What are the common incontinence products?

Common incontinence products come in two forms of use: internal and external.

The inner pad (diaper), as the name suggests, is a diaper product with good water absorption placed in the inner layer of underwear. It has the characteristics of simple operation, diverse forms, and affordability.

The outer layer of diapers can be daily underwear, diapers, or underwear with anti permeation function, often used in combination with diapers. You can find corresponding products in supermarkets or shopping apps by searching for words such as adult absorbent wipes, adult pull-up pants, incontinence leak proof wipes, etc.
