Incontinence pads can help provide you with safety and
independence so you can worry less and go about your day with ease. They come
in a range of absorbencies, sizes and styles to suit your every need. A common
question that can arise is how often do incontinence pads need to be changed
each day, we’ve provided the answer below.
It is recommended to change incontinence
pads around four to six times per day. You should always change your incontinence
pad when it’s wet, as wearing it for longer can contribute to bad odours, poor hygiene
and skin conditions. Irritation and chaffing can also occur if you leave a pad
on for too long regardless of whether it is wet or dry.
For overnight use, there are certain incontinence pads that
are designed for higher absorbency and to be left on throughout the night. It is
important though that when you wake up you change your incontinence pad first
thing so as to avoid any irritation or other problems.

It is important to seek medical advice and talk to your
doctor or a continence professional about your symptoms.
