Reusable Incontinence Pads

Yes, reusable pads can be a good choice for light to moderate incontinence as they are designed to absorb fluids and are comfortable to wear. However, for heavy or full bladder incontinence, more specialized incontinence products would offer better protection and absorbency. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Washable incontinence pads work by having layers of absorbent material to capture and hold fluid, and commonly a waterproof backing to prevent leaks. After use, they can be rinsed, washed, and thoroughly dried before reusing. This reusable nature makes them an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and practical solution for managing light to moderate incontinence.

The frequency of changing an incontinence pad varies depending on individual needs and the severity of incontinence. Generally, it’s recommended to change the pad when it feels wet or uncomfortable, typically every 4 to 6 hours. However, more frequent changes may be necessary for heavier incontinence.

Yes, you can wear incontinence pads overnight. For extended use, consider a pad specifically designed for overnight wear, such as our Super Pad, as these usually offer greater absorbency and coverage. This can help provide a comfortable and worry-free night’s sleep.

No, reusable pads don’t typically produce a smell as they are free from chemicals and fragrances often found in disposable pads. Any natural odors are associated with menstrual fluid itself, which can be minimized with proper cleaning and care of the pads.
