What Are Booster Pads?
Booster pads are disposable, absorbent inserts designed to be worn inside another incontinence product, such as a diaper or pull-on.
By adding extra absorbency, they help manage leaks, which may reduce the risk of developing painful skin conditions such as incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).
Aeroflow Urology offers $0 booster pads for girls and boys through Medicaid or insurance for children with a documented medical condition that causes incontinence.
This can include the following conditions or disabilities:
-
Autism
-
Cerebral palsy
-
Down syndrome
-
Sanfilippo Syndrome
-
Stroke
Note: Coverage for incontinence booster pads through Medicaid or insurance varies by plan and state. To qualify, your child must meet age requirements and have a documented condition that causes incontinence.
What’s the Difference?
Booster Pads vs. Bladder Control Pads
Booster pads add extra absorbency to diapers or pull-ons, but typically don’t have a waterproof backing. Bladder control pads, also called incontinence pads, have a waterproof backing strip to help prevent leaks, and can be worn on their own in regular underwear.

Features & Benefits of Booster Pads
Improves Absorbency
Booster pads can add absorbency inside of diapers or pull-ons. Many have a flow-through design that lets excess liquid pass into the primary product.
Helps Prevent Leaks
Extra absorption helps reduce leaks, especially during overnight wear. Fewer leaks may reduce the need for frequent changes.
Keeps Skin Clean
Wearing a booster pad can help pull moisture away from the skin and into absorbent layers, keeping your child’s skin healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can booster pads be worn by themselves in regular underwear?
No, you should never wear a booster pad by itself. Booster pads are designed to be used inside a disposable diaper or pull-on to help absorb any excess liquid. However, you can wear bladder control pads, also called incontinence pads, without any other products in regular underwear.
Where do I place my booster pad?
Place the booster pad inside your diaper, brief (protective underwear), or pull-on, directly on top of the absorbent core. Make sure it sits between the inner leak guards and fully inside the raised leg cuffs to help prevent leaks.
Can you stack booster pads?
You can stack booster pads if you need extra protection in certain instances, such as preventing overnight leaks. However, before stacking an incontinence booster pad, make sure that you’re wearing the right size incontinence supplies.
Do booster pads come in different sizes?
Booster pads, also called diaper doublers, are available in a standard size, typically 10 to 15 inches long for adults and children. Children’s booster pads are available in smaller sizes, but can be adjusted to fit your child’s needs and age.
Are there booster pads for adults?
Yes, there are booster pads made specifically for adults. However, Aeroflow Urology only offers free booster pads for kids who meet certain requirements and have a documented condition that causes incontinence. You can check your child’s coverage for no-cost booster pads by filling out our secure qualify form.
What are diaper booster pads?
Diaper booster pads are another term for booster pads. Both are absorbent pads that you place inside of an incontinence product, such as a diaper or pull-on, to add extra protection against leaks.
Does insurance cover booster pads?
Yes, insurance can cover booster pads. Your insurance may be able to pay for the full cost of your products, meaning you could get them for free through insurance, such as Medicaid.
Are booster pads covered by Medicaid?
Booster pads may be covered by Medicaid, but coverage depends on your state, Medicaid plan, diagnosis, and medical need. Check if you qualify for free booster pads for kids through Medicaid by filling out our secure, 2-minute qualify form.
