What are adult diapers?

Adult diapers can be broadly classified into “rehabilitation pants” and “tape diapers”.

Rehabilitation pants are so-called pants-type diapers.
Since it is used like underwear, it is suitable for people who go to the toilet by themselves or who can go to the toilet with nursing care.
In recent years, it has become thinner, so the silhouette after wearing is more natural and comfortable to use.

Tape-on diapers, as the name suggests, are diapers that are fastened with tape.
Unlike rehabilitation pants that are worn like underwear, they are often used as excretion products for bedridden people because they are easy to change while lying on the bed.
In addition, it is highly absorbent and can be used in combination with urine absorbing pads to reduce the burden of changing diapers.

how to choose

There are a wide variety of excretion products sold by various manufacturers.
What should I pay attention to when choosing?

(1) Absorption amount
Even within the same manufacturer, there are “long-time use” and “thin type”, and in most cases, the thin type absorbs less.

Let's select it considering the amount of urine and the number of toilets of the person.

②Size
Many manufacturers sell sizes from S to LL.
Since the size difference differs depending on the manufacturer, check the waist size display before making a selection.

Since diapers are worn for a long time, they can cause skin problems.
Select materials that are gentle on the skin, such as those with good breathability and weakly acidic materials. If you still see redness on your skin, apply a moisturizer to protect your skin.

・I can't put it on correctly
Since it is very compact before use, you can "put up the gathers at the base" in advance, and if you are using rehabilitation pants, "put both hands in and lay them on your side 2-3 times."
It is also necessary to prepare to stretch to

-Not enough absorption
If there is no problem with the size and how to put it on, but it leaks, change to a thicker diaper or put a urine absorbing pad in the diaper.
Is good. As for the rehabilitation pants, we recommend using the dedicated Velcro pads as they will not slip off easily.
By using incontinence pads together, diaper costs and the burden of nursing care can be reduced.

In addition, since some people do not realize that they have urinated, frequent checks by caregivers can prevent urine leakage.
