PAD003 What to call "it"?

Logo by Teija Hakala (c)

In the third episode of Pad Leaks (recorded over a year ago), Tiina Vaittinen discuss with Dr Christopher Chatterton. Chris is our colleague in the Pad Project, but also a coauthor in the International Continence Society (ICS) report on the terminology for “single‐use body worn absorbent incontinence products” that was published in Neurourology and Urodynamics in 2020. In this episode, we discuss with Chris, what this report was about, and what the term “single-use body worn absorbent incontinence products” refers to. We also discuss the power of stigma in talking about continence products, and how the stigma operates differently in different contexts – and different languages.

The episode was edited by Timo Uotinen.

Will we ever see incontinence products made from 100% renewable materials?

Incontinence pads are also about forest industry

Forest industry may not be the first thing to associate with something as intimately embodied as incontinence care.

Producing the fluff to the pads’ absorbent layers, it is, however, a key industry in the production of the pads.

While solving the question of  sustainable land usage remains key for the sustainability of forest industry, it may also provide solutions for a more sustainable future for adult incontinence care.

Along with a range of experts from other fields, our project’s PI, Tiina Vaittinen, was interviewed for this podcast, produced by Stora Enso, which asks:

Will we ever see incontinence products made from 100% renewable materials?

PAD003 Inkontinenssin etiikkaa ja taloutta synnytyksistä dementiaan

Image: Teija Hakala (c)

Tässä loppukesästä 2020 nauhoitetussa jaksossa vieraana on tutkija, fysioterapeuttitaustainen filosofi Anna Rajala. Tunnustamme – ehkä hieman banaalilla tavalla – kuinka meitä yhdistää akateeminen kiinnostus kakkaan, mutta sitten keskustelemme vakavia muun muassa dementiasta, etiikasta, synnytyksen jälkeisen inkontinenssin hoidosta ja hoitamattomuudesta – ja aina vähän taloudestakin.
