prevail pads issues

5 Replies

Hi everyone I am new here. I have urge incontinence. Had to start using protective pads. I am finding they leak often off the side. Am I doing something wrong?

You may not be doing anything wrong. It could be they are not absorbent enough for you are just aren't quite the right size/style/fitting for you. I would suggest getting samples from other companies (most online retailers are happy to send you a few samples to try at home and no cost - at least that is true in the USA) and you can test products without spending a fortune buying packages of products that may also leak. Often a different style or absorbency will do the trick. If you are in the USA and you need the names of a few online retailers who provide free samples, I can provide some contact information for you.

I am in the USA I would appreciate you sending that. Thank you very much. I did figure out a hack to make the pads work but would be interested in something better if it is out there.

You are so welcome. I hope you find a great new product. And over time, as you may experience a change in your incontinence, don't forget to go back and again sample a few different types of products to always make sure what you are wearing works for YOU.
