• Urge incontinence - intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary urine loss
• Overflow incontinence - frequent and constant dribbling  due to bladder not emptying properly
• Functional incontinence - Physical or mental impairment ie: severe arthritis, inability to unbutton pants in a timely manner
