Why Some Women Need More Than a “Regular” Pad
Not all leaks are created equal, and not all pads can keep up. For many women, incontinence isn’t limited to light drips. It may arrive in unexpected gushes, stronger streams, or large-volume episodes triggered by coughing, laughing, or even simple movement.
These heavier leaks can interrupt your daily rhythm—whether it’s getting through the workday, enjoying a long walk, or just making it through the night. The wrong pad may leave you damp, self-conscious, or even skipping things you once loved. That’s why regular light protection isn’t always enough. For women managing moderate to heavy bladder leaks, true peace of mind comes from reliable, breathable coverage that moves with you, not against you.
What Heavy-Duty Really Means
When we say heavy-duty, we don’t mean bulky or uncomfortable. We mean thoughtfully engineered protection designed for women who expect more from their incontinence products. Here's what sets a high-performing heavy-duty pad apart:
-
High Absorbency: The best heavy-duty pads absorb 700ml or more —enough to handle full voids without needing frequent changes.
-
Extra Length and Coverage: Longer pads offer better protection during sleep or extended wear.
-
Secure Fit: Flexible wings or adhesive backings keep pads in place during movement, preventing bunching or leaks.
-
Skin-Safe Materials: Because bladder leaks can create prolonged moisture exposure, materials should be breathable, hypoallergenic, and free from irritants.
What doesn't it mean? That you have to accept stiffness, bulk, or outdated designs. A truly effective heavy-duty pad balances maximum absorbency with minimal discomfort, so you can move freely and confidently.

Heavy Leaks and Skin Health: What You Should Know
Moisture management is more than a comfort issue—it’s a skin health priority. Prolonged exposure to urine can compromise the skin barrier, increasing the risk of irritation, inflammation, or even incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). According to clinical research, skin kept in constant contact with moisture is significantly more vulnerable to breakdown [1].
That’s why it’s critical to choose pads that wick moisture away from the skin quickly, lock it in securely, and allow air to circulate. Attn: Grace’s Skin-Safe™ design supports your skin’s natural defenses without relying on harsh chemicals, fragrances, or irritants.
Your pad should do more than absorb. It should protect.
