When it comes to incontinence care and finding the right absorbent products for your needs, the adage, “less is more” is rarely the case. 

In fact, we’re firm believers that a minimalistic mentality and incontinence management should never go hand in hand. We believe you deserve more. More leak protection, more hours of coverage, more comfort, more confidence, more freedom, more peace of mind… the list goes on. And sometimes, you need more than one product to achieve those things – which is OKAY.

You don’t earn a prize for wearing the thinnest protection or using the fewest absorbent products. But you do win (at life) when your incontinence doesn’t get in the way of anything, and you can finally breathe easy knowing that embarrassing leaks are no longer your problem.

How to Layer Incontinence Products

One of the most effective and easiest ways to optimize the longevity and leak protection of your favorite diaper or pull-up is to layer it with a flow-through booster pad, also referred to as a “diaper doubler” or “diaper insert”. Expertly crafted to fit securely inside the leak guards of your favorite tab-style diaper brief or pull-on, a booster like NorthShore’s EternaDry® Booster Pads can significantly extend the wearability and absorbency of a single diaper.

A particularly powerful solution for days when you know it will be difficult to find a good time or place for a change, the ultra-absorbent lining in EternaDry Booster Pads is designed to fill to capacity then gently flow through into the disposable undergarment underneath, preventing leaks while maintaining comfort.

Remember, booster pads function differently from standard pads or liners commonly found in stores. Traditional store-brand pads and liners are designed to be worn alone inside regular underwear, providing protection for light to moderate leakage. However, layering these pads inside a diaper can lead to leaks, as they lack the specialized "flow-through" technology that allows liquid to pass through to the absorbent product below. Instead of enhancing protection, they often cause overflow along the leg openings. Make sure you choose a flow-through style booster pad when pairing with another absorbent product.  

Waterproof Covers: The Ultimate Layer of Leak Protection

Trifecta™ Waterproof Incontinence Underwear Covers. A great option for anyone—whether you prefer a liner like DynaDry or a tab-style adult diaper like the best-selling MegaMax® — a waterproof cover provides several benefits.

Trifecta Covers add one more layer of protection against leaking, thanks to heavy-duty elastics around the legs and waist. Designed to be worn over any number or combination of incontinence products, we like to think of Trifecta as the final barrier in a long line of incredible NorthShore products that offer all-day or all-night security and comfort.

And Trifecta’s benefits don’t stop there. Living up to its name, Trifecta protects against three of the most common incontinence product complaints. In addition to leak protection, Trifecta also protects against pesky odors and uncomfortable sagging, keeping your diaper or pad of choice securely in place for hours on end.

Unlike other similar products made of rubber or plastic, one of our favorite qualities of the Trifecta Covers are their uniquely breathable wearability and silky-smooth comfort. Made of a durable, waterproof polyurethane laminated polyester (PUL) fabric, Trifecta keeps its wearer dry and comfortable for up to 75 wears and washes.

If we had to choose our all-time favorite combination of products, it would be the MegaMax adult diaper paired with an EternaDry booster pad and topped off with a Trifecta Waterproof Cover. A chef’s-kiss recipe for success.



But the best part is that’s just one option! You can always sub in your favorite diaper or pull-on for a customization that works best for you. Try a smaller-sized booster for shorter days. Add an extra booster along the top of your waistband for extra protection against upward gushes. It’s all about finding the best combination that works for you and your schedule.
