HARTMANN supports the World Continence Week campaign organised by the World Federation For Incontinence and Pelvic Problems (WFIPP).
Incontinence continues to be a sensitive subject, but by opening up a conversation about it, we can work through it together.
Fatima has been struggling with incontinence for a few years. To avoid urinary leaks, she tried drinking less. But after doing some research, she discovered that dehydration could make urinary incontinence worse.
If there is too little fluid intake, the bladder is not flushed out as well as it needs to, leading to bacteria accumulating faster in the kidneys, bladder, and urethra.
This increases the risk of bladder or urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Also, the urine produced is highly concentrated and can irritate the bladder, increasing the need to go to the toilet and urinate. It's recommended to drink 1.5 to 2 litres of fluid a day, water and tea are great choices.
Ahmed has been retired for 5 years. He enjoys spending time with his family and friends. For the past few months, Ahmed has started to experience urinary leaks. After consulting with his doctor, he decided to look for a discreet and reliable solution that would fit his active lifestyle.
Like Ahmed, find the solution that’s right for you.
Amira, now retired, is caring for her 85-year-old mother by helping her with daily tasks such as shopping, attending appointments, and housework. Recently, she noticed that her mother's clothes had a strong smell of urine, even though she was wearing a pad. Amira looked for products that were designed for urine and contained odour neutralizers as well as the discreet, reliable protection she needed. She also found a cream to soothe her mother's irritated skin. These new products have made all the difference. Amira is no longer worried about her mother being in discomfort or her intimate care, and instead they can enjoy spending time together.
