Question 1

1. What is adult incontinence?

Accepted Answer

Adult incontinence is the loss of bladder or bowel control, which can range from occasional leaks when coughing or sneezing (stress incontinence) to more frequent and heavy leakage (urge or overflow incontinence). It is a common condition that affects millions of adults worldwide — particularly seniors, post-surgery patients, women after childbirth, and individuals with certain medical conditions.

Question 2

Is incontinence normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Incontinence is more common than most people think. It can be caused by aging, weakened pelvic muscles, chronic illness (like diabetes or neurological disorders), or short-term issues like urinary tract infections. While it may feel embarrassing, it is a medical condition, not a personal failure.

Question 3

3. What are the challenges of living with incontinence?

Accepted Answer

People living with incontinence often face:
 • Emotional stress – embarrassment, anxiety in social situations.
 • Physical discomfort – skin irritation, rashes, or infections if not managed properly.
 • Lifestyle limitations – fear of leaks can prevent people from traveling, exercising, or even leaving home.
 • Caregiver stress – managing incontinence for loved ones can be overwhelming without proper products.
This is why reliable, discreet, and comfortable products are so important.

Question 5

5. Does incontinence get worse with age?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes, as muscles and nerves controlling the bladder weaken with age. However, lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, medical treatments, and quality products can manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Question 6

6. Can diet or lifestyle affect incontinence?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Certain foods and habits may worsen symptoms, such as:
 • Caffeine & alcohol (increase urine production).
 • Spicy or acidic foods (can irritate the bladder).
 • Obesity (extra weight puts pressure on the bladder).
 • Smoking (chronic coughing weakens pelvic muscles).
Making adjustments, combined with using the right protective products, can significantly reduce problems.

Question 7

7. How can caregivers best support someone with incontinence?

Accepted Answer

Caregivers can:
 • Choose the right product (size, absorbency level, style).
 • Maintain skin care by changing products frequently and using wipes/underpads.
 • Offer emotional reassurance — avoid shaming or making the person feel embarrassed.
 • Establish routines for bathroom visits and changes.
CooshCare products are designed with caregivers in mind — easy to use, quick to change, and highly protective.

Question 8

8. Will wearing adult diapers cause skin irritation?

Accepted Answer

If the product is low quality or left unchanged too long, irritation can occur. However, CooshCare products are dermatologically tested and made with breathable, soft materials that reduce friction and protect skin. Regular changes and good hygiene are essential to avoid rashes.

Question 9

9. How can I regain confidence while living with incontinence?

Accepted Answer

• Use discreet protection (like CooshCare underwear-style products).
 • Plan ahead by carrying wipes or extra products when going out.
 • Practice pelvic floor exercises to strengthen bladder control.
 • Stay socially active — don’t let fear keep you home.
 • Talk openly with loved ones or doctors — you are not alone.
At CooshCare, we believe confidence and dignity are possible for everyone managing incontinence.

Question 10

10. What are the different types of incontinence?

Accepted Answer

Incontinence isn’t the same for everyone. The main types are:
 • Stress incontinence – leaks during coughing, sneezing, or physical activity.
 • Urge incontinence – sudden, intense urges followed by leakage (overactive bladder).
 • Overflow incontinence – bladder doesn’t empty completely, leading to constant dribbling.
 • Functional incontinence – physical or cognitive conditions (like arthritis or dementia) make it hard to reach the bathroom in time.
 • Mixed incontinence – a combination of two or more types.
Understanding the type of incontinence helps in choosing the right product.

Question 11

11. Is incontinence only a problem for seniors?

Accepted Answer

No. While it is more common among seniors, incontinence can affect younger adults too — especially women after childbirth, athletes with weakened pelvic muscles, and people recovering from surgeries or chronic illnesses.

Question 12

12. How often should I change adult diapers or pads?

Accepted Answer

• For moderate incontinence, change every 4–6 hours.
 • For heavy incontinence, change more frequently, especially overnight.
 • Always change immediately if the product feels full or causes discomfort.
Changing regularly not only prevents leaks but also protects skin from rashes and infections.
