Incontinence Underwear

Incontinence underwear is disposable, absorbent adult underwear worn in place of regular underwear. It pulls on and off like ordinary underwear and has tear-away side seams so it can be removed without taking off shoes or trousers. It is also called an adult pull-up or protective underwear.

Pull-on underwear, tabbed briefs, or pads?

The three formats solve different problems—usually mobility, not just leak volume.

• Pull-on incontinence underwear suits anyone who dresses themselves and is moving around during the day. It looks and feels closest to regular adult underwear.
• Tabbed briefs open flat and refasten at the hips, so they can be changed while someone is lying down—practical for bedbound care or caregiver changes.
• Pads and guards sit inside your own underwear. They are the least bulky option for lighter, occasional leaks.

Choosing an absorbency level

Absorbency is quoted per product in cups of liquid. Choose a lighter level for daytime wear when you can change every few hours, and overnight / overnight-plus when you want to sleep through. The absorbency figure for each product is on its PDP.

Absorbency by product

Product	Format	Absorbency
Premium Overnight Plus Underwear for Women	Pull-on underwear	6 cups
Premium Overnight Plus Underwear for Men	Pull-on underwear	6 cups

Figures are cups of liquid held by one product, measured the same way across every line. If capacity is the only gap, add a booster pad inside rather than sizing up—the booster has no plastic backing, so liquid passes through into the underwear beneath.

Incontinence underwear FAQ

How do I find the right size?

Measure around the widest part of your waist and hips, then match that measurement to the inch range on the product page. Size ranges differ by line—always read the inches on the item itself.

Can I wear incontinence underwear overnight?

Yes. Look for overnight or overnight-plus styles with higher absorbency and reinforced leak guards; liquid pools differently when lying down.

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. Disposable bladder protection is not flushable—use household waste.
