Pads for Men

Description

Why choose reusable pads for men?

Urine leaks in men remain a silenced topic. Many times, they are faced in solitude, without clear options or products designed for the male body.

With this reusable men’s pad from nüshu, I want to offer you a sustainable, respectful, and affordable alternative to accompany you in your daily life with total normality.

Male urinary incontinence: common types and causes

According to a prevalence study (2013), 1 in 4 men over 40 suffers from some type of involuntary urine leakage. It may be something occasional or a more continuous situation.

There are several types of male urinary incontinence, the most common being post-micturition dribble (also known as post-void dribble or terminal dribble) and urge incontinence. Other types are significant incontinence (involuntary leaks when the bladder fills, often due to an enlarged prostate) and stress incontinence. Spina bifida can also lead to loss of bladder control and cause urine leaks.

The best way to know what is happening to you is to consult your doctor so they can help you with the right treatment.

Differences between light absorption and extra absorption

To help you find what best suits your body and needs, this pad is available in two absorption levels:

• Light absorption: ideal for mild leaks or occasional dribbles. Thinner and more discreet.
• Extra absorption: designed for heavier leaks or prolonged use during the day or night. Offers greater capacity without losing comfort.

Both options are made with the same soft, breathable, and waterproof materials, and fit well into slip-style underwear thanks to their snap-on wings.

Materials of the reusable men’s pad by nüshu

This men’s pad is designed for your comfort, your intimate health, and the care of the planet. It is made of several layers of certified fabrics, all free from toxins (OEKO TEX® 100 certification):

• 100% cotton flannel: the layer in direct contact with the body. Very soft, prevents irritation and chafing.
• Inner absorbent layers of 100% cotton: effectively and evenly absorb urine.
• Technical waterproof and breathable fabric: prevents leaks without creating dampness, avoiding infections or bad odors.
• Discreet outer cotton layer: the part in contact with underwear. The whole set stays thin, without being bulky.

It is lovingly hand-stitched in local workshops, with attention to every detail.

How to wash and care for a cloth pad for men

It’s very easy to keep your pad clean and in good condition for years. You just need to follow a few simple steps:

• Before first use, I recommend washing it to activate its absorbency.
• Wash it after every use. You can wash it by hand or in the washing machine, but do not exceed 30 °C.
• If you choose the washing machine, rinse it by hand first to remove excess urine.
• Do not use a dryer or fabric softeners.
• For stubborn stains, you can add sodium percarbonate, a natural whitener.
• Let it air dry and store it in a dry place until next use.

Complementary products to support your daily care

To make daily use and care of your pad easier, I suggest some products you can also find at nüshu:

• Sustainable soap: perfect for washing the pad without damaging fabrics or your skin.
• Sodium percarbonate: ideal for removing stains and disinfecting without toxins.
• Waterproof transport bag: to store the used pad when you’re out of the house.
• Super absorbent bed protector: for greater security at night.

Everything I offer is designed so you can take care of yourself in a simple, natural, and waste-free way.
