Picking The Right Protection

Light leakage usually involves occasional drops or small dribbles. It may happen when coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or lifting.

Products to consider include:

• Liners

• Light bladder-control pads

• Men’s protective shields

Moderate leakage may involve larger or more frequent leaks, such as losing urine before reaching the toilet.

Products to consider include:

• Longer or more absorbent pads

• Men’s guards

• Light-to-moderate pull-up pants

Heavy leakage may involve large amounts of urine, frequent leakage or complete bladder loss.

Products to consider include:

• High-absorbency pull-up pants

• All-in-one briefs

• Products designed for heavy bladder leakage

If leakage occurs while sleeping, choose a product designed to provide additional absorbency and coverage overnight.

Products to consider include:

• Overnight pads

• Night pull-up pants

• High-absorbency briefs
