Q: What is the best pad not underwear to use for urine control?
A: Thanks for reaching out. We'd like to mention that our Always pads are specifically designed to handle menstrual fluid, which has a thicker consistency than urine. While we understand some have used our feminine hygiene products for their incontinence needs (and it is perfectly safe to do so), we recommend using our Always Discreet products instead, as they are designed specifically to handle urine’s thinner, less viscous fluid.

Q: can I use these pads for my bladder leakage
A: For the best protection for bladder leaks we recommend instead considering Always Discreet products. It might be helpful to know, that Always Discreet liners absorb 2X more than similar size menstrual liners, and Always Discreet pads absorb 4X more than similar size menstrual pads. In addition, the odor neutralizing technology in our bladder leakage products is designed to work with the malodors associated with urine.
