If you have an incontinence problem, what pad works best for you?  I'm 73 and, so far, it's only a little problem, but I don't know how bad it's going to get.  

I looked on Amazon, but there are soooooo many different kinds.  Any help will be appreciated!

I have a friend that wears pull up panties I think they are Depends brand maybe?  We were on a business trip together and she said it took all the worries away of any kind of leakage.

Don't have this yet, but what does your doctor say?  Don't they have Depends?  Think they have something you might want to look into.

Equate (Walmart brand).

I use either the pantiliners or 'light' pads depending on my needs.

@spent2much In most cases it can be stopped by pelvic floor therapy.  My leakage issues have been resolved completely by just using my The Leg Master Slim strengthening machine daily as it has been proven to work the pelvic muscles.  There are many other methods to control this.  Why just accept it as it gets worse?

Always pads, seem to be the best .

Poise 4 regular.  Small enough to be comfortable but sufficient!

Before you accept a life of peeing your pants and adult diapers, you should  see your doctor.   There are several reasons for urinary incontinence and there are cures for many of them.

You don't have to be incontinent to need a pad for those occasional sneezes or coughs that appear out of nowhere...and your bladder is full!

I have used Always Anti Bunch extra long panty liners for years. They come in a purple box.  Get them at Sams Club in 4 pks. but they can be found at most CVS or Walgreens.  Finally am seeing a urologist to be sure nothing is wrong and get the exercises he has advised to other friends to do to help.  Tighten the pelvic floor muscles for 3 secs and release for 3 secs and repeat 15 times.  Do this from a laying, standing and sitting position every day. Not necessarily at the same time frame.  Hope this helps me.  You might want to try it.
