Is Urinary Incontinence Ruining Your Fashion Sense?

We all like to look our best. Nothing makes us feel prettier than a sexy dress, a slimming pair of designer jeans, or just a good-looking outfit.
But if you suffer from urinary incontinence, then you know how it can really interfere with your fashion sense!
If you have urinary incontinence, then fashion may have less to do with the way you dress than it used to. Instead, you choose clothes based on other factors.
Here are some examples:
- Pants that are easy to get on and off for those times when you just "have to go." Forget fancy button-down jeans ... think elastic waistbands!
- Tights instead of pantyhose. Pantyhose rip way too easily when you've got to go, whereas tights are much more resilient
- Clothes that don't wrinkle. When you have to pack a change of clothes everywhere you go, you need clothes that can be stuffed into a shoulder bag, not clothes that have to be hung on hangers
.
- Baggy pants that accommodate pads and diapers. Forget those slimming tight jeans!
Yuck!
Want to Retrieve Your Fashion Sense?
If baggy pants, wrinkle-free clothes, and pants with elastic waistbands really offend your sense of fashion, then maybe it's time to stop dressing down to accommodate your urinary incontinence symptoms. Maybe it's time to address your urinary incontinence.
Here's a question for you:
Would you rather go around embarrassed for the rest of your life because you have to wear clothes you hate, or would you rather be embarrassed for 30 minutes ... the time it takes to tell your doctor about your urinary incontinence and get help?
Amazingly enough, 50% of women suffering urinary incontinence choose the first option. They never seek help, and choose to simply "cope" with their urine leakage rather than getting help from a healthcare provider.
But that doesn't have to be you. According to the Agency of Healthcare Research and Policy, urinary incontinence can be improved in 8 out of 10 cases, many times with conservative therapy.
Isn't it time to stop committing fashion suicide? Get help now. Here are some resources to get you started:
