Working from home has its perks. No traffic. Your own tea or coffee. Wearing comfy clothes. But if you’re managing incontinence, working from home can also come with its own set of challenges — especially during those long Zoom calls that start as a 30-minute check-in, and somehow turn into a two-hour meeting.

It’s one thing to manage leaks when you’re in the office. It’s another when your workspace is your study room, your meetings don’t stop, and your bladder has a mind of its own. The discomfort starts to set in and suddenly you think ‘Can I really hold it in?’

Breaks Shouldn’t Mean You’re Not Committed

Working from home should mean flexibility. But sometimes, it actually means fewer natural breaks. No walking to meeting rooms. No “I’m just going to the bathroom.” It’s sit. Stare. Speak. Repeat.

If you’re managing incontinence, that static rhythm can feel like a trap. You need a routine that respects your body — not one that ignores it.

So here’s the good news: you can take control of your day without it becoming another full-time job.

Your WFH Toolkit

⏱ 1. Build breaks into your day

Block mini-breaks in your calendar — even if it's just five minutes every hour. Think of them as a chance to reset, refresh, and yes, relieve yourself without a last-second panic. Staying hydrated helps too — your bladder works better when you’re not dehydrated, so try pairing water sips with your scheduled breaks to stay ahead of discomfort.

Pro tip: Title them however you want —“admin,” “reset,” “coffee,” — you don’t need to explain. You just need the time.

🎥 2. Adjust your camera angle

Don’t want to draw attention when you need a quick escape? Tilt your webcam up slightly and back your chair up a bit. This gives you freedom to shift around or step away without notice.
 

Camera off? Totally fine. Just send a “Back in 2 mins” in the chat if you’re worried. Chances are, people are doing their own work and not keeping tabs.

💺 3. Upgrade to a comfy chair (without the medical feel)

We’re all for protection that works — but nobody wants their home office to feel like a clinic. Use a chair with an ergonomic design that supports your body, and one with good cushioning for extra comfort. Our Invizi Chair Pads are great for extra protection that makes everyday messes no big deal. They keep your space clean and offer the right amount of coverage without getting in the way.

🩲 4. Wear what works with you, not against you

Your day is made easier when you’re not distracted by the fear of leaks. That’s why wearing absorbent products like our Invizi Pants, will make you feel confident and stress-free, giving you more time to focus on your tasks instead of having a daily reminder of what you’re managing. Whether you’re leading the call or sitting through one, you deserve gear that’s as reliable as you are.

Let’s Take The Shame Out of Sitting Still

Managing leaks doesn’t make you weak. It doesn’t make you less capable, less focused, or less anything.
 

That fear of what if? That mental load of planning every move. You shouldn’t have to worry.

You deserve to be present on your calls, confident in your chair, and in control of your day. Not stressing over leaks. Not feeling like you need to over-explain. Just working. Living. Showing up.

You’re doing your best, and that’s what matters.
