1 in 3 women experience bladder sensitivity and incontinence(1), but only 27% use products designed to suit their needs.(2) On average, it can take women up to 10 years to start using purpose-made protection, which can be due to stigma, shame or confusion over which products to buy. It is a similar situation for men. Today, 1 in 4 men experience some form of urine leakage(1), but only 5-7% use the right products(3).
These statistics show the scale of people living with incontinence, and the support they need in finding the right purpose-made protection. As a pharmacist, you are in a unique and trusted position to help, with around 70% of shoppers(4) preferring to buy incontinence products in pharmacies due to the pharmacist’s knowledge and assortment on offer. Data also shows that positive customer interactions are more likely to lead to more returning, loyal, customers. This means better care for your shoppers, and better business for you(4).
