Although faecal incontinence does not generally present a serious threat to a person's health, it can have a negative impact on a person's quality of life, self-esteem and emotional well-being. The stigma of faecal incontinence is so great that according to NHS research only 20% of sufferers report their symptoms to their GP.
The Attends Faecal Pad is a new product especially designed for effective protection and containment of faecal incontinence. The pad is available in one size and is designed to manage only faecal incontinence, with improved leakage protection and containment versus traditional rectangular pads.
In addition Attends has a wide range of other products available to manage light to heavy faecal incontinence including Attends Pull-On pants, Attends Contours shaped pads and Attends Slips for more heavy/severe incontinence.
