Obviously, you want an incontinence pad to absorb any leaks, but ideally you don't want to feel like you're sitting in a puddle. That's why we test pads for both absorbency and how wet they feel after absorbing liquid. However, tampons can be used occasionally, when necessary, to prevent leaks. For example, during exercise. Appliances and bedding Each product is tested according to the Rothwell method, an industry method that completely soaks the product for 5 minutes, drains for 30 secs, then the product is rolled to express water and weighed. The score is then developed based on the amount of water it can hold. To do that, we first soak the pad for five minutes, then let it drain for 30 seconds. Then we roll it up to see how much water is squeezed out. The more moisture it absorbs, the higher the score.

Its Thin & Discreet Extra Pads were recommended by our experts, but other products from the brand failed to impress.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) does not recommend using tampons for the routine management of urinary incontinence in women. Other useful incontinence products for more severe leaks include urinals (devices that collect urine), or sheaths and drainage systems (if you have a penis).Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep bags away from babies, children and pets. We recommend incontinence pads with a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 70% and at least 70% for absorbency.
