- NHS incontinence products: A wide range of products and devices are available for urinary incontinence, including pads and pants, bed and chair protection, catheters and penile sheaths, skincare and hygiene products, and specially adapted clothing and swimwear. The most popular incontinence products are absorbent pads that are worn inside underwear to soak up urine. Pads and pull-up pants use the same technology as babies nappies and have a "hydrophobic" layer which draws urine away from the surface of the product, so your skin stays dry. Other useful incontinence products for more severe leaks include urinals (devices that collect urine), or sheaths and drainage systems (if you have a penis). A variety of incontinence bedding is also available, such as washable bed pads that sit on top of the mattress and soak up any overnight leaks.
