Incontinence in Australia

Incontinence can be embarrassing. From a young age we’re taught that bladder control, or a lack of it, should be a cause of embarrassment. So it might surprise you to know that almost of quarter of all people in Australia suffer from some form of incontinence – we’re talking almost 4 million people of both genders, all ages, and all backgrounds.

We’ve all seen the ads: older women jogging or riding horses or doing whatever with a laughing, care-free look across their face. They don’t worry over their incontinence. Yet, for most of us, simply getting to the shops without weeing ourselves is a daily challenge.

And unlike the women in the ads who have endless amounts of confidence and laugh in the face of social taboos, there was probably a time when most of us (normal people) struggled with the realisation that we suffered from incontinence. Of course, there was denial. We probably went to pains to hide the fact, mostly from ourselves, that we weren’t one of ‘those’ people. Buying incontinence products isn’t necessary for me!

Predictably, there was the day that we sheepishly picked up a large number of super pads or even graduated to incontinence pads, likely throwing in some comment to the pharmacist about dropping into our mother’s house that afternoon to try and mask our embarrassment. Yes, we can laugh about it now. But every day people around Australia, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, best-friends, are all going through the same unnecessary embarrassment of having to buy incontinence products. What a waste of energy.

If you’re reading this article, you’re probably already aware of the discreet delivery subscription service offered by www.comfortline.com.au. Rather than having to go out and wryly dance around the pharmacy until the place empties before you grab a handful of incontinence pads, you can simply jump online and organise whatever you need.

The beauty of Comfortline is that you can use its set-and-forget subscription service. Say, for example, you know you use one packet of incontinence pads a week. You can order four packets to be delivered, completely discreetly, to your door every month, without having to re-order every time. It’s a subscription service unlike any other.

Your daughter or granddaughter can use the service for tampons and pads, too. Your son or grandson can use Comfortline for buying condoms discreetly. Just as long as he doesn’t use them under this roof.

A massive 20% of Australians suffer from incontinence, but I’d wager that close to 0% openly admit their embarrassment to their friends (excluding the smiling confident women in the ads who have dozens of close friends who all have the same problem). Now you don’t have to hide in the aisles of your chemist to buy your incontinence products: Comfortline has you covered.
