These are anatomically shaped, absorbent, disposable pads, which insert into regular underwear or fixing pants to help protect against urine and or bowel leakage.
They are anatomically shaped for a more comfortable fit and come in a variety of absorbency levels so you can find the pad to meet your individual needs. Disposable pads can be carried around with you, so you to change them when needed. They can also be thrown away after use and are therefore extremely hygienic and convenient.
Those who need support in managing incontinence may benefit from using this style of incontinence pad.
You need to consider what absorbency you need before purchasing. The absorbency level needed would depend on the severity of the incontinence, with the lower number or teardrops displayed on a product, the lower the absorbency level. It's important not to use a pad or pant with too high of an absorbency as they are designed to wick away moisture. If the absorbency is too high, the pad or pant will wick away moisture from the skin, which can make the area sore.
