Will insurance pay for POISE® products?

How frequently should these products be changed?
The length of time that a product can be worn varies according to individual needs. Each person's situation is unique due to contributing factors such as diet, medication, illness, bladder size, etc.
Which POISE® product holds the most?
Our most absorbent pads are POISE® Ultimate Coverage pads. They are gently raised in the center to bring protection closer to you. POISE® Panty is our most absorbent product overall and combines the fit and feel of smooth hugging underwear with excellent absorbency. All of our liners, pads and POISE® Panty contain super absorbent materials designed to lock in moisture and help keep you dry.
Do POISE® products help eliminate odor?
Yes, in two ways. POISE® products contain special super absorbent materials that turn urine leaks into a gel so it won't leak out and get into the air to cause odor. These materials also neutralize odor by counteracting the natural substances found in urine which generate odor once it leaves the body.
How big are the POISE® pantiliners, pads and panties?
They range in length from 7-1/2" for POISE® regular pantiliners to 16" for POISE® Ultimate Coverage pads. POISE® Panties are sized to fit hips from 34"-54" or panty sizes 4-12. You can view them all side-by-side and compare absorbencies in our Product Selection Guide.
