Can I use feminine hygiene products for incontinence?
While they may look similar, menstrual pads won't offer as much protection and comfort as incontinence pads, which are specifically designed to absorb the fast flow of urine leakage.
What type of protection is right for you?
Look for the absorbency information on the label to make sure the protection fits your needs.
Light
When small drips occur after a laugh, cough or jump, look for light protection. Liners and light pads offer better protection for lighter leaks.
Moderate
If leakage is more stream-like, try moderate absorbency. Moderate pads and incontinence underwear provide ideal protection for moderate streams.
Heavy or overnight
Maximum absorbency products help with full bladder leaks and surges, or overnight protection. The most absorbent pads or incontinence underwear are ideal.
Which additional products are right for caregiving?
Bed Protection
Accidents often happen at night and protective underwear isn't always sufficient. Underpads help bedding stay dry and protect mattresses from damage.

Shop nowCloths & Wipes
Cleansing after accidents is an important part of incontinence care, as urine can irritate skin. Wipes are thinner, similar to baby wipes, while cloths made from heavier fabric feel more like washcloths.
