Whether managing urinary or bowel incontinence, adults should feel dry and confident while going about their daily lives. For those with heavy leaks, it’s sometimes difficult to find the perfect product and fit. NorthShore offers a range of absorbent supplies to help people find the best choice for their needs. 

The level of absorbency individuals need can vary. And, different activity levels should be considered when choosing a product.  

In addition, some people prefer tab-style briefs on the side that are easy to open and re-fasten for changes or bathroom breaks, while others favor pull-up style underwear. Finding the right option can make a world of difference for those managing incontinence of any type. 

For high-volume urinary or bowel incontinence, heavy-absorbency adult diapers, or briefs with tabs, are a great choice for peace of mind from worrying about leaks. Explore which of the high-absorbency NorthShore incontinence supplies—whether briefs with refastenable tape tabs, pull-ons, liners, pads or comfortable bed pads—are right for you or your loved one’s needs.
