Not always. The size of a continence pad does not automatically determine its absorbency level. Absorbency depends on the product design, materials used and how much fluid it is designed to hold. Choosing the correct product depends on individual needs, including leakage levels, comfort requirements and whether the product is used during the day or overnight.

Adult continence pads are designed to help manage bladder leakage and provide protection during everyday activities. They are commonly used by individuals experiencing incontinence due to aging, disability, medical conditions or reduced mobility.

Adult continence pads are usually worn inside supportive underwear and are suitable for individuals who need targeted bladder protection.

Adult diapers, also known as adult briefs, provide more coverage and typically include adjustable side tabs. They are often preferred for individuals requiring higher absorbency, overnight protection, or assistance from carers.

Yes. Overnight adult diapers are designed for extended wear and typically offer higher absorbency to help manage leakage during sleep.

They are designed to provide:

• Longer-lasting protection
• Greater absorbency capacity
• Reduced need for overnight changes
• Improved comfort while sleeping

Choosing the correct size is important for comfort and protection. A product that is too small may feel restrictive, while one that is too large may not provide a secure fit.

Consider:

• Waist and hip measurements
• Product sizing recommendations
• Level of absorbency required
• User mobility and comfort preferences

The frequency of changing depends on the product type, absorbency level and individual needs. Products should generally be changed when required to maintain hygiene, comfort and healthy skin. Following product guidelines and healthcare professionals' advice can help determine the most suitable routine.

Some continence products may be covered through the NDIS if they are considered reasonable and necessary supports related to a participant’s disability. Eligibility depends on each individual’s NDIS plan and circumstances. Participants may need supporting information from healthcare professionals when accessing continence-related supports.
