Male incontinence – let’s give men the support they need

When it comes to incontinence, too many men are still staying silent. This can be due to stigma, or uncertainty around what support is available. Studies show that 1 in 4 men experience some form of urine leakage(1), but only 5-7% use purpose-made protection(2). To help men get the support they need, we collected some useful information around male incontinence and the products available. This will help you provide more accurate product recommendations while building loyalty and trust.

Understanding how men feel about incontinence

At TENA, we talk to thousands of men every year. This helps us truly understand how men think and feel about incontinence. Our studies show that there is a lack of knowledge around the prevalence of urine leakage. There is also a lack of awareness about the support available. In fact, 2 out of 3 men are unaware that they can buy incontinence products specifically designed for men(3).

Our studies also show that while urine leakage may be a sensitive topic, 3 in 5 men want to discuss bladder weakness with a healthcare professional(4). In addition, 1 in 3 men would prefer to speak to a pharmacist than book a doctor’s appointment(5). This shows that, as a pharmacist, you have a unique opportunity to leverage your role as a trusted health expert and help men stay active.
