When trying to determine what level of protection required, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of products available and the subsequent claims each make. To help narrow down your search for the right product use the following listing of pointers to help determine in which range of products to consider. Check off the statements that relate to your situation:
Light Protection |
¨ Small amounts of urine per episode |
|
¨ Leakage when coughing, sneezing, lifting or bending |
|
|
¨ Bathroom available when needed |
|
Moderate Protection |
¨ Small amounts of urine but limited access to bathroom |
|
¨ Medium amounts of urine per episode |
|
|
¨ Steady dribble |
|
Heavy Protection |
¨ Medium amounts of urine but limited access to bathroom |
|
¨ Large amounts of urine per episode |
|
|
¨ Frequent voids of medium amounts between changes |
|
Maximum Protection |
¨ Large amounts of urine per episode |
|
¨ Involuntary urination—no sensation of full bladder |
|
|
¨ Limited access to bathroom |
The section which contains the most check marks is the section that corresponds best to your situation. If two sections have the same number of checks go with the higher protection.
