Hi Everyone,

I am in awe of the amount of information on your site. New to your forum, this is my first posting.

I have been using pull-ups for 10 years and added booster pads after two years. Has there ever been a testing or rating for various pull-up and booster pads for effectiveness at odor control? Since the sense of smell is the first sense to fatigue and fail, the user is the last one to know he or she has a problem.

Thanks,

Leaky Guy

Welcome Leaky Guy. Good "handle!" I know of no formal reviews of odor control for pullups or booster pads. You may find comments in the reviews of individual pullups or booster pads. I will note that all pull-ups are breathable and necessarily bad for odor control. Some have a deodorant added to the mat. Some boosters are scented.

Hi Leaky Guy, apparently vitamin C has some positive affect on the odor, as does upping your water intake.
