Internal Deodorant for urinary incontinence

Hello, I hope everybody is well. I was just wondering if anybody knows if internal deodorants help with urinary incontinence odor. Or if their is any other products similar to that to do so. I know they have more of an effect on bowel odors but just in general wasn't sure the answer
 
From what I've read here - Nullo works as an internal deodorant for bowel incontinence. While i don't suffer from daytime issues, for when i am with a partner - I wonder if Nullo would work for my bedwetting. I hate smelling a soiled brief in the morning. It sucks.
 
Hi greengold, not sure if internal deodorants help with urinary odours nearly as much as they do for bowel odours. I do take the nullo internal deodorant twice a day just as I was concerned as I started having the very occasional bowel issues a few years back and just to be safe I thought I should take a internal deodorant. Probably just super self conscious of the bowel issue than what was really warranted. Lol 😂 but whatever just laughing thinking back to it as it would happen like 3-4 times a year. So I consider myself very lucky in that regard. The other thing I would suggest if you are having urinary odours is start consuming way more fluids especially straight water. It sort of seems counterintuitive and yes it will cause you to have to go pee more however you will be diluting your pee so it will not be so concentrated and therefore will smell less. It’s sort of one of the things people do when they are new to urinary incontinence they start reducing their fluid consumption which just causes many more issues from odours, too irritating the bladder more and then the risk of urinary tract infections etc.

Not sure if consuming more fluids is something you could consider doing. Indirectly I get dry mouth symptoms from 2-3 of the medications I am on so I like to constantly nurse a beverage or water bottle throughout the day which then results in me having to urinate more which indirectly results in me having more accidents and very thankful I wear protection all the time. My other take to not start reducing my fluid consumption which may help with my urinary frequency requirements is that it probably aids my body in dumping toxins out of my body since I am on so many medications and supplements daily (like 42-45 pills a day).

It’s you give somewhere you benefit in one thing but then you are paying a price on something else. Oh the joys. All I can say is once I accepted wearing full diapers when I needed too it was just so freeing to just continue doing what I wanted too without always worrying if I was going to make it to the bathroom or where was the closest one.

I assume based on your post you are having issues with potent urinary odours and you are just seeking possible solutions. Many try increasing your water consumption, just a thought.

Wish you best of luck in whatever you do and maybe someone else can confirm or deny that internal deodorants help with urinary odours as I don’t think I have noticed a difference. But I could be delusional as I have been on them for over 2 years.
 
Hi @greengold4, Nullo is in tablet form and someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the main ingredient is chlorophyll which is supposed to be a natural deodorant. I've heard some people don't like taking it for various reasons. The best thing to do at this point would be to Google Nullo and read up on it.
I agree with Jwh51 that you would probably do well to just drink more water. It will thin out the urine and make any irritants less concentrated. Yes it will make you pee more but if you are prepared with the right amount of protection then it is still do-able. When I first realized I was having this problem we all share, I did cut back on drinking water, etc., but as I have learned over the years cutting back on water is the very last thing we need to do!
Another thing to try is cranberry juice as "they" say it's good for bladder issues. I like cranberry juice myself but I prefer what is called "lite" (not diet) cranberry juice since it doesn't have so much sugar. And as far as I'm concerned it tastes better than regular cranberry juice.
 
billliveshere: I too prefer the lite cranberry juice, not diet, but I like mine with champagne. The drink is called a poinsettia. Try it!
 
@Kathylp Wow!:D That sounds good! Hmmmmph! Don't have any champagne lying around the house! :( And It's nice to meet a fellow lite cranberry juice drinker! Cheers!🍺
 
I'm more of a mimosa guy if going with a drink with juice in it but typically lean more towards Moscow Mules and Whiskey and Cokes. I also drink a decent bit of apple juice because I had a gallstone a summer or two ago and apple juice is good for the gallbladder, and coffee or energy drinks often in the morning (I know caffeine probably doesn't help my bladder issues but I'd rather not be an unproductive angry person) And as far as internal deodorants go I do take chlorophyll which maybe helps a little I'm just not sure. Anything I can do to prevent odors is a plus just with the way I am there is often situations where I'm doing work for many hours straight and because of ADHD and ADHD meds I tend to hyperfocus and need to get work done during that time. Because of that often I'm not able to change for a long time and I also if at all possible don't want to drive home to change. So in general the more odor protection I can get the better.
 
That’s the joys of ADHD. Just curious if you are on a medication for ADHD as I am currently on vyvanse and previously concerta. Liked both honestly. Just get better coverage for vyvanse now so I can invest more. Lol.
 
I've been on vyvanse for many years. I'd prefer to not take meds because the side effects can be annoying but it is what it is
 
Yes, @notarobot, I agree wholeheartedly! :) More water flushes out your system and it's 100 percent natural. So it doesn't seem counterproductive to me when you look at the benefits. Water lessens urine concentration so there is less tendency toward odor.
