Adult Pads & Liners

Incontinence pads, guards and liners are designed for adults with relatively minor incontinence problems. Pads, guards and liners are all essentially beltless undergarments that are easily placed inside everyday underwear to absorb leaks. People with light or moderate incontinence will find these types of beltless undergarments an affordable and discreet solution. These items can also be used inside a moisture-proof reusable brief or inside a disposable brief.

While these beltless undergarments are usually lumped into a single category of incontinence supplies, pads are more often appropriate products for women. Most female incontinence pads feature an adhesive on their plastic backing to secure them in place, but there are brands that utilize leg cuffs. Whatever method is used, the secure placement is very important to prevent leakage of any liquid onto clothing. Some pads include special material—liquid absorbing polymers—that turns gel-like in the presence of moisture, trapping the liquid and keeping sensitive skin dry.
