Urological pads for men have a special purpose. Unlike the usual ones used by women, they absorb liquid faster, even in large quantities. Such products are an indispensable remedy for certain physiological abnormalities. However, the male part of the population usually does not encounter this kind of product, and does not have the slightest idea how to choose and use them. This article will help you understand the topic.
Reasons for using such tools
Urological pads are products intended for personal hygiene in cases of urinary incontinence, which may be a consequence of old age or certain diseases. This situation is observed, for example, in a number of kidney diseases, after a stroke, in Alzheimer’s disease, etc.
These hygiene products can be used for mild to moderate drip urinary incontinence. Such problems can be a consequence of surgery and last a short period of time.
In severe cases of the disease and large amounts of fluid secreted, adult diapers are usually used.
Men's urological pads provide excellent protection against fluid leakage, do not restrict movement and are practically invisible under clothing. They can be a real salvation for the stronger half if any problems with urination are detected, which, however, require mandatory consultation with a doctor.

Structure of gaskets
A urological pad consists of three main absorbent layers, each of which performs a specific function. The top layer has direct contact with the skin and is the first to absorb incoming liquid. The next layer is called the inner layer. It is responsible for retaining moisture and eliminating odor. It will be made from high quality absorbent material.
The third - outer layer - is responsible for retaining moisture inside the gasket. It uses waterproof materials with breathable properties. This layer is necessary to protect linen and clothing.
Functions of urological pads
Wearing recommendations
After purchasing the product, read the instructions for use. Any man who is faced with such a problem for the first time will be puzzled by how to apply them. There are two instructions here, depending on the type of insert:
With fastening to underwear (in the form of a pocket):
- remove the gasket from the packaging;
- remove the protective adhesive strips and open them to create a pocket (this is usually shown in the instructions as a picture);
- glue it to the front of the underwear (family panties are not suitable for this; regular swimming trunks are needed) and insert the penis into the resulting pocket.
With attachment on the penis:
- remove the product from the packaging and straighten it;
- apply the absorbent layer to the penis (the head should rest against the area marked in the middle) and wrap it up, covering it;
- alternately wrap the wings of the gasket for fixation: first without Velcro, then with Velcro;
- put on underwear on top.
Urological pads for men should be changed as they become full during the day. Usually this is once every 4-5 hours.
It is not necessary to wash yourself after each shift, since modern models are equipped with a highly absorbent layer that leaves the skin dry and clean.
Disposal of products is carried out through a garbage can. You should not throw them into the toilet, as they may become clogged.

Women's problem
Involuntary leakage of urine most often occurs in older women who have entered menopause.
Incontinence can be accompanied by such ordinary phenomena as sneezing, coughing, laughing. The urine released can cause discomfort during any, even minor, physical activity. The intensity of the discharge varies from one drop to noticeable urination. For women with urinary incontinence, pads allow you to avoid awkward situations associated with leakage and the appearance of an unpleasant odor. The pelvic muscles serve as a support for the developing fetus, so even during a normal pregnancy they experience increased stress. Muscle compression also occurs during the birth process. Traumatic childbirth (with the use of medical instruments and accompanying muscle tears) contributes to the appearance of postpartum incontinence. A large number of births and an overly large fetus also negatively affect the development of future pathology.
The problem of uncontrolled urination often affects people who have suffered serious illnesses, such as stroke. Bedridden patients suffer from incontinence, which is accompanied by a persistent unpleasant odor caused by taking medications. In such cases, the use of urological hygiene products is a conscious need.
How to use
Using hygiene products is easy. Each package contains detailed instructions in the form of pictures. The only difference is in the fastening of the products.
Pocket spacers are used as follows:
- the hygiene product is removed from the packaging;
- the protective strip is removed, the product opens in the form of a pocket (see picture on the package);
- the insert is attached to the front of the underwear, and the penis is inserted into the pocket that is formed.
One pad can be worn for no more than five hours. If you feel the need to change a hygiene product after two hours, then it is better to purchase products with a higher degree of moisture absorption.
There is no need to carry out hygienic procedures by changing the liners every time, since they neutralize unpleasant odors by completely absorbing liquid.
Urological pads will allow a man to feel comfortable and confident even if he leads an active lifestyle. Products for solving such delicate problems are reliable and provide complete protection against leaks and unpleasant odors. Modern urological pads do not limit movements, allowing you to perform any work.
