What should the elderly pay attention to when purchasing adult diapers?
Although using adult diapers is not difficult, there are still some relevant points to note when using them
After using diapers, wrap the used diapers and throw them into the trash can. Do not flush them down the toilet, as diapers are different from toilet paper and will not dissolve
2. If the diaper is dirty, it should be changed immediately. Otherwise, wearing a wet and stuffy diaper all the time is not only unhygienic but also harmful to the body
3. Sanitary pads cannot be used as a substitute for adult diapers. Although the usage of diapers is very similar to that of sanitary pads, sanitary pads cannot be used as a substitute because their design differs from adult diapers, which have a unique water absorption system
4. Most adult diapers are purchased in a sheet form and become shorts-like after being worn. They are connected into a pair of shorts using adhesive sheets. The adhesive sheets also serve to adjust the waist size, making them suitable for different body shapes. Therefore, it is important to adjust the fit properly when using them
5. Understand your own situation clearly, and prepare an adequate amount of diapers when going out, so as not to be caught off guard when needed
Points to consider when elderly people choose adult diapers
1. Choose adult diapers made of soft materials that won't cause allergies and contain skin care ingredients. It is also important to choose diapers with high breathability, especially during hot summer days. If moisture and heat cannot be properly released, the elderly are prone to developing heat rash and diaper rash;
2. When selecting, it is important to pay attention to whether the leak-proof design of the diapers is safe, as adults have more urine. Choosing diapers with a leak-proof design can effectively prevent leakage when there is excessive urine volume;
3. Good water absorption and the ability to keep dry are also important factors in selection
