Tips for Traveling with Incontinence

Individuals managing incontinence should plan their trips. One of the worst things is not having enough adult diapers and supplies on hand. Pack sooner rather than later. Consider how many adult diapers or pull-ons you need for your trip.

Consider your primary products plus any booster pads or other supplies you need to use. Absorbent incontinence products may take up space. Find out how many products you need at a time. How many will you need on the trip? Consider the number of outfits you are bringing. Plan outfits to free more space for other essentials. Also, see if your Airbnb or hotel offers laundry services. On-site laundry services can help with cleaning soiled clothes.

1. Carry On Your Essential Items

Your carry-on bag is more than any other piece of luggage. It keeps your wallet but also your diapers and incontinence products close by. Pack a day's worth of adult diapers in your carry-on. For example, if you use three diapers in a day, you want to bring three diapers plus some extra in your carry-on bag. Consider wipes, boosters, and diaper covers for longer flights.

2. Pack for the Weather

If you are traveling somewhere warm, be mindful of colors and materials. The same mindset goes for incontinence products. Consider breathable briefs and pull-ons. Breathable diapers allow air to flow through the product, so skin stays cool. MEGAMAX AirLock is one of the most absorbent adult diapers; it offers 9 hours of protection!

3. Make Space - Roll Clothes

Did you know there are more than 6 ways to roll clothes? Roll clothes together to free up more space in your luggage. You can roll any piece of clothing to increase your luggage space.
