There are many potential causes for someone that is incontinent, including stress, infection, aging, smoking, weight levels, and even medications. Enuresis can vary in frequency and severity from the occasional leak to complete loss of control. The predominant types of enuresis include stress incontinence resulting from coughing or sneezing and urge incontinence that often follows the sudden need to urinate. Someone can also experience bowel or fecal incontinence. The kind of protection needed depends on the type of control loss and the level of leakage experienced.
Adult Diapers, also called briefs, are typically used for moderate or heavy leaks. There are many different types and sizes. Adult diapers allow users to live an active lifestyle with less anxiety.
Incontinence Pads, Guards, and Liners are the most discreet options when it comes to urinary incontinence products. They are typically considered light protection.
Incontinence Underpads and Bed Pads lay on top of furniture, such as a chair or mattress, to protect it from leakage. They are available in multiple sizes and can be reusable or disposable.
Incontinence Care products include anything that makes it easier to take care of or clean up incontinence. Skin care or cleansing products, gloves, wet wipes, and deodorizers all fall into this category.

How many types of incontinence are there?
Four:
Can feminine products be used instead of incontinence products?
Feminine products are generally not recommended because they are not made of the same material and will not absorb liquid as quickly or thoroughly. In addition, since they aren't meant to hold so much moisture, they will leave the skin damp and uncomfortable, which can lead to rashes.
How often should an incontinence pad be changed?
The number of times ultimately depends on the type of pad, but it is recommended that pads be changed four to six times per day or whenever they are wet. Wearing pads for longer can lead to bad odors or skin conditions.
