Waterproof Pants

Waterproof pants are designed to provide an extra layer of protection against leaks for individuals managing incontinence. They are typically worn over absorbent products like pads or washable briefs to prevent moisture from reaching clothing or bedding, offering added confidence during daily activities or overnight.

Generally, waterproof pants are intended to be worn over absorbent incontinence products. They serve as a barrier to prevent leaks but do not have absorbent properties themselves. So generally speaking, they offer extra protection and shouldn't be worn alone.

Please check the sizing on each of our product listings and measure your waist or hips as advised. A snug fit without being too tight offers optimal protection and reduces the risk of leaks or discomfort.

Yes, many waterproof pants are made from durable materials like vinyl or polyurethane and are designed to be washed and reused multiple times. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions to maintain their integrity and performance.

While waterproof pants offer protection, they act as an extra barrier and must be used in conjunction with suitable absorbant incontinence products. Our Kanga and DryTex waterproof pants are suitable for both urinary and faecal incontinence. Such people appreciate that the waterproof layer and elasticated leg and waist cuffs don’t only contain urine, but also faeces and odours.

Yes, waterproof pants can be worn overnight to protect bedding from potential leaks. They provide added security and should be combined with high-absorbency pads or briefs.

If you are worried about noise, then we recommend then you take a look at our Kanga Waterproof Pants. They are not like the noisy, bulky pants from years ago. They are slimline, with better leg and waist cuffs for added protection. The material is soft and quiet. These are not plastic pants. In years gone by the leg and waist cuffs had to fit very tightly to the skin to form a waterproof seal. This led to discomfort and rashes as the elastic would sometimes dig into the skin. The elastic material in Kanga Waterproof Pants is different in that it is softer, and wider. This means you can get the same level of protection without the discomfort. Kanga Waterproof Briefs are also reusable and washable.
