Enjoy More Coverage and Peace of Mind with These Popular Booster Pads & Liners

NorthShore Care Supply April 18, 2020

A Booster Pad, also known as a diaper doubler or insert, adds extra absorbency to a disposable undergarment such as a brief, pull-on or protective underwear. When filled, liquid flows through to protect against leaks. Booster pads are especially useful when diapers or pull-up style products do not provide quite enough protection. When managing incontinence, it's important to find quality products that absorb liquid away from the body to prevent skin irritation and offer the right coverage. Finding a product depends on your own specific needs. It's important to try the right size of booster pads, to ensure they work properly with your current brief or pull-on.

Diaper Doublers for Adults

Booster pads are easily inserted, removed and replaced with a new one. One of the benefits of using a booster pad is they allow for new protection without having to completely change the diaper or pull-on underneath. This can be especially helpful for individuals who are less mobile and their caregivers. Additional booster pad advantages include they are easy to use, easy to dispose of, provide additional protection and are often reasonably priced.

As soon as a booster pad fills up, the design allows excess urine to flow through the pad’s porous backing onto the absorbent undergarment underneath. Due to its flow-through design, a booster pad should NEVER be used alone and should ALWAYS be used with a diaper or brief. With the addition of a booster pad, briefs stay dryer longer and do not have to be changed as frequently.

Booster Pads vs Liners

Many people confuse a booster pad with a liner. What's the difference? A booster pad features flow-through backing to make it easier for liquid to go through to absorbent diapers, pull-ons or undergarments underneath. A liner, also sometimes called an incontinence pad, has a waterproof backing and is designed to be worn inside regular underwear. Liquid cannot flow through a liner and will eventually leak. Booster pads allow liquid to flow through to the absorbent undergarment for extra protection.

Using a Booster Pad

There are certain situations and times when using a booster pad can be beneficial, including:

Traveling Long Distances - The added absorbency of a booster pad helps provide leak protection during long periods of travel when mobility may be restricted.

At Night - Many people find they tend to experience more leaks during the night. Using a booster pad in addition to another product at night can help ensure a good night's rest and dry bedding in the morning.

Going Out in Public/Special Occasions - Add a booster pad to a brief or pull-on when leaving home for added confidence and leak protection.

A booster pad added to a diaper is a great way to avoid untimely leaks and maintain dryness. They are also helpful for people who may be bedridden or wheelchair-bound, as they reduce the need for a full diaper change.
