It’s important to dispose of used incontinence pads as hygienically as possible. The best way is to use disposal bags that are specially designed for incontinence pads. They are stronger than ordinary disposable bags, which means that they are unlikely to rip, whilst also sealing in any odour.
Some disposable bags are lightly fragranced, which is very useful for masking any unwanted odour. You can also find fragranced pedal bin liners designed for the disposal of incontinence pads in larger bins.
Incontinence pads should never be flushed down the toilet, as they can swell and cause a serious blockage. You should also avoid throwing pads away in public bins without using a bag. Bags can seal the pads and odour in, and is a hygienic and considerate way to dispose of incontinence pads when in public.
