I think they may be more absorbent. I've uses bladder pads for menstrual purposes but never the other way around. If its not too severe I would say they're probably interchangable.

they are different. May I put in a plug for surgery if anyone needs it. It is amazing how it can change your life.

Thanks bke and Kally. I just can't talk myself into a surgery just yet.....even though I pee maybe 12-15 times a day. :(

Kegel exercises?

Those don't seem to help. I think its just plain gravity!

once the kegels don't work I think it is down to surgery. There is a newish technique that is less invasive than some of the old ones. But if you can handle it without that is good too.
