INCONTINENCE
Comparing & Using Incontinence Products
If you're wondering which incontinence products are best for managing light bladder leaks or full on bladder voids—we’re here to help!
Use this guide to understand the different types of incontinence products available by Always Discreet, learn about the different product sizes and absorbency options, and get answers to common questions about using Always Discreet incontinence products.
Types of Incontinence Products
Always Discreet offers three types of incontinence protection to help you manage bladder leaks. They include incontinence liners, pads and underwear. Incontinence protection is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The products you use to manage incontinence can vary depending on the type of incontinence you have, your body type and the absorbency level you need.
Incontinence Liners
Incontinence liners are worn on the inside of your underwear and provide light bladder leakage protection.
So, if you have stress incontinence and experience occasional droplets of urine when you laugh, cough or sneeze—incontinence liners may be the best option for you. If liners aren't offering enough protection, then you may want to try pads or protective underwear.
Always Discreet liners are designed with OdorLock™ technology and are lightly scented to neutralize odors instantly. Plus, the liners come in easy-to-open resealable packaging for discreet opening and disposal.
Liner Lengths and Sizes: Short, Regular and Long
Liner Absorbency: Lightest, Very Light
Incontinence Pads
Incontinence pads are placed on the inside of your underwear and provide moderate to maximum absorbency to help manage moderate bladder leaks. Pads are thicker than liners and are best for light urine leakage.
Always Discreet pads come with OdorLock™ technology, an easy-to-open resealable wrapper, and Double LeakGuard™ Barriers to help prevent bladder leakages from urinary incontinence.
Incontinence Pad Lengths and Sizes: Regular and Long
Pad Absorbency: Moderate, Maximum and Ultimate
Incontinence Underwear
Incontinence underwear, also known as adult diapers, incontinence underpants or disposable briefs, provide moderate to maximum absorbency to help with full bladder leaks and odors. So if you experience moments when you have the sudden urge to urinate but don't make it to the bathroom in time, you may want to check out bladder leakage underwear.
Always Discreet incontinence underwear for women are designed to fit like regular underwear, so our sizing considers both waist circumference and weight.
Need protective underwear to wear while you're sleeping? Always Discreet offers overnight incontinence underwear to help minimize leakages and keep you dry and leakage-free throughout the night.
Incontinence Underwear Lengths and Sizes: Small/Medium (S/M), Large (L), Extra Large (XL) and Extra Extra Large (XXL)

Using Always Discreet Incontinence Products
You've asked—we’ve answered. Here are some of the top questions asked by women when comparing and using Always Discreet incontinence products.
How can I tell the difference between Always Discreet incontinence products?
The main color on the package is the easiest way to differentiate products. Liners are dark pink, pads are blue and underwear is green. Also, different absorbency levels are symbolized by droplets printed on the side of each product package. The more filled in the droplets are, the higher the absorbency level. A sizing chart on each package also helps you choose your perfect fit.
How can I tell the front from the back for Always Discreet liners and pads?
For Always Discreet pads and liners, it does not matter which direction you place the liners or pads in your panties.
How do I know what size Always Discreet underwear I should buy?
Always Discreet incontinence underwear for women are designed to fit like regular underwear, so our sizing considers both waist circumference and weight. Our sizing chart is on the back of every incontinence underwear package for easy reference when comparing products. Use it as a guide to choose the size you should try first. Don't let the stigma of adult diapers stop you from trying Always Discreet underwear created to fit smoothly under clothes.
Incontinence Pad Lengths and Sizes: Regular and Long
Pad Absorbency: Moderate, Maximum and Ultimate
How long should Always Discreet pads, liners and underwear be worn?
That’s up to you! We recommend that you wear Always Discreet pads, liners and underwear for any length of time that fits your personal needs. It all depends on your leakage levels and your personal preferences.
Can I tear the sides to remove the Always Discreet underwear?
No, the sides of Always Discreet underwear are not designed to be torn. Instead, pull the product down and remove it just as you would normal underwear.
Can Always Discreet be used for my period as well, or should I use a menstrual product for my period?
The entire line of Always Discreet urinary incontinence products is specifically designed to handle urine, which is a thinner, less viscous fluid than menstrual fluid. While we understand that some women have used Always Discreet for their menstrual needs, and it is perfectly safe to do so, we recommend using a menstrual product for your period as it is designed specifically to handle the thicker, more viscous fluid.
