Helpful Tips for Choosing the Right Absorbent Product

Whether you have occasional light leaks or frequent, larger amounts all at one time, wearing the right protection can make all the difference. And the right absorbent product is not just about keeping you dry, but the confidence that comes with knowing you’re protected—no worries! Fortunately, there are options that have you covered no matter what your leakage incidents.

The good news is, finding the right product to meet your needs is easier than ever. Three levels of questions can help determine your best solution.

What level of protection do you need? The frequency and amount of your leakage determines the absorbency option you’ll need. Consider whether your leakage is light, moderate or heavy and seek out products labeled to match.

Be sure to choose a product that is specifically designed for bladder leakage. Feminine pads are not designed to lock in urine and protect you the same way modern bladder leakage solutions like Depend® brand products.

What activity level reflects your lifestyle? If you’re an active woman, you’ll want a product that protects during any fitness activity and wherever your day takes you. Choose a product that’s both easy to carry and easy to change. If you’re less active, there are convenient solutions that fit your lifestyle, too. Our product selection tool makes it easy to find the right product.

What fit will provide the best comfort level? Men and women have different needs so choose a product made specifically for your female body. Products also come in a variety of sizes to further assure the right fit and comfort.

Style and Protection Just For You Depend® makes a variety of absorbent products. First decide whether you prefer a step-in pant or one that opens at the sides. Then explore your options from there.

My husband bought my first package of diapers.They sat on the dresser for a while:Depend Adjustable. My pad wasn't enough for me during the night any more. I was nervous about wetting the bed. One night my husband handed me a diaper to wear as I was getting ready for bed. And I put it on and that night I slept really well!! I've been wearing diapers at night ever since and I am finally getting enough sleep. My husband did a great job choosing the right diaper! He's a gem!
