Women’s Incontinence Supplies (2025)

Our absorbent pads work with regular underwear, while booster pads enhance incontinence underwear or adult diapers. Liners provide additional absorbency for light leaks.

Period underwear and incontinence underwear or incontinence briefs (adult diapers) share some similarities in terms of design, but they are very different when it comes to construction and absorbency levels. Period underwear typically absorbs 25 mL of liquid, or one-tenth of a cup, but they are designed to absorb menstrual blood, a liquid that is thicker than urine. Incontinence products are designed for bladder leakage specifically. Because incontinence underwear is designed to hold over 1400 mL of urine, or 6 cups. Individuals with moderate to heavier leaks should choose to wear incontinence underwear instead of period underwear to prevent leaks and maintain proper skin hygiene and comfort.

Yes, you can wear incontinence pads or liners overnight. Incontinence pads or liners are specifically designed to provide protection against urinary leaks and are suitable for use during both daytime and nighttime. Consider using an Overnight Pad, specifically designed for overnight use. These pads tend to be longer and more absorbent, providing extended protection and minimizing the need for frequent changes during the night. Another option for nighttime protection are disposable and washable under pads or bed protectors. These absorbent mattress protectors provide bedding protection while you sleep. They are typically very absorbent and can provide a backup to ensure no urine damages your furniture or linens.

Unfortunately, Medicare Parts A, B, and D do not currently offer coverage for any absorbent incontinence products or hygiene items. This includes things like diapers, pads and guards, as well as wipes and other incontinence skincare. However, there are some Medicare Part C, also called Medicare Advantage, plans available in various parts of the country that offer OTC benefits, which may extend to incontinence supplies, including adult diapers and hygiene products. Medicare Part C plans are offered by private insurance companies with Medicare approval, and they are only available in specific areas.

The number one cause of leaks when wearing incontinence products is a bad fit. Make sure you are measuring your waist and hip circumference accurately and comparing to the size chart of the incontinence brand you are buying from. There is no one universal size chart for incontinence products so make sure to consult the size chart each time you buy a new incontinence product.

If you struggle with bowel incontinence, disposable incontinence products are a superior choice to menstrual products. Incontinence pads, diapers, briefs, and liners all feature more secure odor protection, leak protection, and are designed to absorb more liquid or waste. Many incontinence products are designed to work for both urinary incontinence and bowel incontinence. It is also important to change your incontinence underwear or pad immediately after a bowel leak as prolonged exposure to fecal matter can damage the skin.

Skin irritation is very common when using incontinence products especially if you suffer from sensitive skin. The most important step you can take is to keep the skin dry. You can do this by changing your disposable pad or diaper immediately after a leak, or using booster pads to provide easier changes. Staying dry is essential to protecting the skin from urine and fecal matter. Another step you can take is to apply a barrier cream. Barrier creams protect the skin from moisture from urine, fecal matter, or sweat, chafing, and dryness.
