Booster Pads

A booster pad is an absorbent insert that sits inside incontinence underwear or a tabbed brief to add capacity. It is sometimes called a doubler or a liner.

What makes a booster different from a pad

A regular incontinence pad has a waterproof backing that holds liquid inside it. A booster pad deliberately has none. Once the booster saturates, liquid passes straight through into the garment underneath, which then acts as the reserve.

That single design difference is the whole value. It means you can change the booster on its own and keep wearing the same underwear, instead of replacing the entire garment every time. A replacement booster costs less than a replacement pair of underwear, so the cost per change drops - and overnight it can be the difference between one change and none.

It also means a booster must never be worn on its own. Used without a garment beneath it, it will leak through onto clothing or bedding.

When a booster is the right answer

• Your underwear fits correctly but does not quite last the night.
• You are travelling or somewhere a bathroom is not reliably available.
• You want to reduce cost per change without dropping to a lower absorbency.

A booster is usually a better move than sizing up. A larger garment that does not fit the body will leak at the legs regardless of how much it can hold.

Absorbency by product

Product	Format	Absorbency
Booster Pads Overnight	Booster (worn inside another product)	4 cups
Booster Pads Overnight 40 pack	Booster (worn inside another product)	4 cups
Overnight Booster Pads Value Pack	Booster (worn inside another product)	4 cups
Booster Pads Maximum	Booster (worn inside another product)	2 cups

Figures are cups of liquid held by one product, measured the same way across every line, so they are directly comparable. The per-product page carries the same figure.

The booster figure adds to whatever the garment beneath it holds. An Overnight booster inside a 6-cup overnight pull-on gives 10 cups total.

Common questions

Do booster pads fit any brand of underwear?

Because boosters are designed to sit inside standard incontinence underwear and briefs, including other brands. Check the length of the booster against the garment you use.

Can I use two boosters at once?

We do not recommend it. Stacking boosters lifts the top layer away from the body and creates channels for liquid to escape at the leg openings, which usually causes the leak it was meant to prevent.

How do I dispose of used products discreetly?

Roll the used product inward, fasten it closed with its own tapes or side seams, and place it in a sealed bag. Because disposal bags are opaque and odor-proof for this purpose. Disposable bladder protection is not flushable and should go in household waste.

Are booster pads FSA or HSA eligible?

Most Because bladder protection is FSA and HSA eligible. Check the product page for the current eligibility flag before you buy.
