Booster pads are an excellent option for use with an existing adult diaper or protective underwear when additional leak protection and absorbency is needed. This may be due to the large volume of urine or to help a person stay drier between changes.
Booster pads are a unique type of product included in the pads, shields and liners category of products. They insert into the existing garment like a pad. They feature the same type of construction as most incontinence protection items, however they do not have a moisture proof backing or lining. This allows the booster pad to fill to its capacity and then pass any additional fluids on to the diaper or protective underwear. Think of it like adding another level of absorbency protection that fills up and then passes liquids to the next incontinence garment when full.
This solution adds another cost and product used for the care of the individual, but it will also increase the wearability and time between changes of other garments therefore reducing the frequency of changing of those items. With the added absorbency they may also reduce the need to change lines, bed sheets and underpads saving additional time, effort and costs for the caregiver.
Booster pads are available in different shapes, sizes and leak protection levels. This allows the user to use a product that is both customized and comfortable for their needs.They are available in rectangular shaped pads or hourglass shaped pads. They may be contoured for even a more perfect fit. Some pads also feature side gathers to more efficiently prevent leakage and ensure liquids are drawn into the core of the pad.
Booster pads are available in sizes and shapes to accommodate all sizes of users.
For example, the Tranquility TopLiner Super-Plus Contour Booster Pad that measures 32” x 14” is designed specifically for large sized bariatric use and can absorb up to 27.5 ounces of fluids before reaching capacity. It is contoured to ensure maximum comfort and protection.
On the other end of the product needs spectrum is the very popular Dignity Stackables Barrier Free Pads that will hold about 8-10 ounces of liquid. These pads are rectangular shaped pads that measure 3.5 inches x 12 inches and provide a light incontinence protection level for those that may need just a little more protection and don’t want the added build of a larger more absorbent pad. These pads are also used as primary incontinence pads worn in underwear for people with very light incontinence leakage.
Booster Pads may be an excellent option for you if added absorbency would help maintain skin health, comfort and reduce caregiving needs including changes and/or costs.
