Are you or your family worried about incontinence or leaking issues when using adult diapers? With so many types of adult diapers available in the market, how should we choose?


Choosing Adult Diapers


The selection of adult diapers mainly considers the size and the usage scenarios.


To prevent leaks, it is necessary to choose a well-fitting size of adult diapers


Before purchasing, measure the user's waist, hip, and thigh circumference. Choose a size according to the measurements.


Based on the usage scenarios


Choose the absorbency level based on whether the diaper will be used for daily or nightly use and specific situations.


For daytime use, where frequent changes are possible, choose diapers or pads with lower absorbency. For nighttime, where frequent changes are not feasible, choose high-absorbency diapers. It is recommended to use different types for day and night.


Additionally, different types can be chosen based on specific activities.


For example, for outings, choose more activity-friendly and ultra thin adult diapers or underwear-type diapers.


For sleeping, choose tape-type diapers with higher absorbency.


Select based on urine output


When confirming the absorbency level of the diaper, consider the user's daily urine output and frequency of urination.


Generally, the average urine output per occasion for elderly individuals is around 150 ml, though there can be individual differences.


If the specific urine output of the user is uncertain, measure the weight difference before and after using the diaper to understand the amount of urine and then make a selection.


Precautions for Using Adult Diapers


Using adult diapers may lead to a decline in physical strength and bodily functions


Users and caregivers often become overly reliant on products like adult diapers. Once diapers are used, users tend to lie in bed frequently and no longer attempt to get up to use the toilet.


This reduces the use of muscles and bodily functions, leading to muscle atrophy and functional decline, exacerbating the user's disability.


Therefore, it is recommended to choose products that can maintain the current condition of the user as much as possible. For example, if the user can use the toilet during the day, they should continue to do so, and only use the diaper during difficult nighttime periods.


Consider using portable toilets, walkers, or installing grab bars in the bathroom to lessen the burden of using the toilet for the user.


In summary, the key to improving the quality of adult diapers should focus on preventing leaks, breathability, and deodorization. Do not overly rely on the convenience of diapers and neglect using bodily functions.


The use of adult diapers can be a sensitive issue for the user


Hence, whether to use adult diapers and what type to use should not be decided solely by family members but also take into account the user's opinion.


Sometimes, adult diapers can cause skin problems


Improper selection of diapers, excessive urine absorption, over-humidity, skin compression, and leaks can cause skin redness, itching, and other issues.


Therefore, when using adult diapers, change the user's position regularly to avoid prolonged static posture. Frequently change diapers or pads and maintain skin cleanliness to effectively reduce the occurrence of skin problems, and you can choose adult diapers for sensitive skin.
