Will one type of incontinence product suit all my needs?
This is your personal preference. You may find that you prefer a smaller, thinner incontinence pad during the day but need a larger, more absorbent incontinence pad at night if you experience leakage during the evening. Also, you might find that you prefer the convenience and ease of changing incontinence pads during a normal day but prefer the added leakage security of incontinence pant type products on long days out or special occasions.
Can I feel secure with wearing only a pad?
All our disposable incontinence pads contain “super absorbents” which absorb urine and lock it inside so you are kept dry. It is the amount of super absorbent contained within a product that determines how much it can absorb, not the product’s physical size.
Some products have "odor control", how does this work?
The super absorbents in the incontinence pad also have the added benefit of being pH neutral. This means that they work against the acidic nature of urine (which is what causes the ammonia smell) and prevent odor developing for up to 12 hours.
What is the difference between a feminine hygiene pad and an incontinence pad?
Feminine hygiene pads have odor managing properties and are designed for absorbing menstrual fluids, not urine. Therefore the speed at which they will absorb is different and they are more likely to break up over time, potentially causing leakage.
If I find that using one incontinence pad is not sufficient, can I just use two of my current incontinence pads together?
We do not recommend this option. It is unlikely you will get a good fit to the body, therefore leakage is more likely. Most incontinence products have a waterproof backing. If products are layered on top of each other, it is unlikely that any liquid will pass through to the second.
How often should I change my incontinence pad?
Many pads have "wetness indicators" that tell you when they need changing. Incontinence pads should be changed regularly even when not wet in order to maintain skin hygiene. Do not re-use a wet incontinence pad as it is likely to deteriorate more quickly and then cause leakage.
What are the benefits of washable incontinence products?
Washable briefs and underwear are more economical and environmentally friendly than. They   may be easier to store and look and feel similar to normal underwear. You should wash in hot water and keep several pairs.
