How frequently should these products be changed?
The length of time that a product can be worn varies according to individual needs. Each person's situation is unique due to contributing factors such as diet, medication, illness, bladder size, etc.
Which POISE® product holds the most?
All POISE® pads and liners have the blue Absorb-Loc® Core that quickly locks away wetness and neutralizes odor. Our most absorbent pads are POISE® Ultimate Extra Coverage pads.
Do POISE® products help eliminate odor?
Yes, in addition to quickly locking away wetness, the blue Absorb-Loc® Core neutralizes odor. The blue Absorb-Loc® Core contains super absorbent materials that turn urine leaks into a gel so it won't leak out and get into the air to cause odor. These materials also neutralize odor by counteracting the natural substances found in urine which generate odor once it leaves the body.
How big are the POISE® pantiliners and pads?
They range in length from 7-1/2" for POISE® regular pantiliners to 15.9" for POISE® Ultimate Pads with Extra Coverage. You can view in our Product Selection Guide.
