What Are Shaped Insert Pads?

Shaped insert pads, also called insert pads are large disposable pads designed to manage heavy incontinence with options available for faecal incontinence. They require close fitting underwear or fix pants to help keep them in place as they do not have sticky tabs or an adhesive backing.

Shaped insert pads are commonly thought as a less absorbent all in one slip but without the wings and sticky tabs hence the need for a fixation pant. They usually feature leak guards, a wetness indicator and odour control. They benefit from being easy to change, discreet and come in a variety of sizes and shapes to suit every body type and need.

Some shaped insert pads are smaller than others but they aren't to be confused with light insert pads or shields that are considerably smaller and far less absorbent.
