is a horrid experience when trying to exercise and do long runs especially... A friend of mine just linked me to a new underwear line, which is gaining a lot of ground that is made specifically for stress incontinence, and it's fashionable not dumpy, the best I've seen in that small and nearly nonexistent market.

Best of luck!

xoxo
