Can I use regular sanitary protection pads for stress incontinence?
Its better to use incontinence products because they are designed to deal with the specific challenges of urinary leakage. Many women do use menstrual pads for protection against urinary incontinence. They may be too embarrassed to buy adult incontinence products. Or they may just think there’s no difference between the two because they look so similar and perform a similar function. But they are different. Menstrual pads are made of a material engineered to absorb blood. Menstrual discharge is heavier in consistency than urine and comes out more slowly. As a rule, urine is lighter in consistency and is expelled in larger quantities than menstrual fluid. Also, these two conditions come with different odor issues and require different odor-fighting properties. Attends adult incontinence products are specially designed to absorb and contain urine leakage, manage odor, and protect your skin health.
