Living with incontinence can be a challenge, but having the right products can make all the difference. If you are a caregiver looking for the right incontinence solution for your patient, this guide from Mark Drug Medical Supply can help you select the perfect size and absorbency level. When you’re ready to shop for incontinence products in person, come visit our store in Wheeling, IL. We serve customers from all over Chicago’s North Shore area.

Size is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing incontinence products. Products that are too small may result in insufficient coverage, while products that are too large might be unable to contain leaks. To find the perfect fit in diapers or briefs, measure around the waist and hips, and compare those measurements to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. This will ensure maximum comfort and protection.

Incontinence products are also available in various absorbency levels that range from light to heavy. Light absorbency products are usually lighter and more comfortable to wear, but they might need to be changed more frequently. Higher absorbency products can be worn for longer periods of time without risking a leak, but they can be heavier and less comfortable.

The level of absorbency needed depends on the severity of the incontinence and the frequency at which the patient can change products throughout the day. Whether you work with one or multiple patients, we recommend keeping a selection of products with different absorbency levels on hand, so you can choose the most suitable option for each situation.
