How Do I Choose the Right Tranquility Product?

Start with product style, absorbency, fit, mobility and when the product will be worn.

The right incontinence product should match the wearer's body, level of incontinence, mobility and daily routine. A product that works well for one person may not be the best fit for someone else.

  1. Choose a product style
    • Pads and liners are worn in regular underwear and are generally intended for lighter urinary leakage.
    • Protective underwear pulls on and off like traditional underwear. It may be a good option for people who are mobile and able to use the toilet independently.
    • Tab-style briefs open fully and fasten at the sides. They can be easier to change for someone with limited mobility or someone who must remain in bed.
    • Booster pads add absorbent capacity to a disposable brief or protective underwear. They are not designed to be worn by themselves.
    • Underpads protect beds, chairs and other surfaces. Swimmates are designed specifically for bowel containment while swimming.
  2. Consider the amount and type of leakage

    Think about whether leakage is occasional or frequent, urinary or bowel, and whether the product needs to manage one void or multiple voids. Product labels such as Moderate, Heavy or Maximum are not standardized across every brand, so review the stated absorbent capacity and product description rather than relying on the label alone.
  3. Think about mobility and routine

    Consider whether the wearer walks independently, needs caregiver assistance, spends extended time sitting or lying down, or needs a product that is easy to remove for toileting. Also consider whether the product will be used during the day, overnight or for an extended period.
  4. Measure before selecting a size

    Measure the widest part of the body between the waist and hips, then compare that measurement with the size chart for the specific product. A secure fit with no gaps around the legs is essential for comfort and leak protection.
  5. Consider any specialized needs

    Tranquility offers products for youth, plus-size and bariatric wearers, active lifestyles, overnight use, limited mobility, sensitive skin and swimming. Selecting for the wearer's specific situation can narrow the choices quickly.

Important: A product recommendation is a starting point, not medical advice. Speak with a healthcare professional if incontinence is new, suddenly changes or is accompanied by pain, bleeding, fever or other concerning symptoms.
