Complications of Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence presents several problems when it pops up. The obvious social problems tend to come to mind, but what about other, more physical issues? Urinary incontinence has two main physical complications: skin problems and urinary tract problems.

First, we'll talk about skin problems. Skin problems associated with urinary incontinence stem from the moisture that is abundantly present with incontinence. Excess moisture around the skin causes maceration which is a general weakening of the skin that makes the skin appear lighter in color, soggy, and wrinkly. Macerated skin is much more likely to suffer damage or tissue breakdown and can result in rashes, sores, and skin infection. Using a moisture-locking incontinence pad or brief will help in preventing this. Also, a product like NormlShield Moisture Barrier Cream can protect vulnerable skin against moisture.

The other problem associated with incontinence is increased risk of urinary tract infection. A urinary tract infection (or UTI) occurs when bacteria invades the urethra, causing irritation and even a burning sensation whenever urinating. UTI's are typically minor complications that will go away on their own with proper care. The reason why incontinence increases the likelihood of these infections is due to the excess moisture present in the environment surrounding the urethra. With moisture, proper temperatures, and time, cultures of bacteria can flourish. Normally, most common dermal bacteria find the chemicals present in urine to be toxic. However, some strains don't and can proliferate in a moist environment despite being saturated with these chemicals. If these cultures are able to thrive, they can eventually make their way inside the urethra, causing a UTI. However, keeping the area around the urethra dry and urinating frequently will typically remove these cultures without the need to see a doctor. However, it's recommended to see one anyway just because they can aid by prescribing an antibiotic regiment to deal with any invasive flora.

Differences Between the Super and Ultimate

Superior Absorbency

Some Tranquility Brand products come with what they call the Peach Mat Guarantee as a promise to their superior dryness. However, what does this even really mean? When you hear peach mat for the first time, you probably thought of some kind of decorative doormat you could purchase from a truck-stop souvenir stand in Georgia. What exactly is a peach mat and what does it have to do with incontinence?

The promise of Tranquility's Peach Mat Guarantee is greatly different from other manufacturers of incontinence products. With most other incontinence products, absorbency is displayed with images of water drops or marketing terms like "plus ultra," "extreme," or "desert" all terms that sound great but ultimately tell you nothing. In some cases, an incontinence brand can sell itself as a "super mega ultra maximum absorbent drought-maker fluid vacuum," giving your mind expectations of superior levels of absorbency, and in reality, it can only handle a few drops of water before it's completely waterlogged. This kind of branding isn't helpful. You need an incontinence pad, something to keep you dry. Terms like "ultra" sound like some kind of souped-up car with all the bells and whistles, not personal care pad. So having a product that's branded as a "supercharged turbo..." whatever might sound awesome, that's no proof that it is. This isn't the case with Peach-Mat products.

Peach-Mat products measure absorbency in real-world metrics like ounces or milliliters in capacity under pressure. What does this mean? Out in the wild, you'll be using an incontinence product while sitting, standing, walking, lying down, cartwheeling, or whatever kind of movements you do. Each of these movements exerts pressure on the product. Why is this important? Think of a waterlogged sponge and what happens when you squeeze it. You do not want this happening with your incontinence product. This is where capacity under pressure applies. To get this metric, the manufacturer completely soaks a Peach-Mat product then squeezes out the excess water. The water that remains inside that will not escape no matter what force they can put on it is the capacity under pressure.

So, when you use a Peach-Mat product, you can be assured that it will hold a guaranteed amount of liquid without leaking regardless of how you're moving. This, in turn, protects your clothing, your skin, and your confidence in your incontinence product.
