Types of Bladder Control Pads

There are a few different types of bladder control pads that fit different incontinence needs.

Bladder Control Pads for Women

Many women experience urinary leakage due to things like aging, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or other medical conditions. These factors may weaken pelvic floor muscles and cause urinary incontinence.

Bladder control pads are the perfect solution for women managing these issues who are looking for a discreet alternative to adult protective underwear or adult diapers. These pads are designed to fit the female body. Incontinence pads for women come in a variety of absorbency levels and are worn inside the underwear.

Male Guards for Men

Some men may experience incontinence due to aging, prostate surgeries, and other medical conditions. Certain male incontinence products are perfect for controlling any level of leakage a man might experience.

Male guards are designed to manage urinary incontinence in men. Male guards are specifically designed to fit the male anatomy, providing comfortable and discreet protection against bladder leaks or urinary dribbling.

These incontinence liners are small and contoured so wearing them inside underwear is comfortable. They are designed to fit snugly against the penis and are held in place by an adhesive strip. This helps to prevent leaks and keeps the pad securely in place while wearing. Male guards are available in a range of absorbencies, from light to heavy.

Unisex Bladder Control Pads

Unisex incontinence pads are made for both men and women with incontinence. They are contoured to fit every body type, shape and size comfortably. Unisex pads ensure anyone who wears them feels confident about their bladder protection.

    Size & Shape

    Bladder control pads come in a variety of sizes, so it's important to choose one that fits comfortably and securely. Our bladder pad sizes vary based on the level of absorbency you need, but they vary from regular pads to long pads. These sizes can fall anywhere from 7.5” to 16”.

    Regular Length: Typical-length pads starting at 7.5”

    Long Length: Longer pads that cover from front to back starting at 8.35”

  • Breathable Material

    Bladder control pads are made with soft, breathable materials that are gentle on the skin and prevent irritation. They may also contain absorbent polymers in their core that wick away moisture.

  • Odor Control

    Odor Control

    Unlike menstruation pads, bladder control pads are equipped with odor-controlling technology that traps in scents before they start, giving you a fresh feeling all day long.

    Bladder control pads have adhesive backings that keep the pad in place by sticking to your undergarments. This provides a secure fit and ultimate leak protection that lasts until you change the pad.
