There are three types of continence products, liners, pads and underwear. Then there are what manufacturers call them to differentiate themselves in the market. We've selected names based on actual sizing.
Some define the gender they are recommended for – this seems to be marketing in many cases apart from the pouch characteristic which has a design to accommodate the male appendage.
Does the product claim to be dermatologically tested?
Does the product claim to be latex free?
Does the product claim to be suitable for sensitive skin?
Does the product claim to have odour control?
A Similar model is identical in most aspects except for a few. This means that a majority of its test results are identical so you can reasonably expect to get the same results from the model we tested, but for those aspects which aren't identical, we'll note these as "Not Tested" in the Compare tables.
A Tested model refers to a model that is still current and available in the Australian market. You should be able to order this model through your local retailer, or find it online.
These models can't be found in retailers or online or are no longer manufactured. You may still find these models on second hand websites, or in second hand dealers. Test methods may change over time, so criteria which can't be directly compared will contain an N/A.
An Identical model is exactly that. Performance characteristics will be identical and the only difference will be something trivial such as colour, which won't have an impact on performance.
These are models we haven't yet tested but that are available.
