Grades of Incontinence Products
There are four different grades of incontinence products. The highest grade is platinum. In this grade, manufacturers use the best materials that wick moisture away from the skin and contain that moisture in an absorbent core. The material next to your skin feels dry to keep the user feeling fresh and comfortable. The material is breathable to allow air to circulate, soothing the skin. Absorbency is at the highest level with these products.
The next grade is Gold, which offers breathable zones as well as materials that wick and lock moisture away from the skin. Absorbency remains at the higher levels for this product grade and leak protection is also high. Odor protection is also a key offering in this product tier.
The Silver grade is a standard product, offering some breathable panels to encourage air circulation. Absorbency is in the mid-range. Many versions also offer odor protection.
The last grade is Bronze. This grade offers economy products with low pricing and light to moderate absorbency. These products allow more freedom of movement because there is less absorbent material.
