Most often, the reason for incontinence is that there are problems in the brain or spinal cord that prevent controlled urination. In particular, this can occur in bed with older people, in bed with children in the children's room, and with a baby in the room. Therefore, a good mattress protector serves as mattress protection to provide protection against moisture of the bedding. Meanwhile, there are good incontinence pads made of high-quality fabric that adapt optimally to the body. Discomfort while lying down, as well as back pain and limb pain, are prevented with a mattress pad or a mattress protector of good quality.

What exactly is incontinence and what forms of incontinence are there?

Incontinence is widespread in society, especially stress incontinence. This form is also referred to as stress incontinence. The cause here is the weakened pelvic floor muscles of the patient or a weakness in the body's connective tissue. Not only older people and children but also during a pregnancy, incontinence can occur. If you have questions, you should definitely consult a doctor who can then suggest a specific therapy and also provide tips on the appropriate mattress protector.

Typical symptoms of stress incontinence

When pressure increases in the abdominal area, such as during pregnancy, physical exertion, or laughing, coughing, or sneezing, stress incontinence can occur. This incontinence can be divided into 3 severity grades: 

Grade 1: Incontinence due to urine loss occurs with heavy physical exertion (lifting objects, laughing, sneezing, or coughing).

Grade 2: Incontinence due to urine loss occurs even with light physical exertion, such as walking, sitting down, or standing up.

Grade 3: Incontinence in the form of urine loss occurs without physical strain.

Incontinence therapy: How can incontinence be treated?

If the incontinence is a stress incontinence, it can be reduced through targeted pelvic floor training. For this, specific exercises as well as yoga are offered, which effectively eliminate incontinence in the long term. Additionally, products such as incontinence pads or a waterproof mattress cover or mattress protector for mattresses help.

Molton incontinence pad - What advantages are there?

Molton is a skin-friendly film used as bed protection for an incontinence pad that is waterproof. It is made of particularly soft cotton fabric, which can be very well used as an incontinence pad. Molton is placed directly on the bed sheet as a mattress cover and mattress protector, like a topper that also acts as a mattress protector. Molton protects the patient with incontinence on the mattress from moisture and dampness, as this material is often used as a cover for an incontinence pad.

Incontinence pad - Waterproof and moisture protection

A mattress protector for mattresses or a mattress cover that is like a fitted sheet is a waterproof cover due to the various absorbent layers.

With an additional moisture protection layer located on the underside of the incontinence bedding (like with the mattress cover), the mattress is well protected and excellently suited as a product in the bed. The effective protective layer of the mattress cover has the advantage that it allows water and liquids to evaporate, making it 100% breathable. Sink comfortably into your pillow and sleep relaxed.

Incontinence pad - What different materials is the waterproof pad made of?

A continence pad or also called continence underlay, is waterproof and has the shape of a fitted sheet, which works according to the mattress protector principle.

Molton is a material that is particularly robust and durable, but at the same time soft and snug on the skin. The quality of sleep and comfort is increased by the molton pad (mattress protector) by 100%. Cotton molton is 100% breathable and 100% waterproof. In addition to cotton, synthetic fibers are also woven into the molton continence pad to make it particularly waterproof and absorbent. Terry cloth is one of the materials that can be woven in. Terry cloth dries easily, whether in 100 x 200, 90 x 200, 140 x 200 or for mattresses 200 x 200 and fitted sheets in 200 x 200.
