Incontinence UK Reveal Some Frequently Asked Questions about Incontinence Pads

July 1, 2013 - PRLog -- A leading online store for incontinence pads and other related products, Incontinence UK, has revealed some of the most frequently asked questions about incontinence pads that they receive from their customers.

The questions and their answers are available via the official Incontinence UK site, where people living with incontinence can also purchase high quality incontinence products from the biggest brands in the industry.

Incontinence UK frequently asked questions about Incontinence Pads include:

What are the benefits of disposable incontinence pads?

The main benefit of disposable incontinence pads is that they can be thrown away after use, making them extremely and convenient. They’re easy to carry around and can be changed as and when you need to. But used incontinence pads and products should always be disposed of hygienically and never be flushed down toilets.

How do disposable incontinence pads work? How do they absorb so much?

All of the disposable incontinence pads contain ‘super absorbents’ which absorb urine and ensure that the user remains dry. The super absorbent within determines the level of absorption possible, and not the overall size of the product.

If a user feels one incontinence pad is not sufficient can they use two at once?

We do not recommend using two incontinence pads at once. It is unlikely they will experience a good fit and this could lead to leakage. The waterproof backing of the first pad means that the second is not necessary.

How often should incontinence pads be changed?          

Incontinence products are designed to be worn for 3-4 hours. Higher absorbency products are recommended during the night to ensure a comfortable sleep. Some larger incontinence pads feature a wetness indicator which tells the user when they need changing, but pads should be changed regularly, even when not wet, in order to maintain skin hygiene.

Can Incontinence UK send regular monthly supplies of pads to customers?

Yes. In fact, they recommend it so that users do not run out.
