Period Pads Vs. Incontinence Pads
Ever wondered what the difference between our period and incontinence pads are? Well, you don’t need to anymore, as we have all the information here for you!
Our period pads are made with only 100% certified organic cotton inside and out, that includes the top sheet and core, giving unsurpassed absorbency. There are no added perfumes, dyes, colours, or wood pulp in any of our products.
Our light incontinence pads for bladder leaks are made with a 100% certified organic cotton top sheet to provide soft gentle protection. Inside is patented medical textile technology that creates a 3D Cotton-Balanced super-absorbent core that naturally and quickly absorbs up to 20 times its weight, and channels wetness to prevent it from building up. It has organically certified pH activated odour control that neutralises odour before it can escape from the pad. The light incontinence pads have complete breathability preventing you from irritation and leaves you feeling cool and fresh.
Different types of incontinence
Urge incontinence – An overactive bladder and immediate need to urinate
Stress incontinence – Caused by coughing, sneezing, or doing exercise
Mixed incontinence – A combination of urge and stress incontinence together
Organyc Moderate and Maximum Pads for Bladder Leaks are suitable for stress and mixed incontinence, as well as light to moderate urge incontinence.
Kegel Exercises
Strengthening the pelvic floor can greatly reduce the impacts of stress incontinence. The pelvic floor muscle is a hammock-shaped muscle that runs between the pubic bone in the front and the tailbone in the back. When doing a Kegel exercise, squeeze that area and it should feel like stopping the flow of urine. Here are some Kegel exercises for training the pelvic floor.
Sit & Squeeze
This is the simplest Kegel that can be done anytime, anywhere. While sitting up straight with both feet on the floor, relax your muscles and breathe out. With each inhalation of air, squeeze your pelvic floor muscles and hold. As you exhale, release, and relax.
Kegel Bridge
Lay on your back with knees bent up to the sky. Adjust the feet so your heels are at your fingertips. Relax muscles while breathing it all out. With each inhalation, lift hips straight up and hold. When in bridge position, squeeze the pelvic muscle. After holding for a few seconds, release the pelvic floor muscles then slowly come out of the bridge position by slowly lowering the hips back down. And repeat.
Sumo Squat & Squeeze
Stand with feet hip distance apart and toes pointed slightly outwards, roll your shoulders down and relax the muscles while exhaling. With the next inhale, engage your core and squat down with knees out. While in the sumo squat, squeeze the pelvic floor up and in. Exhale, release and return to standing position.
