Not all incontinence products are created equal. There are several attributes you should look for when choosing incontinence products. The amount and variety of incontinence products can be confusing, so we have compiled a list of some of the qualities to look for when purchasing incontinence products.
Durability- Quality incontinence products should perform as advertised, absorbing leakage in light, moderate and heavy amounts. They should never fall apart when wet and should be composed of several layers of dry weave.
Absorbency- A quality pad should be able to absorb many times its weight in urine without causing embarrassing leakage.
Backing- Many incontinence pads have a plastic backing to prevent urine from leaking through and staining your clothing. They may also have an adhesive strip that helps to hold the pad securely to your underwear.
Dry Weave- The pad or pants should be made of quality materials that wick moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and your skin free of moisture. Constant moisture against your skin can cause skin irritation.
Comfort- Quality pads should be contoured to fit your body comfortably without being too bulky. They should be comfortable enough that you can forget you are wearing one at all!
Keeping these criteria in mind should enable you to find just the right type of product to suit you and your lifestyle. DryForLife strives to include all of these qualities in their incontinence products, using only the best materials and quality workmanship.
