Pads and Liners – The Benefits

Pads and liners offer a number of benefits for people who suffer from urinary incontinence. With absorbent cotton or other fabric, pads and liners quickly draw in urine and keep it locked away, so that no one needs to know you’ve had a leak. Both pads and liners are easy to apply and remove, and their packaging makes them discreet to carry and throw away. Many people prefer pads and liners over incontinence underwear because they can continue to wear their usual undergarments with this type of protection.

Pads vs. Liners

Liners and pads work similarly. Both types of incontinence protection stick to undergarments with adhesive and absorb urine in the event of leakage. The difference between the two is absorbency. Generally, incontinence liners are thin and lightweight. As a result, they can hold only small amounts of liquid. This makes liners best for people who suffer from light urine leakage, usually do to stress incontinence. Pads are thicker and more absorbent and can generally be used by individuals with moderate to even severe incontinence.

Considering Your Incontinence Protection Needs

When you're shopping for incontinence pads, begin by thinking about what your needs are when it comes to protection. Pads differ in their absorbency levels, so you'll want to choose an option that is in line with the severity of your incontinence symptoms. Each manufacturer has its own absorbency rating system. Most offer light, moderate and heavy absorbency options. If you only need to use incontinence protection while you sleep, you may want to consider overnight pads. These pads are extra absorbent and longer in size to offer ample protection throughout the night.

Other Points of Comparison

Once you have limited your search to the pads or liners that are the right absorbency level for your needs, you can examine the other features of the products. Some pads and liners are scented to help mask unpleasant odors and keep you feeling fresh. Incontinence liners and pads with wings wrap around the crotches of undergarments for a securer fit. Extra long liners and pads are available for individuals who need extra coverage. You can also consider how many pads or liners come in each package.
