Download Our FREE Guide to Incontinence & Toileting
As a family caregiver, a common caregiving responsibility includes helping your loved one with incontinence care and toileting.
Although rarely talked about, urinary incontinence affects between 25-30% of older men and women, according to the Urology Care Foundation. Similarly, bowel (or fecal) incontinence affects about 1 in 12 adults.
Intimate issues involving bodily functions can make for challenging conversations, but the right resources make things easier. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive downloadable guide to incontinence & toileting.
What our Incontinence & Toileting guide covers
Our Carewell Guide to Incontinence and Toileting is designed to answer the most common incontinence and toileting-related questions and challenges that family caregivers face.

How to measure and choose the right size of incontinence products
The differences between pull-on briefs and disposable underwear with tabs
What the right fit should feel like for pull-on briefs and disposable underwear with tabs
