Using Incontinence Pads As A Part Of Your Management Strategy


Incontinence pads simply life and improve discretion
when suffering from incontinence.
Incontinence pads are a useful part of the incontinence management strategy. When combined with other incontinence products, pads offer protection against fluid leaks. Bed pads can protect furniture, bedding, and mattresses. They can simplify life, reduce laundry, and improve discretion for those suffering from incontinence, regardless of how severe the incontinence is. With over 200 million people worldwide suffering from some degree of incontinence, pads are a great option.


Here’s what you should consider:

First and foremost, when discussing incontinence pads, there are two options, bed pads, and absorbency pads that are placed in underwear.

Designed for skin protection. Incontinence pad are designed for skin protection. They are made to wick moisture away from the skin, and trap it in an absorbent core, protecting both the skin and the furniture from fluid. If an individual overflows their adult diaper, or other incontinence product a pad can catch the excess, and help keep skin healthy.

Disposable. While there are reusable, washable options, disposable pads can be used to simplify life. They can be placed on furniture, or beds, and when they have been soiled, they can be disposed of, protecting bedding, and mattresses, and saving you tons of time and laundering.

Odor protection. Incontinence pads can offer additional odor protection. The pads that can be worn in the underwear can be used in conjunction with other products, or used on their own to reduce any smells associated with bladder control.

Brand specific features of incontinence pads worn in underwear:

Poise: Poise offers Absorb-Loc® core which quickly locks away wetness and odor and the Leak-Block* sides give you discreet and worry-free protection. This is great for women who are active, working professionals that need extra protection and discretion.

DryComfort: DryComfort offers oval-shaped elastics that hug the body and a contoured design with targeted absorbency for more comfort and greater security. In addition, they offer a great help to care givers with a wetness indicator, which alerts you that the pad has been soiled and needs to be changed.

Attends: Attends offers a triple-tier moisture locking system (pH-reducing fibers, microporous acquisition layer, super absorbent polymer) for great absorbency, skin protection, and odor control.

As you can see, each incontinence pad offers its own unique benefits. To find the best fit and best product for your needs, consult the well-trained product specialists at The CareGiver Partnership by calling 800-985-1353 M-F 9-4 Central.
