Our experts lab test the latest incontinence pads from a variety of manufacturers to find out which ones are the most absorbent and which are least likely to wet you after being used.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Note: Incontinence pants have not been included in this review.
