As people get older, like over 30, friends start teasing them on birthdays about canes, walkers, and incontinence products.
To the millions of people everywhere who suffer from incontinence, incontinence products are no joke.
The products are a major part of their daily lives.
Incontinence products today are made to not only be very effective in protecting one from embarrassment, but they are also designed for comfort and a lower chance of being detected by others.
Two other paper products we depend on for protection are paper hand towels and a couche roll.
We're all familiar with paper hand towels and how they protect us from sharing germs with strangers.
Some paper hand towels are even dispensed by a sensor so there is no need to touch a handle or button previously touched by someone else.
Germs and disease don't take a vacation, so protecting yourself and your family from unnecessary contact with them is easily accomplished merely by using the paper hand towels provided in public restrooms.
The couche roll may not be a term with which you are familiar.
It is the roll of paper that is torn off after each patient and then rolled out to a clean portion for the next patient in the doctor's office.
Can you even begin to imagine what kinds of germs and diseases are crawling on the couche roll? A clean, previously unused portion of the couche roll offers you a better chance of not contracting any additional diseases or germs while visiting your doctor.
Next time, you might want to say thank you to your health care professionals.
