Disposable diapers for adults are structurally little different from similar products for children. They have 2 layers: the outer one, which is an insulating film with fixation (usually Velcro) and the inner absorbent. Features to look out for when buying:
When choosing a size, first of all, you need to measure the patient's waist with a measuring tape. Measurement should be carried out in the place where it is maximum (in the hips).
A measuring tape is placed through the bulging points of the abdomen. An important characteristic is the amount of moisture that is absorbed by the hygiene product. Immobilized patients are advised to buy diapers with increased absorbency. The same requirement should be observed when purchasing products for seniors who are physically active but do not have the ability to change diapers frequently. For the night, you also need to select products with increased absorbency.
The most reliable option for the fixing structure is the Velcro fastener. Ideally, they should be reusable.
Nowadays diapers with the same inner layer material are produced, the absorbent of different companies practically does not differ. You should pay attention to the outer layer, as it is "breathable", that is, air permeable. Another option is a thin oilcloth material. It is considered "non-breathing" and can rustle when moving. People whose skin is prone to irritation should not use such diapers, active citizens are also better off buying "breathable" options. They create good conditions for the skin. Comfort during physical daily activity improves quality of life and improves mood.
Additional earbuds are recommended for sedentary incontinent persons. The use of diapers complete with inserts makes the product more economical. For men and women, they have some differences. The male version has an insert made in the form of a pocket attached to the diaper. The liner has a protective layer along the edges to prevent leakage. Sharing diapers and liners provides reliable protection.
When choosing products for care, it is better to stay on proven products from well-known companies. It is better to pay a little more than risk the health of a loved one.
