Product FAQ

Instead of throwing out your brief or Protective Underwear every time you change, our Two-Piece System allows you to change only the insert pad, which costs much less. This practical system means you can change your pad multiple times each day while only changing your brief or Protective Underwear once. This method is both convenient and kinder to your budget! It’s also more environmentally friendly, because it creates less waste. 

Naturally, our Two-Piece System is a premium feature. But our incontinence solutions offer other benefits like a Super Absorbent Gel Core and a cloth-like feel. No one wants a “plasticky” or “diaper” feel when wearing incontinence underwear. Additionally, our Protective Underwear, Premium Briefs, and Shaped Pads all feature Leakage Barrier Leg Cuffs for further leak protection.

The difference between our Protective Underwear and Briefs is primarily a matter of preference. Both incontinence products offer high absorbency levels, with Briefs holding up to 150 ounces, and Protective Underwear up to 90 ounces. Both will work with our Two-Piece System and include our other premium features (Super Absorbent Gel Core, cloth-like feel, Leakage Barrier Leg Cuffs).

However, our Protective Underwear pulls on and off just like regular underwear. They feature tear-away sides and cloth-like stretch panels for ease of use. Because this product doesn’t offer an adjustable fit, there are more sizing options. Briefs, on the other hand, use tab-style closures, for a more custom fit. In general, briefs are also easier to change on a bedridden or low-mobility person than protective underwear. 

Both kinds of briefs offer our signature benefits like a Super Absorbent Gel Core, Leakage Barrier Leg Cuffs, and a cloth-like feel. However, the Premium Briefs are designed specifically to work as part of our Two-Piece System, while Mega Briefs PLUS are designed to be used on their own, so they have significantly higher absorbency. Both types of Briefs have two sets of side tabs provide a secure, custom fit, giving you peace of mind and further leak protection. Our Premium Briefs employ the velcro-like “hook and loop” tape design, which are sturdier tabs that can be opened and closed multiple times without fear of them ripping, while our Mega Briefs PLUS have more traditional sticky tabs.

Most of our products are designed for both men and women. This is due to inclusive product design and the Super Absorbent Gel Core found in our Protective Underwear, Briefs, and Shaped Pads. You get full protection from front to back, making them ideal products for any gender. 

First, please refer to question #1 above for a brief description of our Two-Piece System for combining an outer layer with our pads. All of our Protective Underwear and Briefs include their own Super Absorbent Gel Core for maximum leak protection, but the Premium Briefs are specifically designed for use with our Two-Piece System. Although they can be used on their own, because they’re such high-quality products, it’s best to change the Shaped Pad only and get more use out of the Brief (or Protective Underwear). This saves you both time and money!

Before purchasing our incontinence underwear, you’ll need to know your waist size. Place a tape measure at the top of your hip bone and wrap the tape all the way around to the other side of your body, level with your belly button. Be sure not to hold the tape too tightly or too loosely.

Each of the product pages on our website include a sizing chart with waist sizes in inches that correspond to a product size. You want the size closest to your waist measurements, and it’s best not to purchase a size bigger than you need. You’ll want a snug but comfortable fit for the most leak protection.

After switching to our incontinence underwear and pads, you should notice some improvement in your skin, because our products have the highest levels of absorbency and are designed to pull moisture away from your skin and quickly lock it away, leaving a dry top sheet against your skin.

However, skin sensitivity can still be problematic for anyone who wears incontinence products. We recommend and sell Formula 2 Skin Care Cream, which acts as both a moisture barrier and a moisturizer for your skin. Whether your skin is cracked, dry, or irritated, this cream will help ease your symptoms anywhere from head to toe.

We sell only high-quality products that result in fewer leaks and fewer changes. Our line of products offers the best of both worlds – the highest level of protection against leaks and the most comfortable fit. We invest in high-quality materials and technology to bring out customers premium comfort and security. While our incontinence products aren’t your lowest-price choice, they are the most cost-effective. Why? You use fewer products, which is especially true when using our Two-Piece System.
