PHILADELPHIA, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Incontinence is often associated with the elderly and infirm but new research by TENA, a global leading provider of incontinence products, shows that a lack of bladder control is becoming increasingly common in the US. From adult bedwetting to temporary loss of control during exercise, urinary incontinence affects a wide range of American citizens – and it’s on the rise.
TENA’s research shows that more than 1 in 4 (28%) searches related to incontinence are also related to menopause, a common time for bladder weakness to strike. Demand for information is also growing by 3% each quarter.
At state level:
American citizens are also increasingly likely to turn to the internet for advice:
“In my mind, it’s something that only happens to women with kids or older women. I’ve never been pregnant, and I’m in my mid-30s, so it seems like I’m too young to be dealing with this,” said Allison Grant, a 34-year-old woman experiencing incontinence.
Hazel Villarreal, Marketing Director of TENA North America, said, “The data reveals a growing awareness and proactive approach to managing incontinence. It’s heartening to see individuals taking the initiative to seek out information and solutions to improve their quality of life.”
TENA is looking for the media to provide support as they look to ease social stigma and improve quality of care for all US citizens experiencing incontinence. Publishing this research is the first step on that journey.
