How To Choose the Best Adult Diaper
Everyone’s needs are unique. Vitality Medical offers the top brands with a wide selection of diapers and briefs to meet those needs. When selecting a style of diaper, there are several factors to consider, including absorbency levels, fit, special features, waist size, gender, and intended use.
Diaper Absorbency Levels:
Every wearer’s level of incontinence is different. Vitality Medical supplies incontinence products designed for light (2 to 8 ounces), moderate (4 to 16 ounces), heavy (12 to 32 ounces), and super/maximum absorbancies (32 ounces and greater).
Special Features
Each diaper has unique design features to optimize comfort, skin health, and leak protection. Here is a description of special features to help with the buying process.
- Absorbent Core: Not only do incontinence diapers absorb liquid, but a large number of them also lock in unpleasant odors. MAXSORB is an example of gell core technology by Prevail that locks away moisture and keeps the wearer’s skin dry
- Odor Lock: To make wearing as discreet as possible, many brands have odor control within their core technology to lock away unpleasant smells, helping minimize odor until it's changed.
- Elastic Leg Gathers: Fitting snuggly against the wearer’s leg, elastics help prevent leakage.
- Wetness Indicator: Some incontinence underwear includes a visible queue that alerts the caregiver when the diaper should be changed.
- Length and Crosswise Barriers: These maximize the absorption of the diaper and help to prevent leaks.
- Wicking Technology: ABENA features proprietary technology called Top-Dry that draws moisture away from the surface of the diaper to get moisture away from the skin and into the core, allowing the wearer to stay fresh longer while maintaining skin integrity.
- Adjustable Tabs: Briefs with tabs create a personalized and snug fit to the wearer’s unique body shape to help with leakage protection. The repositionable tabs ensure the fit without ruining the adhesive and wasting the product.
- Breathable Material: These diapers are designed with technology that allows body heat, moisture vapor, and air to pass through them, keeping the wearer’s skin healthy and dry.
Comfort and Secure Fit:
Correctly sizing incontinence diapers is of the utmost importance. Incontinence underwear is meant to fit snuggly against the wearer’s skin for optimal leak protection. Each brand and type has fitting instructions to inform the user of the best size for them. Diapers with tabs and belted disposable underwear are more adjustable to create the perfect fit.
Gender-Specific Options:
Some brands offer incontinence underwear specifically to target and address the needs of males and females. Male underwear features additional protection toward the front and in other targeted zones for maximum protection. They are also available in shades of gray for a more masculine and more normal underwear-like appearance. Women’s diapers comfortably fit the contours of the female body, have built-in gender-specific absorption areas, and may have feminine color options such as pink and purple.
