Many people, both women and men, think that disposable incontinence pants are just another name for a diaper.
In fact that was pretty much what they were in times past.
They were bulky, didn't fit well enough to control all leaks and were inconvenient to use.
Those versions of the continence pants were widely seen as proof positive that one was getting old and simply had to deal with a condition that was just a part of aging.
In short it was depressing.
But today we know that incontinence is not part of the natural aging process and that there are any numbers of therapies that can be used to manage and even cure it.
Deciding which is the best for you is between you and your doctor.
But in the meantime, you should check out the changes in the incontinence pants that are available today.
For starters today's pants can handle even the most severe case of incontinence without leaking and staining clothing.
Thanks to new fabrics and designs, today's pants have a slim profile and are virtually invisible under clothing no matter what you are wearing.
And today you have a choice of fabrics and styles as well.
Women's pants come in poly cotton, PVC (not the heavy plastic stuff but a thin, soft watertight fabric) and mesh.
Men have the choice of boxers or briefs.
Whichever pant you choose expect it to appear just like regular underwear.
These pants come in both disposable and reusable washable models.
Which you use is entirely up to you.
Disposable offers the most convenience but is more expensive than the washables.
You might consider using both depending on your circumstances.
All of the disposable incontinence pants come with their own absorbency capability but that can be enhanced by wear a disposable pad as well.
In any case you will be well protected and avoid any embarrassing accidents.
