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.

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.
