Hourglass-Shaped Incontinence Pads for Adults
Chiaus Hourglass-Shaped Incontinence Pads feature a contoured design with a narrower center and wider front and back sections, providing greater front-to-back coverage than a conventional straight pad. The ergonomic shape is designed for adults who need reliable protection against moderate urinary incontinence, particularly during nighttime care, bedridden care, or extended periods of sitting and lying.
The enlarged rear section provides additional coverage for situations where urine may flow toward the back, while the narrower center helps the pad conform more naturally to the body. Combined with a breathable nonwoven top sheet, micro-perforated leak-resistant backsheet, absorbent core, and leak guards, the pad is designed to provide fast liquid absorption, even distribution, moisture management, and leakage protection.
Available in 285mm and 350mm sizes with approximately 250–350ml absorbency, these adult incontinence pads can be customized through Chiaus OEM/ODM services for different markets, packaging requirements, and product specifications.
Product Features
Ergonomic Hourglass Shape for Better Body Fit
The distinctive hourglass-shaped design features a narrower middle section with wider front and rear wings, helping the pad follow the natural contours of the body.
The contoured structure provides greater coverage where protection is needed while reducing unnecessary bulk around the middle area, making it suitable for users who spend extended periods sitting, lying down, standing, or walking.
Flexible Core Structure for Active & Bedridden Care
The embossed structure and contoured edge design help the pad maintain its shape during common movements such as standing, walking, sitting, turning over, and repositioning in bed.
The flexible construction is designed to reduce excessive core shifting, bunching, or edge rolling, helping the pad remain relatively flat and stable during use.
Breathable Top Sheet, Backsheet & Leak Guards
The pad uses a high-breathability nonwoven top sheet, micro-perforated leak-resistant back sheet, and breathable leak guards to support air circulation and moisture management.
The breathable construction helps release heat and moisture from the covered area, supporting a drier and more comfortable wearing environment during extended use.
Fast Absorption & Even Liquid Distribution
The high-permeability acquisition layer is designed to quickly receive liquid and distribute it across the absorbent core.
The front and middle sections are optimized for rapid liquid acquisition, while the absorbent structure helps spread liquid across a larger area instead of concentrating it in one location.
This helps make better use of the absorbent core and reduces the risk of localized saturation.
Larger Front-to-Back Coverage
The wider front and rear sections provide an expanded absorbent and protective area compared with a simple straight pad.
The larger rear section is particularly useful during nighttime or bedridden care, helping accommodate urine that may flow toward the back when the user is lying down or changing positions.
SAP + Fluff Pulp Core with High Absorbency
The absorbent core combines SAP and fluff pulp to absorb and retain liquid efficiently.
Depending on the size and configuration, the product provides approximately 250–350ml absorbency capacity, making it suitable for moderate urinary incontinence and extended-care applications.

How to Wear Male Incontinence Pads
Step 1: Choose the Appropriate Size
Choose a suitable pad according to the user's level of urinary leakage and required coverage. Chiaus offers 285mm and 350mm options.
Step 2: Prepare Close-Fitting Underwear
Use the pad with clean, well-fitting underwear or compatible incontinence briefs. The underwear should provide enough support to hold the pad in position.
Step 3: Position the Pad Correctly
Place the absorbent side upward and position the narrower middle section around the central body area, with the wider sections extending toward the front and rear.
Step 4: Adjust the Front and Rear Sections
Make sure the wider front and rear sections provide adequate coverage. For nighttime or bedridden use, ensure that the rear section is properly positioned to provide additional back coverage.
Step 5: Keep the Pad Flat
Smooth out excessive folds and make sure the absorbent core sits flat against the underwear. This helps maintain the intended coverage and reduce gaps.
Step 6: Replace When Needed
Replace the disposable pad when it becomes sufficiently wet or according to the user's individual care routine.
