All incontinence pads
Browse our range of adult incontinence pads, designed to help you stay dry, comfortable, and confident every day. Whether you need light, moderate, or heavy protection, we have discreet and reliable options for every need, from small disposable incontinence pads to secure belted incontinence pads.
Small & large incontinence pads
Small Incontinence Pads are anatomically shaped to fit close to the body, helping to provide protection against leaks.
Small Incontinence Pads and Liners can usually be worn in your existing underwear and offer protection against lighter leaks, while often being a lot more discreet than most other disposable incontinence products.
Large Incontinence Pads are designed for moderate to heavier levels of urinary incontinence and faecal incontinence, offering superior absorbency levels to smaller pads for incontinence. We would recommend using Large Incontinence Pads in conjunction with Fixation Pants as a 2-piece system to hold the pad securely in place to help prevent leaks.
Rectangular insert pads
Rectangular Insert Pads are a more traditional and basic style of incontinence pad and don’t offer as many design features to prevent leaks, like a contoured shape or leak guards. They can be used as a booster pad inside other products for extra absorbency or worn inside your regular underwear.
Belted incontinence pads
Belted Incontinence Pads combine the convenience of a pad with the secure fit of a brief. The adjustable belt keeps the pad comfortably in place, even during movement, providing extra peace of mind for those with moderate to heavy incontinence. They’re easy to put on and take off, making them an excellent choice for both independent users and caregivers.
Incontinence liners
Incontinence liners are the most discreet option for managing light leaks or drips. Thinner and smaller than traditional pads, liners are designed for very light bladder leakage and can be worn with your own underwear. They’re perfect for daily freshness, providing a subtle layer of protection without bulk.
Incontinence Pads FAQs
What are incontinence pads?
Incontinence pads are absorbent products designed to manage bladder leaks. They’re usually long and rectangular to fit comfortably in the gusset area of your underwear. There are two main types: large-shaped pads, which offer heavy-duty protection for big leaks and are often used by people with more severe or chronic incontinence, and discreet pads, which are slim, adhesive-backed pads that handle lighter leaks and stay hidden under everyday clothing.
How often should incontinence pads be changed?
Discreet pads, which are smaller and designed for lighter leaks, usually need changing more often than large-shaped pads. You don’t have to change them after every small leak, as they’re designed to lock away moisture and odour, so you can often wear them through a few light leaks before needing to replace them. However, if the pad reaches its absorbency limit or feels uncomfortable, it’s time for a change.
Large-shaped pads are made for bigger leaks and have higher absorbency, so they don’t need changing as frequently. You should change them before they become too full to avoid leaks or discomfort. See our full blog on how often you should change your incontinence pads for more information.
How do you dispose of incontinence pads?
Used incontinence pads should never be flushed down the toilet. Instead, remove the pad, fold it in on itself using the adhesive strip to keep it closed, and place it in a sanitary or nappy disposal bag to contain any odour or leaks.
Once bagged, dispose of it in your general household waste bin since most incontinence products are not recyclable. If you’re out in public, use a sanitary bin if available. Read our blog on how to dispose of incontinence products at home for more guidance.
How do you put on incontinence pads?
To wear incontinence pads correctly, follow these simple steps to stay dry and comfortable:
- Choose the right pad: Pick the right size and absorbency level for your needs — discreet pads fit in regular underwear, while large-shaped pads work best with special fixation pants.
- Prepare your underwear or fixation pants: Pull them up to just above your knees so you have room to place the pad.
- Open and shape the pad: Unfold the pad and fold it lengthways to create a slight cup shape — this helps the anti-leak cuffs work properly.
- Position the pad: Place it between your legs from front to back, with the larger end towards your back. Make sure the backsheet faces away from your skin.
- Secure it in place: If using discreet pads, stick the adhesive strip to your underwear. If using large-shaped pads, position it centrally inside your fixation pants.
- Pull up and adjust: Pull your underwear or fixation pants up over the pad and smooth everything out to remove creases. Make sure the pad fits snugly against your body to prevent leaks.
Always check the fit when sitting or moving, as your pad should feel secure and comfortable, without rubbing or gaps. If your pad feels too big or too small, try a different size for better protection. For a full guide, see our blog on how to wear your incontinence pads.
