Benefits of Protective Underwear and Briefs

Incontinence underwear and briefs can provide effective protection in the event of urine leakage or an accident. These products are designed to be worn in place of conventional underwear. Most protective underwear and briefs can be pulled on just like regular undergarments. In addition, the briefs and underwear often have tabs on the sides for easy removal.

Products for Him and Her

Some incontinence undergarments are designed specifically for men or for women. Men's products are often called protective briefs and feature extra absorbent material in the front. Women's protective underwear is extra absorbent in the center where women are most likely to experience leaks. Some manufacturers offer unisex protective underwear that can be worn by men or women. You can use the menu at the left to filter products by gender if you wish.

Comparing Absorbency Levels

One of the most important things to consider when choosing incontinence underwear and briefs is the absorbency levels of the available products. The higher the absorbency level is, the more liquid the incontinence protection can absorb. Each brand has its own absorbency level rating system. Most brands offer light, moderate, heavy and maximum or extra heavy options.

Considering Size

Another important consideration when comparing incontinence undergarments in size. Protective briefs and underwear that is too loose may gap and sag, increasing the risk of leaks. On the other hand, protective undergarments that are too tight may cause discomfort during the day. As with absorbency levels, sizing systems vary from brand to brand. Most brands use sizes, including small, medium, large and extra-large. Sizing may be based on waist sizes in inches, pants sizes or height and weight. To ensure that you select the right size for your needs, consult the size chart that appears on the packaging images or in the descriptions of the incontinence protection products.

Special Features
