Choosing Pads For Weak Bladder
The simple truth is that our pads can be used for any kind of urinary incontinence, from very light drops, through more serious cough/sneeze gushes, right through to virtually no bladder control at all.
Although our pads are designed for menstrual flow, many women have found that they work really well for urinary incontinence too. You may have to bear this in mind as you delve into the website though, as the flow rates are for menstrual flow.
As a rule of thumb, you'll need a heavier flow rating for weak bladder use than you would for menstrual use. eg. Full Flow Maxi Pads will be moderate flow for weak bladder use.
This page helps you to gauge which pads will suit you for your weak bladder issues.
