Poise Incontinence Pads, Original Design, Ultimate Absorbency, Long, 90 Count (2 Packs of 45)

Product Information

We put each product’s odor control to the test by pouring apple cider liquid onto each pad, noting whether or not any scent came off the pad. We also took note of how well each pad covered the underwear and whether the pad felt comfortable to wear. A variety of incontinence bedding is also available, such as washable bed pads that sit on top of the mattress and soak up any overnight leaks. The pads stay dry to the touch and they can be useful for trips away from home. Can I get incontinence products on the NHS? When it comes to selecting the right incontinence pad, you want to look for one that will absorb all leakage, leave the surface of the pad dry, and feel comfortable against the skin. In our testing, we found the Poise Maximum Incontinence Pads did just that. We poured liquid on the pad and it soaked up every drop almost instantly. Not one drop of liquid rolled off the pad in our test, and when we pulled the pad off we found the underwear remained dry. When we pressed a finger into the pad it only felt slightly damp to the touch. After the pad absorbed the liquid, we found it was dry to touch. The underwear also remained dry underneath. Additionally, the pad assisted with masking some of the liquid’s smell. We did detect the occasional whiff, but the pad masked most odors.

to 4.7 stars: These incontinence pads are excellent—they might have minor flaws, but we still recommend them. Tena Intimates Overnight Pads provide peace of mind when used overnight because the pad’s ultra-large design helps soak up any liquid. At 12 inches long and 10 inches wide, this pad’s size should cover most of your underwear and leave it dry throughout the night. In fact, we found that although it took longer than others to absorb the liquid, the pad left our underwear feeling dry and free of any leakage. Nexwear Moderate Pads: When testing Nexwear Moderate Pads, we found the pad was able to absorb a moderate amount of leakage and prevent wet spots on the underwear. However, the pad had poor odor protection. Women commonly experience urine leakage temporarily after birth. This is because the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, bowel, and uterus, are stretched to accommodate birthing a baby. Based on our testing, we found that the Always Discreet Incontinence and Postpartum Pads are great for post-birth incontinence. After pouring 4 tablespoons of liquid on the pad, the pad soaked up every drop and left it completely dry to the touch.You may be able to get incontinence products on the NHS depending on your local integrated care board (ICB). Ask your GP for details of your local continence service. To qualify for NHS products you may need to be assessed by a healthcare professional. Where to buy incontinence products

Best of all, the pad also provides odor control for any leakage. We found that it largely masked any odor from liquids that were poured on the surface. This odor protection extended to the surface of the underwear as well. Despite the pad’s soft exterior, the material does pill if you rub it enough. Nonetheless, we found that the pad’s softness against the skin and high absorbency far exceed any pilling concerns. Incontinence pads and other products and devices can make life easier for you if you're waiting for a diagnosis or for a treatment to work.

Not only should an incontinence pad stop any leakage, but it should also feel comfortable enough for long-term wear. Tena Intimates Extra Coverage Ultimate Incontinence Long Pads were designed with both fit and comfort in mind. We found that this pad’s material would be most beneficial to individuals who have sensitive skin or are prone to chafing. When wearing an incontinence pad, especially while on the go, an important characteristic is that the pad is discrete by masking any odors from leakage. While incontinence pads come both unscented and scented to assist with the masking of smells, Charles Ascher-Walsh, MD, a leading physician in women’s health at Mount Sinai, recommends avoiding incontinence pads that are scented because they are more likely to irritate skin and cause allergic reactions.
