Abstract
This chapter focuses on the current place of washable, textile-based absorbent products in the management of urinary incontinence. It opens by describing the principal categories of products available, summarises the functional requirements of users, and reviews the clinical literature to establish how well existing products meet current needs. It then reviews the very limited work that has been published to characterise the fluid-handling properties of such products in the laboratory and relates the results to clinical data. It concludes by focusing on future trends, suggesting where improved products are needed.
