Considerations for choosing adult diapers

Adult diapers are disposable paper-based incontinence products, one of the adult care products, primarily suitable for incontinent adults as a disposable diaper. Most adult diapers are purchased in sheet form and transformed into a shorts-like shape after being worn. The adhesive sheets are used to connect and form a pair of shorts. The adhesive sheets also serve to adjust the waist size, making them suitable for different body shapes, whether thin or thick. Generally, the structure of diapers is divided into three layers from the inside out: the inner layer is made of non-woven fabric and closely adheres to the skin; the middle layer is made of absorbent fluff pulp with the addition of high molecular weight absorbents; and the outer layer is made of impermeable plastic film..

Adult diapers - how to choose appearance When selecting diapers, one should compare their appearance to find the suitable ones, so that they can fulfill their intended function.

  1: It must fit the wearer's body shape. Especially, the elastic bands around the legs and waist should not be too tight, otherwise they may cause skin irritation. The sizes of diapers may not be consistent, and may vary depending on different manufacturers and brands. It is recommended to refer to the size indicated on the packaging.

2: The leak-proof design prevents urine leakage. Adults have more urine, so choosing diapers with a leak-proof design, such as those with raised pleats on the inner thighs and waist, can effectively prevent leakage when there is too much urine.

3: The adhesive function should be good. When in use, the adhesive patch should be able to adhere tightly to the diaper and remain re-stickable even after the diaper is removed. It should not loosen or fall off, even when the patient transfers between the wheelchair and a standing position.

When using diapers internally, it is essential to consider the uniqueness of individual skin sensitivity differences. After selecting the appropriate size of diapers, the following aspects should also be taken into account:

1: Diapers should be soft, non-allergenic, and contain skin care ingredients.

2: Diapers should have strong water absorption capacity.

3: Choose diapers with high breathability. When the ambient temperature rises, it becomes difficult to control the skin's temperature. If moisture and heat cannot be properly released, it is easy to develop heat rash and diaper rash
