How to Choose the Right Incontinence Supplies for Your Needs

Managing incontinence can be overwhelming, but the right products make all the difference. In this incontinence product guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to choose supplies that support comfort, hygiene, and peace of mind.

At MM Medical Supply, we understand these needs. That’s why we offer a wide selection of trusted incontinence products with discreet delivery and compassionate support. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a loved one, we’re here to help.

Understand the Type and Severity of Incontinence

Not all incontinence is the same. Before choosing a product, it’s important to understand the type of incontinence you're managing:

  • Stress incontinence involves leakage during physical activity (like sneezing or lifting).
  • Urge incontinence is a sudden, intense urge to urinate.
  • Overflow incontinence results from the bladder not emptying fully.
  • Functional incontinence is due to physical or cognitive limitations.

Each type may require a different solution. For example, light leakage might only need absorbent pads, while more severe cases may benefit from adult diapers or even catheters.

Key Types of Incontinence Products

Absorbent Pads and Liners

These are perfect for light to moderate leakage and offer a discreet option, especially for those with stress or urge incontinence. Many are designed for a better fit based on gender and body type.

Adult Briefs and Diapers

For heavier incontinence, adult briefs offer high absorbency, odor control, and ease of changing. They’re ideal for both daytime and nighttime use and can be a dependable choice for users and caregivers alike.

Protective Underwear (Pull-Ups)

These provide a balance between mobility and protection, mimicking regular underwear while offering moderate absorbency. They’re a great choice for active individuals.

Bed and Furniture Pads

These pads are essential for overnight protection or for individuals with limited mobility. Choose from reusable or disposable options based on your needs and preferences.

Catheters and Urine Collection Devices

These are typically recommended for individuals with severe or functional incontinence. Professional guidance is essential when using these medical devices.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Incontinence Supplies

  • Absorbency Level: Consider whether the product is for daytime or nighttime use, and how much protection is needed.
  • Fit and Comfort: Ill-fitting products can cause skin irritation. Look for breathable materials and proper sizing.
  • Discreetness: For users who are out and about, discreet designs help maintain confidence during work or social activities.
  • Ease of Use: Especially important for caregivers or individuals in assisted living settings.
  • Cost and Insurance: Some products may be covered by insurance. Check with your provider.
  • Reliable Availability: Buying from a trusted supplier like MM Medical Supply ensures quality and timely delivery.
