Managing the problem of night time urination

Managing urinary incontinence

Are you or a loved one tired of not getting a good night’s sleep?

Urinary incontinence is a significant health problem worldwide that can have a negative impact on quality of life.¹

Studies have shown that urinary incontinence is two to three times more common in women¹, while research has also identified depression, loss of self-esteem or dignity, urinary infections and stress or anxiety as key issues which affect those people with urinary incontinence.²

Wearing pads can be a useful way to help manage urinary incontinence, or just at night-time if you have mobility issues, but they can also cause some serious problems such as a lack of sleep, given the need to potentially change them a number of times a night, which could also lead to a risk of falling.
