Incontinence Fashion is Here!

As Oscar Wilde once said, “You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” Those with incontinence may find it hard to remain stylish, and maintain leakage. This is especially true if you are recently diagnosed with your condition, and the incontinent lifestyle is new to you. Or those with severe incontinence may struggle to conceal their heavy absorbent briefs. But have no fear, awesome incontinence fashion is here! The more you learn about your condition, the more fulfilling of a lifestyle you will lead. Think of incontinence as an opportunity to get creative with your style, and take these tips into consideration.

1. Leggings

Leggings come in all different colors, styles, and forms. High waisted leggings are the best option for those with incontinence. Why? The high waist provides extra support for your pelvic floor muscles, by compressing your lower abdomen. Leggings are also very easy to remove and pull on, so frequent bathroom visits become faster and easier.
rn
The stretchy high waist also flattens the appearance of your adult briefs. For those with lighter incontinence, leggings can completely conceal your absorbent liner or guard. Leggings are stretchy enough to fit any body type, and over any adult brief.

Many people may think leggings are just yoga pants, or something to wear under a billowy/long blouse. While this is true, leggings are also much more than that. Companies like Lysse, create denim, leather, suede, and cotton leggings! You can mix up your style every day and remain fashionable. From a tight leather pant weekend to a denim wearing workday, make your friends jealous with your comfortable, incontinence fashion.

2. Billowy Dresses

When you hear billowy dress you might think of your grandmother’s Mu Mu, but you’re so wrong! Billowy dresses come in many different shapes and sizes, just like you. A billowy dress conceals adult pull ups or liners for the obvious reason, it billows right over! Your typical billowy dress hangs from your shoulders or collar bones and billows out over your abdomen and hips. Again, you might think, “How could a billowy dress be flattering if it doesn’t contour my body?” Well there isn’t one type of billowy dress. Depending on your shoulder width, waist size, and height, you can find the perfect dress.

3. Tunics

Tunics a great option to throw over your LEGGINGS! Or any sort of pants/tights/shorts. If your tunic is long enough, you can even wear it by itself, which makes it…another billowy dress! Tunics drape over your hips and or bottom to create a delicate, flowy look, while concealing any absorbent wear.

4. High-Waisted Jeans

If your a jeans lover but find them hard to wear with your briefs, try high-waisted jeans! High-waisted jeans are so trendy right now, you’ll fit right in with this pro incontinence fashion. High-waisted jeans offer the same kind of assistance leggings do. They compress the abdomen and support your pelvic floor muscles. They also flatten any sort of adult brief you may be wearing. Jeans are different from leggings because they are made of thicker material. This thick material will make the lines of your adult diaper more discreet. If you wear a discreet adult diaper with these extra discreet high-waisted jeans, you’re in business!
