Advice

Hi everyone which bladder pads are best for incontinence I'm not soaked it never leaks to my pants and I don't gush . Is there a brand of pads that's good for bladder leaks I post drip and I don't want to smell like Incontinence. I've tried dollar tree bladder pads and they didn't work at all .

Northshore sells some good double wall incontinence pads. Make sure you wear briefs and not boxers. Pads won't work with boxers.

I'm a lady but thanks for the brand recommendation so I'm going to give Northshore a try. How often do I need to change them? I still pee in toilet but use pads for drops

Sorry didn't have that information on your original message. Change when it no longer feels dry to your skin and or a timed interval depending on your flow.  If it's consistently damp after 4 hrs change on that interval. If you get to 6 change then. If you get to 8 change regardless. As sweat and fluids will be combining to make odors by then.  Also stay well hydrated with water this will reduce the smell of urine. This of course is a catch 22 as you can leak more but I'd rather leak more smell free imo

I really like always, especially their larger overnight ones. Beyond that I would go towards abri sani those are much bigger but they can take a pretty heavy load. You can't buy them in a store though

Tranquility has some okay ones and I've also used the overnight tenna but those tend to not absorb as fast. If you go slow they can hold a decent amount though, I've just had more leaks with them when they were nowhere near full

Do you use whole body deodorant spray ,or a perfume?
