Medium Adult Diapers & Pull Ups

There are people who are unable to control their urinary and defecation functions. These situations often happen in old age when they have reduced capability of controlling these functions. Some people with disabilities also have this problem, especially those who are wheelchair dependent.

In cases where patients are advised by their doctors not to leave their bed because of a serious medical condition, adult diapers are sometimes used. Even younger people whose jobs prevent them from having access to a bathroom use diapers.

There are several features people look for when it comes to adult diapers. The truth is, not everyone is comfortable letting other people know of their incontinence. The first considerations for many include comfort and discretion. For others, it’s health and cleanliness. The ideal diapers are the ones that offer comfort and a healthy lifestyle.

Liquid Absorption and Retention Capacity

Skin health and safety should always be one of the top priorities, whether you’re choosing a diaper for adults or sanitary napkins. The most appealing factors for both types of products are their absorption capacity and how much they can retain.

An adult diaper absorbs liquids and prevents the skin from becoming irritated. The absorbent lining inside immediately absorbs any liquid to limit its contact with a person’s skin.

Leak-Proof

Diapers for men need to be leak-proof. Lots of men lead active lifestyles, and any diaper men use should not only absorb liquid but also prevent it from leaking. Most men wear these diapers under their underwear for additional protection.

The size of your diaper can also affect its leak-proof feature. For waist sizes of 34-44 inches, adult diapers medium are needed. For waists of 44-58 inches, you need a size large. Additionally, 58-68 inches require extra-large, and 68-80 inches requires XXL.

Bacterial Growth Control

In cases of incontinence, liquid will definitely come into contact with your skin no matter how good the absorbency of your diaper is. Any adult diapers should have substances that control the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Dermatitis is a real medical concern, not only for people with incontinence but also for babies and women who use sanitary napkins. Extra care is needed to address their needs. That’s why most adult incontinence products have substances added to them that prevent dermatitis.

Odor Elimination

Disposable diapers have a feature that eliminates or at least reduces odors caused by incontinence. People with medical conditions especially need this feature because the medication they take can sometimes result in smelly urine. In normal incontinence situations, having less odor is also important just for modesty.

Improved Quality of Life

Many older people think that when incontinence comes, their life will never be good again. That’s not true at all. Older people who use diapers have been known to lead vibrant and exciting lives. Some have even done extreme sports. Life can still be fulfilling even with incontinence.
