J shares his story

The products I was able to find at NorthShore definitely helped me feel like I was able to manage at least some aspect of my unmanageable life.

I ended up having multiple surgeries which resulted in a lot of pelvic floor weakness, and then on top of it, ended up losing a great deal of weight to a like unhealthy level. As a result it was a very long and arduous process to get back to some semblance of retention at all.

Every single time I felt like I was at some new embarrassing situation that I didn’t know who to talk to about, I always found comfort and reassurance from the team and the staff here at NorthShore.

The products were able to allow me to go back to traveling to see family, being able to make it through physical therapy and occupational therapy and ultimately heal more by utilizing pull-ups and not having to rush to the restroom every time there’s any type of urge.

This company has a very big heart and I appreciate it.

Thank you for reading our customer stories.
