About Protective Underwear and Pull-Ons
Protective underwear is a disposable, pull-on incontinence product worn like regular underwear, with an absorbent core and elastic waist. Unlike tabbed briefs, it is pulled up and down, and most styles have tear-away side seams for removal. This collection within Incontinence Supplies includes adult pull-ons from First Quality, Attends and Essity.
Fit comes first. Sizes such as small, medium, large, XL and 2XL are defined by a waist or hip range in inches, and those ranges vary between manufacturers, so measure and compare against each product's chart rather than going by the size letter. A product that is too loose can shift, while one that is too tight is uncomfortable.
Absorbency is the second choice. Manufacturers rate their products on scales such as moderate, heavy, maximum or overnight, and those ratings are relative within each brand. Some styles are unisex, and others are cut for men or women.
Count is how many pieces come in a bag, and cases hold several bags. When reordering, read the REF number, size and absorbency level from your current bag; those three details together identify the exact item.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find the right size and absorbency?
Measure around the waist and the widest part of the hips, then pick the size whose range covers both on the manufacturer's chart. Size ranges differ by brand. For absorbency, choose the level that matches the amount of leakage you need to manage, and consider an overnight style for longer wear.
Is protective underwear covered by insurance?
Protective underwear often has a HCPCS code, which is shown on the product page for reference. Some state Medicaid programs and other plans cover incontinence products, while many plans do not, so coverage depends on your payer and plan. ArmadaMeds is a retailer and does not bill insurance or promise coverage.
Can I buy protective underwear by the case?
Yes. Most items are available by the bag and by the case, and each is listed separately. The count on the product page shows how many pieces are included. To reorder, use the REF number on your current bag and confirm the size and absorbency match before checking out.
