Looking for clarity?
Know the type and level of incontinence. There are different types of incontinence that may require different pads to keep the user dry and comfortable. A good rule is to choose the smallest incontinence product to start and then adjust up if needed. The good fit should be snug and comfortable, and with the right absorbency.
Stress incontinence is urine leakage triggered by physical pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercise. Many people manage it with targeted pelvic floor training and a discreet incontinence pad designed for light to moderate leakage. If symptoms change or worsen, a healthcare professional can help assess the cause and next steps.
Incontinence pads are worn inside regular underwear or fixation pants and are often used for light to heavy leakage depending on the product. Incontinence underwear is an all-in-one option that combines the absorbent core and the underwear in one product. Incontinence briefs are typically chosen when higher absorbency and a secure fit are needed, especially for users with limited mobility or during night-time care.
Yes, although most of the incontinence products in our assortment are unisex, we do have some products more suitable for men or women. Our men’s incontinence pads are shaped to support male anatomy and front leakage, while many incontinence pads more suitable for women offer a different fit and distribution. The best choice is the option that stays in place, feels comfortable, and matches the user’s leakage needs.
The best incontinence pads for heavy leakage are those that meet the user’s absorbency needs and stay secure during movement and repositioning. Look for high-absorbency incontinence pads with fast intake and a dry surface to support comfort and reduce the risk of leakage, such as ABENA San. For many users with heavy leakage, fixation pants can help keep the pad in place.
Change frequency depends on the person’s leakage pattern, skin condition, and the absorbency level used. As a general principle, change the incontinence pad when it feels wet, becomes heavy, or if there is any sign of leakage or discomfort. A structured care routine and the right absorbency can reduce unnecessary changes while supporting skin integrity.
Side leakage often points to fit or positioning rather than absorbency alone. Check that the incontinence pad sits correctly and stays snug to the body, and consider a different size or shape. If the user moves a lot or needs assistance with repositioning, fixation pants or a more secure product type can help reduce leakage.
Treatment of urinary incontinence depends on the cause and may include pelvic floor training, bladder training, lifestyle adjustments, medication, or other clinical interventions. Incontinence products can support daily life and care routines while treatment is being evaluated or ongoing. For persistent symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice for assessment and guidance.
