Urinary leakage : discover products

Urinary incontinence is a relatively common problem that can have a significant impact on quality of life. Choosing an absorbent product that retains urine effectively can allow people who are incontinent to continue their daily activities and prevent them from feeling socially isolated.

DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT PADS

Absorbent pads for urinary incontinence are different from sanitary pads in that their absorbent material is designed specifically to retain urine and mask its odour. They are good for light to moderate leakage.

Pads come in various sizes and absorbencies. There are also cup-shaped guards designed specifically for the male anatomy.

It is recommended that men wear form-fitting briefs with the guard or pad placed toward the front of the brief so it sits snug against the body. Women should place the pad in the middle of their panties.

Always® Discreet* Incontinence Pads

Always® Discreet Long Length Incontinence Pads feature a new design that is 40% thinner for maximum comfort and discreetness. Rest easy knowing that Full-length Dual LeakGuards and OdorLock technology ensures you feel confident and protected using Always Discreet incontinence pads.

DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT UNDERWEAR

There are two types of absorbent underwear: incontinence underwear that looks a lot like everyday undergarments, and other models with adjustable side tabs. All absorbent underwear comes in various sizes and absorbencies. There are unisex models as well as women’s or men’s models for which the range of sizes and the positioning of the absorbent material is adapted to the male or female anatomy.

Since incontinence underwear cannot be adjusted to fit more snugly, it is important to choose the right size. If it’s too big, there’s a risk of leakage, and if it’s too small, it will be uncomfortable to wear.

Adjustable underwear can be made more form-fitting, to prevent leaks. What’s more important is that you don’t need to get undressed to put them on or remove them. This can be convenient, especially for people who are bed-ridden or have reduced mobility.

PROTECTING THE SKIN

To prevent skin irritation, it is important to remove the wet product as soon as possible, and to wash and dry skin thoroughly before replacing with a clean one. It can be helpful to apply a protective cream, to avoid skin irritation.
