Booster Pads vs. Regular Pads

Booster pads and regular pads are two entirely different products.  Many customers are unaware of the unique differences, so we would like to provide you with more information about each product.  Some customers need one of these products, but the majority of our customers benefit from both. A regular pad has a waterproof backing on it that does not allow liquid to flow through it, while a booster pad has no such backing. Wearing a booster pad inside of your regular underwear without another layer of protection would certainly result in leakage. However, if you are already wearing protective underwear, a booster pad offers an added layer of protection.

 Booster Pads:

A booster pad is an absorbent pad designed to be used inside of your protective underwear.   It provides an extra layer of protection. If you are using a large quantity of protective underwear (pull-ups) on a daily basis, a booster pad could help to minimize the number you use every day, and ultimately, save you money! Booster pads are worn inside of your protective underwear so your protective underwear will last longer. When you wear a booster bad inside of your protective underwear, you have at least an extra 18 ounces of absorbency. When the booster pad becomes soiled, you can remove it quickly and replace it. Instead of changing your protective underwear, you would only change your booster pad.   HDIS offers several types of booster pads to fit your needs.  When leaving your home for an errand, outing, or doctor’s appointment, most of our customers prefer taking an extra booster pad with them to allow a quick change in any restroom. 

Regular Pads:
A regular pad serves a different purpose.  While a booster pad may only come in two to three absorbency levels, a regular pad is offered in light absorbency to ultimate absorbency.   A regular pad is intended to be worn inside of your regular under wear. The majority of major brands produce a line of regular pads, while only a handful of brands provide booster pads.  There are so many configurations to consider including the shape, length, and scent, that it can become overwhelming to find the right fit.
