Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in women. For up to 77%, the use of absorbent continence products (pads) is central to management. Pad changes are common and reasons for change are not fully described. We hypothesized that women change their pads for many reasons other than wetness and at saturation levels well below advertised capacity. A sample of 11 community dwelling women aged 65-95 (mean 78.1, SD 8.2) years was included.

1 Introduction Urinary incontinence is a common condition in women [1]. For up to 77%, given that available treatments seldom result in “cure,” continence containment products (pads) remain a staple of daily management [2, 3]. In Canada, amongst many other countries, pads are sought without intervention or advice about their use or about potential treatment [4].
