Yes, plastic pants can be a good for managing incontinence. They are designed to provide additional protection over absorbent incontinence products such as briefs or pads. Plastic pants help to prevent leaks and protect clothing and bedding by providing a waterproof barrier.

Plastic pants do not stop leaks as they don’t absorb moisture. However, they are effective at containing leaks alongside absorbent incontinence products. By covering incontinence products, plastic pants help to prevent moisture from escaping, thus improving protection against leaks.

The best plastic pants for incontinence typically feature strong, durable materials that are comfortable against the skin. Look for pants with elasticated legs and waistbands for a snug, leak-proof fit. Highly regarded brands include Drylife Waterproof Plastic Pants.

Absorbent incontinence pants are designed to hold different amounts of liquid, depending on their absorbency rating. High-absorbency pants can handle more volume, potentially even a full wee, making them suitable for overnight use or those with heavier incontinence.
