A sudden urge to urinate due to loss of bladder control can disturb you anytime and anywhere. Dealing with urinary incontinence can often become difficult at times and make you physically conservative in work, travel or even having fun. And for family members or caregivers supporting elders who are bed-ridden or forced to be inactive post-surgery, changing the diapers, preventing skin-rash and ensuring the room is free of odour and germs can often be the most challenging task of the day.
