Even if you don't care what others think, it's important that your own self-image be healthy as well. Coping with adult incontinence isn't easy at first, but like any health problem, coping and finding relief is just a matter of learning more and finding solutions.
Incontinence at the gym is a tough problem, since exercise will put you in situations where you may exert force on the bladder and the abdomen. Even a little sneeze can cause incontinence problems, can you imagine what it would be like benching a couple hundred pounds? The best bet here is to avoid drinking and eating before the workout, and using incontinence apparel to catch leaks.
The theater or movie cinema is a classic form of entertainment. The trouble is that everyone has problems keeping their cool during the entire film or play- not just people with incontinence problems! Know where bathrooms are located, and attempt to go before the movie even if you don't feel as if you have to. Worst case scenario, you just have to miss a few minutes of the entertainment to take a bathroom break.
Water sports and incontinence are enemies, mostly because the adult diapers and other products don't always do well in water. And when they do, they are easily spotted by others. You won't have to compromise, however. There are products out today that are thin and discrete. Just remember to pack an extra or two in a knapsack, a backpack, or a container of some sort.
When out for a night of fun, dress in dark clothing. Sometimes accidents come at the worst possible times, and despite having protection, leaks can happen. Dark clothing ensures that any accidents will be covered quite well. Toting around a travel-size deodorant bottle is also good for covering scents. You don't have to be embarrassed when accidents happen- you don't even need to have those around you notice if you are careful.
Much of your confidence won't come from your inner self- but rather from how you share your problem with friends and family. As long as you have understanding friends with you to help you out when accidents happen, you can seemingly conquer the world! You don't have to go through incontinence by yourself. Tell friends and family about the health problem and you'll find they will help out when you need them most.
Final Thoughts
Help groups are there for people that need them. More often than not, you will be just fine with a good set of friends and by surrounding yourself with the right people. Find more help on community groups online, and always invest in the proper incontinence products.
