Australians are flocking to a Geelong based multinational company to help manage their incontinence discreetly, confidently and comfortably. Incontinence is very common in the elderly, after prostate or other surgery, and many other conditions which is often denied due to embarrassment.

With an ever increasing focus on sustainability, people are searching for reusable, environmentally friendly products in preference to disposables which result in pointless rainforest destruction and contribute to landfill.

The Continence Foundation of Australia and the Royal Children’s Hospital state that:

·     *    Incontinence affects 1 in 4 people over the age of 15 and will not resolve on their own;

·    *     Incontinence does not discriminate, affecting young children, parents, those who have had surgery, grandparents and those with special needs;

·     *    1 in 10 children wet the bed up to 6 years of age;

·     *    Disposable incontinence products are more expensive over time and contribute to landfill.

 Users say: “Amazingly comfortable, attractive, and effective. This is as close to invisible that male incontinence can get. First time in years that my wardrobe selections have not been based on concealing my protective undergarment. It’s great to feel so confident again.”

Managing Director of Conni, Glenys Drayton says “ensuring our environment is safe for future generations is of utmost importance and can be achieved whilst people manage their incontinence in a cost effective way, allowing them to get back to living the life they love. If you’re looking to manage incontinence in a discreet and comfortable way, Conni products are ideal. Not only do our products reduce landfill but tropical forests, home to many species under threat remain unscathed, unlike production methods for companies providing disposable products.”
