The Rise of Disposables: Adult Diapers & More
The number of disposable incontinence products now available seems to keep growing and growing. The article, “When Did Adult Diapers Become Commercially Available?” discusses the evolution of incontinence products and how they have become more mainstream over the years.
According to Nonwovens Industry, manufacturers of disposable products continue to find new ways for those managing incontinence to live with their conditions. This includes advanced diaper and brief designs reflecting regular underwear in terms of fit, thinness, softness and discretion.
In choosing an incontinence product, it is highly recommended to try out different styles and sizes. Picking the right product is important. National Continence recommends taking the following criteria into consideration when shopping:
-
Level of Absorbency
-
Complete or Partial Bladder Emptying
-
Frequency of Changes
-
Intermittent or Constant Need
-
Activity Level
-
Changing the Product (sitting, standing)
-
Manual Dexterity
-
Size
There is a disposable product to fit many shapes and sizes but it may take some experimenting to find what works best for each person.
