Tip #1: Choose breathable fabrics 🌿

When we think of summer, we think of hot days and sweat 💦. These two things don’t suit those who experience bladder leakage/incontinence. To make daily life a little easier, opt for breathable fabrics like cotton which allows air circulation, reducing the likelihood of moisture buildup and irritation. These fabrics are hypo-allergenic, meaning they are very gentle on the skin 🌼.

Tip #2: Consider the colours you wear 🎨 ‎  ‎ 

Lighter coloured clothing is synergistic with the summer months, but this can be a problem as lighter colours don’t tend to hide accidental leaks as well as darker colours. It doesn’t mean you can’t wear bright clothing. You may be more comfortable wearing brighter tops with darker coloured bottoms.

Tip #3: Carry extra supplies 👜

Being prepared with extra incontinence supplies is always good to have at your disposal, especially when planning a day out in the heat. Pack a travel bag 🎒with a fresh change of clothing, incontinence products like our Comforts pads, and wipes such as our Intimate Wipes for a quick clean and refresh on the go 🚗.  

Tip #4: Plan bathroom breaks 🚽

One of the easiest ways to prevent summer accidents is to plan out bathroom breaks before leaving home. If you're visiting a new place or going on a road trip, the National Public Toilet Map is a fantastic resource! This map shows the location of more than 19,000 public and private facilities across Australia!
