All about incontinence pads and incontinence underwear

There are a lot of products out there!  This episode is all about incontinence pads and underwear.  When you are thinking about pads, it is important to use pads designed for bladder leaking- they work better.  The most common pads in stored are Poise, Depends, Always discrete, Tena, and Kroger generic.  I think it is always a good idea to look at the websites before you go to the store, so you have an idea of what would work for you.  The different types of pads describe their absorbency in different ways- there isn't one system- so it is hard to compare them.  If you try a few that don't work for you, there are a few websites that offer recommendations or have experts you can talk to.  These include:
home care delivered https://www.hcd.com/need-medical-supplies/products/
the National Association for Continence https://nafc.org/
Carewell https://www.carewell.com/

Some women have very sensitive skin and pads can be irritating.  There are pads that are designed for more delicate skin.  many of these are found online.  Always discrete has some pads for sensitive skin, as do Honeypot, Elyte, and AttnGrace.  So if your current pads are bothering you, check out these additional brands.
