Absorbency guide

Choose the right absorbency

NappyCare uses the MoliCare drop system to make adult incontinence products easier to compare. More drops usually mean more holding capacity, longer wear time and stronger leakage support.

How to use this guide

Start with the lowest absorbency that keeps the wearer dry and comfortable between changes. Move up the scale for overnight use, longer gaps between changes, heavy bladder loss, or assisted care where extra security matters.
