Incontinence and bed wetting affect millions of Australians yet we rarely talk about it. For many, the stigma and silence surrounding incontinence can be as difficult to deal with as the condition itself.
This World Continence Week, Staydry is shining a light on incontinence awareness, body positivity, and the importance of breaking taboos. It’s time to support every body with dignity, confidence, and understanding.
Why Incontinence Stigma Needs to End
Despite how common incontinence and bed wetting are, many people still feel embarrassed or ashamed. This can lead to:
Avoiding social situations
Low self-esteem
Increased anxiety or depression
Poor sleep quality
By encouraging open conversations and offering practical solutions, we can help remove the shame and normalise the experience of living with incontinence.
Body Positivity and Incontinence
Everyone deserves to feel good in their body and that includes those managing incontinence or bed wetting.Body positivity means accepting your body for all that it is, and finding products that help you feel comfortable and supported.
Modern solutions like waterproof underwear and discreet, breathable quilt covers make it easier than ever to manage leaks without sacrificing comfort or confidence.
Incontinence Awareness: Let’s Talk About It
Did you know?
1 in 4 Australians will experience some form of incontinence in their lifetime
Bed wetting affects 15-20% of Aussie kids aged 5-10, but also teens and adults
Men experience incontinence too, especially after prostate surgery or with ageing
The more we talk about incontinence and bed wetting, the more we empower people to seek help, try new products, and regain confidence.
