What to consider when choosing incontinence aids 

People come in all shapes and sizes. Fortunately, incontinence aids can be tailored to your individual needs and are available in many shapes, sizes and styles.

By Gender

For men

Incontinence products for men are anatomically designed for a close and comfortable fit with highly absorbent material. They have anti-odor agents that are concentrated where they're needed most.

For women

Incontinence products for women are anatomically designed to address urine leaks and are far superior in doing so versus menstrual pads. Women experience incontinence more commonly than men, often due to menopause, pregnancy and childbirth. Postpartum women often find incontinence products to be more comfortable than the pads from the hospital.

Absorbency and saturation level

Depending on the severity, incontinence aids fall into these levels of absorbency: light, moderate, heavy and maximum. The absorbency level will determine the amount of liquid it can hold. Bladder control pads and disposable briefs come in a range of absorbencies that can hold anywhere from 1/4 to just under two cups.

Time of day

For daytime

Disposable pads and incontinence underwear are better suited to wear discreetly under clothing for daytime protection.

For overnight

Overnight incontinence aids have a targeted absorption area that draws away heavy bladder leaks and with side barriers to protect from leakage while creating a secure and comfortable fit. Overnight protection products can be used for those with heavy incontinence during the day.
