Article Abstract:
People suffering from continence problems need clear information about continence products. This is because different product features meet different needs and lifestyles. They also want products which are easy to use, which do not have a clinical appearance, and which are strong and reliable. Products available include bedding protectors, urinals, catheter bags and absorbent pads. One method of finding out about the features of the product range is to consult the publications of the UK's national continence resource centre PromoCon.
