Dealing with incontinence can be tough, especially when you’re experiencing leaks. It’s important to remember that leaks shouldn’t be considered normal.

With the right products and a bit of know-how, you can live a more comfortable and confident life. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you prevent those pesky leaks.

Why is my incontinence pad leaking?

Incontinence pads, pants and slips are meant to help prevent leaks, so if you’re still experiencing them, there could be a few reasons why.

First, it could be a medical issue:

• Constipation: Pressure from the bowel can lead to more frequent leaks.
• Medication: Some medications, like diuretics, can increase urine output.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs can cause more frequent and urgent bathroom trips.
  
  

It’s important to talk to a doctor about these issues to get the right treatment.
Second, it could be a product or application issue. Don’t worry, we’ll share some tips on how to apply incontinence products correctly in the next section!

What should I do if my continence aid leaks?

If your pads are leaking, first, make sure they’re fitted correctly and securely between the legs. They shouldn’t be gaping, or too tight.

Loose clothing can also cause a pad to shift, so be sure to wear clothes that fit well around your product.
