Size Guide

Choosing the correct incontinence product size is not like choosing a clothing size. You’ll need to measure both waist and hip size, and then use the larger of the two numbers when referencing a sizing guide.

When measuring yourself to determine what size product you may need, it’s important to measure the widest part of your body between your waist and your hips. Fitting that measurement will give you a good place to start. Remember when fitting products that leg openings should be snug-fitting with no gaps. If using a tape-tab style product, tapes should land halfway between the belly button and the hips.
