Waterproof-backed Moon Pads

Those with a mild stress-incontinence problem can use any of the all-cotton Menstrual pads. In addition, Moon Pads makes a range of pads with a layer of waterproof nylon at the back of the pad (see descriptions below). The waterproof-backed pads are also suitable for any woman requiring that little bit of extra protection during her periods.

All the pads are designed with flaps which hold the pads securely in panties. A wide and constantly changing range of colours and designs are available, photographs show designs which are available only while stocks last.

To help you choose which Moon Pads are most suitable for you:
Absorbency of Panty Liners, Regular and Super (Trifold) Waterproof pads is similar to that of disposable menstrual pads of the same names.

Moon Pads Panty Liner and Regular Waterproof pads work very well for stress incontinence, women needing "Super" protection for incontinence reasons may find the products in the links below are more suitable to their needs. Moon Pads have not been trialled by men.

Moon Pads recommends all people with stress-incontinence should seek medical advice about their condition, as there are many ways of easing the symptoms. Information about incontinence is available - see links at bottom of this page.

Customer feedback:
"I myself was a nurse and have shown my Moon Pads ( I keep a new one to display) to other retired nursing friends, because as we are aging we need that security to ensure we aren't caught short. I also have some pals still working and a couple deal with incontinence clinics and think your invention a boon. Personally the material you use is so comfortable you don't notice their presence. One of my daughter's friends bought one of your Passion Mats recently, she is from USA and thought she couldn't resist having one. Your Passion Mat product has been a boon for aiding my mobility. It allows me to sit and turn to exit from my car seat, I know the original idea is more sensuous in concept but it really works well in chairs and in bed for people who are getting stiff with arthritis etc. I have Parkinsons Syndrome and wear satin pajamas ( the PD association suggests satin sheets) the Passion Mat works better as with the towelling on the bottom it grips to the sheet. You are welcome to use my quotes and you might like to know that ,when I told friends that Moon Pads were a Tasmanian concept they frequently remarked that Tasmanian Women have great ideas !!"
