50 women with normal urinary control and 100 women with urinary incontinence wore a series of preweighed sanitary towels for 1 h. The pads were weighed again after use. Mean pad weight increase was less than 1 g/h in normal women and 12.2 g/h in women with incontinence. In each case the pad-weighing test provided information about the severity and the pattern of incontinence which was not easy to obtain either from patient interview or from clinical examination.
50名排尿正常的女性和100名尿失禁女性佩戴了一系列预先称重的卫生巾1小时。使用后再次对卫生巾称重。排尿正常的女性卫生巾平均重量增加小于1克/小时，尿失禁女性为12.2克/小时。在每种情况下，卫生巾称重测试都提供了有关尿失禁严重程度和模式的信息，而这些信息无论是通过患者访谈还是临床检查都不容易获得。
