Men often restrain from shopping for incontinence pads due to embarrassment or uncertainty of the correct incontinence product for them. However, pads can be the best option for many as they are bulk-free and can be easily and discreetly purchased from online stores. This is our guide to the benefits of using a pad and our verdict on the top 10 male incontinence pads.
Why Choose a Pad?
- The removal process is easier than an incontinence pant
Instead of completely replacing your underwear with a pull-up product, you can enjoy the simplicity of a pad. You simply lift them our of your underwear or stretch pants with no extra hassle.
- You Won’t Feel Hot and Bothered
No need to worry about the dreaded “diaper bulk”. Instead of being uncomfortable in a large product, you will forget you are even wearing protection!
- There are a Variety of Styles
Shaped pads are anatomically shaped pads to provide maximum security and comfort. You can purchase shaped pads that are designed for men or women. Large shaped pads are typically used for moderate to heavy incontinence whereas small pads are generally used for light incontinence. You can also purchase winged pads which makes fixation easier.
Who are Incontinence Pads Suitable for?
Incontinence Pads are easier to take off and put on than all in ones or pull up pants so are recommended for those with lack of mobility. These are suitable for light to heavy incontinence, however for severe incontinence we’d recommend an all in one or pull up.
What Makes a Reliable Male Incontinence Pad?

- Secure Fit with no Movement
You should ensure your pad fits securely and does not move around during the day. It’s essential to look for pads that are close-fit, so choosing an anatomically shaped pad can solve this. If you have problems with your pad moving around, you can also choose fixation pants?
- A Suitable Absorption Capacity
If you have heavy incontinence, choosing a light small pad would be very ineffective. You must think more than just discretion when choosing a pad, if you need a pad for heavy incontinence, it’s better to not waste money buying small pads.
