The Benefits of Using Nappy Booster Pads

Nappy booster pads, also known as “insert pads” are multi-functional solution. Whilst often disregarded, they can highly improve quality of life.

The main purpose using a nappy booster pad is to add absorbency to another absorbent product, meaning you are more protected and can wear a product for longer. Booster pads are effective thanks to their flow-through design. This feature allows the booster pad to fill up to its full capacity first, and then pass additional fluid to the absorbent product.

How to Wear Booster Pads

Booster pads should be worn inside an incontinence pull up pant or all in one product. Women should position the pad towards the back for the best protection, whereas men should position the pad towards the front. Men should fold the booster pad over the top of the penis with release paper to the outside. Ensure you wear an additional absorbent product as normal. If you are a side sleeper, it can be helpful to place the booster pad across the stomach, placed adhesive side up.
