subject: Incontinence Pads : Superior Protection Along With Great Comfort [print this page] Incontinence pads offer superior protection, comfort and appearances that are discreet. The market offers a wide range of disposable incontinence products which include: disposable incontinence pads, regular incontinence pads and shaped incontinence pads. Read on to know more about some widely used incontinence pads.
Incontinence pads are small sized impenetrable sheet combined pads that are usually multiple layered and have a high absorbency ability. These pads are mostly used by the medics to protect against incontinence when a patient is on a bed or a wheelchair. Some of these pads are designed to be laundered and re-used while others are made to be disposed once they are used although the disposable ones look more hygienic and are hence more preferred and recommended. The manufacturers of these incontinence pads also produce them in both heavy and light qualities but the heavy ones are less likely to be found in less developed countries due to their bulky nature that makes them uneconomical to transport.
Incontinence pads can be used by both women and men to absorb urine discharges and usually come in form of panty liners, sanitary pads, inserts and underwear replacements. People who suffer from incontinence conditions greatly benefit from these pads in numerous ways. A wide range of incontinence pads are available in the market today to choose from. All these products are available at fairly low prices and in enough stocks that can be delivered in the next day once you place an order.
One of the well-known incontinence pads is the pull-up underwear that is mostly used by people who love its usage simplicity and the fact that the product has a build-in extra pad that ensures maximum protection security. The one-time disposable pant can be worn just like regular underwear and is intended to keep the user, dry all day. Another incontinence pad product is the 'slips pad' designed to secure the user against leakages in more complicated incontinence cases such as heavier discharges or for people with immobile conditions. The product has more numerous layer slips than all the others and its sides are held by adhesive tapes that hold it in position.
Another product is the 'flex' product which mimics the features of the slip pad but with an added benefit of enabling the user to perform toilet activities without having to remove the product. Larger patients are also catered for by another incontinence pad product called the 'Bariatric slip' which is specially designed for extra comfort reasons. This particular product well fits the user to prevent discharge leakage on people with large waist sizes. There also exist traditional incontinence pads that are used for both heavier and average incontinence discharges. These types of pads were designed to be worn together with extra support pants that are mesh-like in appearance or with regular underwear pants.
The next product pad is the 'light incontinence pad' that handles light urinary discharges for those with light bladders and can fit the user's underwear pant to fit closely to the body. Another is the 'men pad' that is specially designed for moderate male urine discharge and is also to be worn with underwear. An 'Insert pad' is another product that is used for reinforcement purposes within other incontinence pads. For individuals with sensitive skin, there are incontinence products for them that are made up of cotton sheets to prevent irritation of skin.
