Why may I need absorbent products for UI?

 Absorbent products may be used if:

• Your incontinence is not a significant disruption in your life.
• You are waiting for another treatment for incontinence to take effect.
• Your incontinence cannot be treated by other means.
• You prefer to use absorbent products rather than medicines or surgery.

Absorbent products also may be used:

• When you first begin exercises or behavioral treatment methods. Absorbent products can help manage incontinence until the treatment begins to take effect.
• While you recover from surgery.
• During other periods in which protection may be needed while you are pursuing other treatment.
• If you are not a candidate for other forms of treatment.
