Booster pads are designed to add an additional layer of absorbency to incontinence products such as pull-ups and all-in-one wrap-arounds (nappy or diaper style). They are attached to the inner lining of the pull-up or wrap-around via an adhesive and are soft and comfortable to wear. They are designed without the typical non-porous back-sheet that prevents leakage in other incontinence pads, so that urine can pass through and be absorbed by the outer incontinence aids. In this way the booster pad shares the absorbency role with the outer continence management aid. You may decide to use booster pads on a regular basis for added confidence or only for specific situations such as longer periods away from toilet facilities or for night time use to assist with uninterrupted sleep.

Due to the porous nature of the pads, urine will pass through and so this product should not be used on its own. Similarly, a regular incontinence pad should not be used inside a pull-up or diaper, because this will not utilise the absorbency of the outer continence aid.
