*XL and 2XL Contour Boosters are recommended for tab-style briefs when extra coverage in front and rear is needed. However, they will cover the leak guards in these areas, which could offset some of their effectiveness, especially for side-sleepers.
**XL and 2XL Contour Boosters do NOT fit inside NorthShore brand pull-ups.
How to Correctly Insert a Booster Pad into Tab-Style Briefs and Pull-Ons
Learn how to properly insert a booster pad in a tab-style brief and absorbent underwear.
Typically you want the booster to be the same size or smaller than the brief or pull-on that you are using. It is important to make sure the booster pad is within the leak guards. If you use booster pads that are too big, they will run over the leak guards which opens the door to leakage. The booster pad should sit nicely between the leak guards, in the core of the tab-style brief or pull-on.
If you are unsure of which size booster is right for you, speak with a care expert at (800) 563-0161.
