Incontinence is a common condition that affects millions of people. An investigation study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that urinary incontinence will affect around 50% of women at some point during their lifetime. In men, the figure is somewhat lower, with approximately one in seven being affected.

Incontinence strikes at any age and for many reasons, but it is far more prevalent among older people or those with certain medical conditions. Although society is much more informed nowadays, and most of the taboos of days gone by have been tempered to a degree, incontinence is still stigmatized. It can still cause embarrassment and discomfort for the affected person as well as the person who may be caring for them.

Fortunately, modern medical technology provides us with a vast range of products and devices to help manage incontinence and mitigate the impact on our quality of life.

We plan to publish a series of articles in which we introduce and discuss various products related to the care of older adults. Hopefully, this will empower users or caregivers to make more informed choices. 

This article, the first of the series, focuses on adult diapers and booster pads or inserts, as they are the most commonly used products in an incontinence management cabinet. We will further divide the diaper category into two main types: pull-ups and briefs.  

Pull-Up Style Diapers

Pull-up style adult diapers, also called adult protective underwear, are designed to look and feel more like regular underwear than traditional diapers. They pull on and off just like underwear, making them easier to manage for people with more independence.  They are ideal for those with mild to moderate incontinence and offer discretion and comfort throughout the day.

Best Seller - Tranquility Premium OverNight Disposable Absorbent Underwear

This is a top-of-the-line super-absorbent incontinence product designed to provide maximum protection and comfort for people with moderate to heavy incontinence. The high capacity makes it one of the most trusted and versatile overnight diapers on the market.

Customer's Choice - Abena Pants Pull-On Absorbent Underwear, Level 0

Abena Pants are modern pull-ups that can be worn like regular underwear for moderate incontinence. They provide a tight but comfortable body fit that stays in place, even with active use. With the Top Dry System, Abena Pants offers complete discretion and breathable leakage protection that is kind to the skin.

 Newest Addition - Always Discreet Maximum Protection Underwear for Women

This underwear offers a sleek, snug-fitting design with a secure fit that feels just like your regular underwear. Crafted from a soft, silk-like fabric, they are noise-free and totally discreet, allowing you to wear them confidently and gracefully. The highly absorbent core transforms liquid into gel, preventing leaks within seconds and ensuring up to 12 hours of trustworthy, leak-free protection.

Briefs or Tab-Style Style Diapers

Brief-style (also called tab-style) adult diapers function more like baby diapers.  They open flat and fasten with adjustable tabs on the sides, offering a secure and customizable fit for various body shapes.  These diapers are ideal for heavy incontinence as they generally provide greater absorbency than pull-ups.

They’re also suitable for people with limited mobility as they can be changed without having to remove clothes completely or while the wearer is lying down. The tabs allow for a personalized fit for better comfort and security. While bulkier than pull-ups, briefs offer superior protection and a more secure fit for those who need it most.

		These skin-friendly briefs, featuring an additional Extra Dry System (EDS) non-woven layer, provide reliable protection from moderate to heavy incontinence. Their unisex design makes them ideal for users with varying activity and mobility levels.

Incontinence Booster Pads and Inserts

These are absorbent products worn inside or instead of underwear to soak up urine and prevent leakage. They come in different sizes, shapes, and absorbency levels to suit different needs and preferences. Some pads and pants have special features such as odor control, wetness indicators, or breathable materials. Depending on the type and frequency of use, they can be disposable or washable. 

Best Seller - Tranquility TopLiner Booster Pads
		TopLiner Booster Pads offer added absorbency and protection when used in conjunction with any disposable adult diaper. The TopLiner Booster Pad has a flow-through design, which means the pad will trap liquids until it is full to capacity. After that, any additional liquid passes through to the host undergarment below. This is a convenient and economical way to extend the use of any conventional adult diaper.
Customer’s Choice - Cardinal Health Curity OB Maternity Pad, Heavy
		Curity™ maternity pads are made of super-soft organic cotton that provides exceptional absorbency and comfort for postpartum care. The unique moisture barrier traps postpartum bleeding and the heavy flow that is common for a few days after giving birth. An innovative fluid dispersion system keeps liquids locked away and helps protect sensitive post-birth skin.
