Stay Dry Longer: How Booster Pads Can Transform Your Incontinence Routine

What are Booster Pads?

Booster pads are absorbent pads designed to enhance the absorbency of primary products, such as adult diapers or protective underwear. Unlike regular incontinence pads, booster pads lack a waterproof backing, allowing liquid to pass through to the primary product once the pad is full.

Who Should Use Booster Pads? 

Booster pads are ideal for a variety of users looking for increased incontinence protection such as: 

• People with moderate to heavy incontinence: You may feel that your go-to incontinence product is still not providing you the protection you need. A booster pad is a great way to add protection and give you reassurance.
• Caregivers assisting loved ones: using a booster pad can help minimize the amount of complete changes. This also makes it much easier to change in public.
• Active adults managing incontinence: adults who like to travel often or attend events might need extra protection and confidence when a washroom might not be nearby. 
• Individuals needing nighttime protection: frequent trips to the washroom can prevent a good night's sleep and can also be dangerous for older adults. Booster pads reduce this need by adding an extra layer of protection. 

Booster Pad Benefits

Why are booster pads such a popular incontinence solution? Here are their main benefits: 

1. Maximum Absorbency: Booster pads increase the overall capacity of adult diapers or pull-ups, keeping you dry for longer periods.
2. Leak Prevention: Booster Pads help contain liquid, before it reaches the primary product, therefore minimizing accidents. You can also stack booster pads in situations where you need a lot of protection and want ensure zero leakage. 
3. Cost Savings: Using booster pads extends the life of your primary incontinence product, reducing the number of full product changes.
4. Comfortable Fit: With their soft and flexible design, booster pads fit discreetly under clothing.
5. Odor Neutralization: Many booster pads feature odor-controlling technology to ensure confidence throughout the day.
6. Customizable Protection: Booster Pads can be placed in a way that helps you specifically. If you are a side sleeper and tend to leak more out of one side, you can place the pad to prevent leaks from that side.

Instructions: How to Use Booster Pads 

1. Choose the right pad: Select a booster pad with the correct dimensions to fit your incontinence product.
2. Position the pad: place it lengthwise in the center of your primary product (or in the position where you most often leak). Ensure it lies flat for optimal performance. 
3. Secure the product: adjust your brief or pull-up as usual, ensuring that the booster pad stays in place. 
4. Replace as needed: Swap out the booster pad once it's saturated, but continue using the primary product if it hasn't reached capacity.
