Incontinence pads
Discreet pads for urine leakage
Are you experiencing unpredictable urine leaks, whether after childbirth, while exercising, laughing and walking, or at any time of the day? Try incontinence pads that provide the perfect protection for light and medium urine leaks and keep you dry, safe and comfortable all day long.
What is incontinence?
Incontinence, or the unwanted leakage of urine, is a very common problem that affects on average one in four women, but it also affects men. It can occur during pregnancy and after childbirth or in old age, but it can also result from diabetes, trauma, surgery or a urinary tract infection. The causes of incontinence can therefore vary, depending on gender and age. However, this is not only a health issue, but also a social one, as urine leakage can make all your daily activities unpleasant.
Incontinence pads vs. menstrual pads
Despite the fact that pads for urine leakage are applied to underwear just like menstrual pads, we should not confuse the two. Incontinence pads have a special finish, which removes bacteria and waste substances from the urine from the pad’s surface, locking them deep inside the pad to prevent skin irritation or infections.
How to understand the types of incontinence pads
Incontinence pads are therefore disposable hygiene products that absorb fluids quickly, neutralise odours and are also breathable. Anatomically shaped incontinence pads for men and women are available, which you can easily select by size, shape, colour and level of absorbency, indicated by the number of drop symbols on the packaging.
Urine leakage pads by absorbency
- 1 to 4 drops on the product packaging symbolise pads designed for light leakages of urine, for example, when sneezing or laughing or during physical exertion.
- 5 to 7 drops on the packaging indicate incontinence pads for women and men with moderate incontinence.
- 8+ drops on the packaging means incontinence pads for the elderly and those suffering from more severe types of incontinence.
Special types of incontinence pads
- Mini incontinence pads are similar to women’s panty liners and provide a sense of security against accidental light urine leakage.
- Night incontinence pads are longer and very comfortable maxi pads with a wider back to ensure perfect absorption when lying down.
- Organic incontinence pads suitable for sensitive skin are made of organic materials and do not contain latex, plastics or perfume and are not bleached with chlorine.
- Incontinence pads for men work for their different anatomy and have a fully customised shape for comfortable wear all day long.
Tip: Active pelvic floor strengthening helps to get the muscles back in shape and alleviate unwanted urine leaks. Try Kegel exercises or make your workout easier with fitness aids such as Kegel balls, a prenatal vaginal balloon or a vaginal trainer.
