Whiff-X: The Odour Neutralizer

Incontrol diapers are a popular choice for a number of reasons — a key one being that customers love the powerful, hypoallergenic triple action Whiff-X core in our diapers.

What does Whiff-X Core do?

Whiff-X technology provides a surplus of benefits, like:

- Wicking away moisture and locking it in to keep your skin dry.
- Eliminating bacteria to keep your skin healthy.
- Neutralizing odours during and after use, so you stay confident while you’re wearing our products. 

The Whiff-X core can be identified by the dark coloured strip located between the standing leg guards.

Why Do These Benefits Matter?

Our customers are more comfortable when their diaper feels dry shortly after a bladder void. Whiff-X also eliminates bacteria, decreasing the chance of prolonged bacteria exposure and providing a better overall experience for individuals who have incontinence.

Customers can feel confident that their odours are neutralized by our Whiff-X technology, so bladder voids are not easily detected due to smells. This neutralizing odour feature is especially important to those who feel self-conscious when changing their diaper at a friend's house or in a public restroom and wish to be discreet when discarding their used disposable. 

Additional Benefits 

If you find that the Whiff-X technology is not neutralizing the urine scent, then this section is for you!

Combine Whiff-X technology with your knowledge to detect a health issue such as a UTI.

What is a UTI?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common type of infection among individuals with incontinence but it is not limited to those who experience incontinence. A UTI is a bacterial infection of your urinary system and is often treated with antibiotics. The Whiff-X core in our diapers is designed to eliminate bacteria, which helps reduce the chances of a UTI occurring, due to less exposure to the bacteria. There's still a chance that they can occur, however, and there is another great way to detect when they do.

UTI symptoms can include a strong urine smell, needing to urinate often, pain when peeing, and pain in your side and lower back. While these painful symptoms do occur, it is often the strong smell that is noticeable first and can be a great early warning sign of a UTI.

For those still using other brands of incontinence supplies, you may not notice a stronger odour when your brand doesn’t already eliminate the scent for you. That can make it harder to distinguish when a UTI happens.

That’s why using a product with a Whiff-X core makes a massive difference! Usually, with Whiff-X, you will not experience the strong odours other incontinence products can’t cover, but when a UTI occurs there will be a noticeable change as the Whiff-X core will not completely eliminate the odour right away and may take longer to eliminate the smell as a result.

With this knowledge you can use Whiff-X technology to protect yourself from getting UTIs and also easily identify the early signs of one.
