The Continence Product Advisor was created by an editorial team based at University College London and the University of Southampton in partnership with a web design team at the International Continence Society (ICS). Based on the findings of the recently published fifth International Consultation on Incontinence, it aims to make independent, evidence-based advice available and accessible to incontinence product users first and foremost, but also to healthcare professionals, purchasers and manufacturers. It is:
· Independent: written and reviewed by continence healthcare professionals and users of continence products.
· Evidence-based: where possible content is based on evidence (or expert opinion if evidence is lacking) with references to sources.
· Generic: focuses on product designs and types without reference to branded products, except when essential.
· Not-for-profit: no advertising is displayed, the development and maintenance of the website is funded through educational grants.
· International: linked to information in different countries for supplementary local advice on product availability, guidelines and regulations.
