Incontinence Supplies for Managing IBS
When managing bowel leaks, supplies can help with more protection. Learn about booster pads and covers to use any time of the day.
Booster pads add a layer of absorbency to a diaper. Boosters can extend the life of a diaper by absorbing more liquid. The contoured size provides coverage in the back for loose stools and bowel movements.
EternaDry Booster Pads provide more absorbency than most other brands. You can also stack boosters for extra protection. Booster pads are not only for absorbing urine.
