Briefs & Diapers

If you prefer reusable products that you don’t have to continue purchasing, you should consider leak-proof briefs. This type of protective underwear is soft, comfortable and stretchy. Plus, it’s designed with a special leak-proof lining that provides maximum protection. This means you’ll never have to worry about changing your undergarments throughout the day. What’s more, you’ll never feel limited in your choices as there is an assortment of color options. Briefs are machine washable but to keep them in great condition for an extended period of time, hand washing is suggested.
Depending on your individual needs, you might be better off with adult diapers. This product consists of a top sheet, a distribution layer, and an ultra-absorbent core. Typically, the top sheet is made to be extremely porous, so any liquid that leaks through is fully absorbed by the core. The distribution layer works to move liquid away from your skin and down to the absorbent core, which is where it becomes trapped in place. As a result, you remain dry and clean.

Disposable Pads

If you would rather consider one-time use products, disposable incontinence pads are an ideal option. You’ll have sufficient leak protection and can dispose of the product after use. If cost is a concern, this option is quite affordable. You even have the option to save time and money by buying in bulk, which is important to many users.

Washable Pads

Another option you might want to consider is washable incontinence pads. This is an excellent choice because they’re both reusable and discreet. Not to mention, you’ll never have to be worried about running out of the product because all you have to do is wash it. This is a sensible product because it saves time and money in the long run. It’s also a more environmentally friendly option. You’ll wash your incontinence pads by scrubbing them gently with a detergent until clean. You can also soak them overnight or for a few hours in water and vinegar.
