Caring for someone with incontinence

Urinary incontinence is more common than you think
Urinary incontinence (poor bladder control) is a common condition that affects around 5% of the world’s population, equating to approximately 300 million people worldwide. 
Although incontinence is more common as we age, it still affects many teenagers and young adults of all genders every day. Levels of incontinence can vary from small leakages to complete loss of bladder control which can impact a person’s quality of life. Appropriate management and support are crucial to ensure comfort and cleanliness.
Poor Quality of Life
Unfortunately, sufferers often struggle to talk about their condition, resulting in a detrimental impact to their overall quality of life.
Shame & Embarrassment
The topic of bowel and bladder disfunction can be uncomfortable for many, which can lead to feelings of shame and embarrassment.
Social Isolation
Social isolation is common, leading to sufferers having feelings of hopelessness and fear. 
A condition that will impact many people at some stage in their lives.
With the right medical help and support, incontinence can be managed and controlled.
Loss of bladder control is common and if left unmanaged, can be embarrassing.

​It can cause people to avoid their normal activities, ending up isolated, embarrassed and worried about how they smell. They may also limit their water intake out of fear of losing control. 

The walls of shame associated with incontinence result in a reduced quality of life, decreased use of health care, stress and discrimination.

​Access to incontinence support gives the individual confidence that they will not wet their clothes if they don’t reach or find a toilet in time.
Adequate access to dedicated incontinence products is crucial to ensure comfort, cleanliness and dignity.

Incontinence underwear, pads and liners quickly draw moisture away from the skin and neutralize urine odor. They are designed specifically for the rapid flow and heavy volume of urine. 

Quite often, incontinence sufferers will use menstrual products for bladder leakage, which will leave skin feeling damp and uncomfortable, and at a higher risk of irritation and infection. 

Menstrual products are not a substitution for incontinence products as they don’t protect skin against urine and won’t neutralize the urine odor.

Incontinence is a treatable condition with many options available.  Speak to your doctor to work out a treatment plan tailored to your loved one.


The financial burden of incontinence can add up quickly. Absorbent products and medical treatment can be expensive to maintain and can often mean the difference between getting appropriate help and support, or not.


HSA and FSA Eligible Medical Items

Incontinence supplies are typically eligible for reimbursement with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Contact your employer or FSA/HSA/HRA provider with account or eligibility questions.


Does Medicaid Cover Incontinence Products?

Medicaid is a state and federal program that provides medically necessary products (including incontinence products), healthcare or long-term care services to those who qualify.

Visit Healthcare.gov and use its Medicaid calculator to determine if you qualify.

For an incontinence product to be covered by Medicaid, it must be considered “medically necessary”, and therefore essential to the treatment or management of a particular condition. This can be determined by visiting your doctor and getting a diagnosis.

What our customers say
Relief!
I developed an allergy to the dyes and/or chemicals in the incontinence products of the best-selling brands. The burning and itching were almost unbearable, but I didn't know I had a choice. I was delighted to find Veeda products and now enjoy softness and comfort I didn't know was possible. An added benefit is the company's commitment to sustainable materials.

The pads are very absorbing
The pads are very absorbing and quickly draws liquid away from the body. The other thing I love about your pads is that they have no STUPID DESIGNS on them with ink of all things. I like the PURE WHITE pads. It makes me feel safe. So THANK YOU for being smart enough in keeping your pads PURE.
