4 Must-Have Accessories for Individuals with Bladder or Bowel Dysfunction

You're sitting in your car, staring blankly at the steering wheel, wondering what your next step will be. Your heart races. You look down and notice a large wet spot on your pants.
According to the Mayo Clinic, if you're managing neurogenic bladder or bowel dysfunction, you may experience loss of bowel control, constipation, and an inability to empty the bladder. Fortunately, there are products available to help with cleanups and leaks, whether you're in public or at home.
The right absorbent brief or pull-on underwear is your first line of defense. Briefs with a plastic exterior are best for bowel protection as they contain odors better than those with breathable backsheets. For urinary leaks, a highly absorbent pull-on like the GoSupreme Underwear offers excellent protection. Once you've chosen the right absorbent product, these four must-have accessories can further enhance your protection and convenience.
1. Cleanup & Skin Protection: NorthShore Supreme Quilted Wipes
NorthShore Quilted Wipes are larger than standard wipes (9" x 13") and designed for heavy-duty cleanups. Their strong, quilted texture resists tearing, making them reliable for incontinence care. Hypoallergenic and enriched with aloe and calendula, they provide a soothing, effective clean.
Customer Review:
“Excellent product. Fresh, clean-smelling, no perfumes or scents. Nice large sheet.” – Teddy M., NorthShore Customer
2. Odor Control & Disposal: NorthShore DiscreetShield Disposal Bags
When it’s time to dispose of a soiled diaper, using the right disposal bag can make a big difference. NorthShore DiscreetShield Disposal Bags are designed specifically for adult-sized incontinence products. The 10” x 18” bags feature handles for easy sealing and a fresh powder scent to help contain odors. Their opaque blue color also ensures discretion.
Customer Review:
“WOW! These put other bags to shame. I tried using grocery store bags but they just don't hide the odor like these do. They're strong, hide what's inside, and are large enough for an overnight diaper and other items I throw out.” – Betty B., NorthShore Customer
3. Surface Protection: NorthShore Champion XD Washable Underpads
These heavy-duty washable and reusable bed pads provide an extra layer of waterproof protection for bedding, furniture, or car seats. Available in multiple sizes (L-2XL), they can hold up to 67 ounces of liquid. Unlike lower-quality pads, the Champion XD's durable stitching prevents damage from high-temperature drying, ensuring longevity.
Customer Review:
“I bought these pads a year ago, and I use them all the time. These are, by far, the most absorbent, leak-proof, comfortable bed pads I've ever tried for my husband. Also, they stay flat and don't roll up or crinkle.” – Sammy G., NorthShore Customer
4. Advanced Absorbency & Leak Prevention: NorthShore Trifecta Diaper Cover
For individuals seeking an additional waterproof layer over their disposable briefs or absorbent underwear, the NorthShore Trifecta Diaper Cover is a game-changer.
