Wellness Brief - Original Overview
Original Wellness Brief is designed to last 8 hours using NASA-inspired multi-layered InconTek technology. These adult diapers are super absorbent and can absorb up to 2.6 liters of liquid while still keeping the skin dry and comfortable. Similar to designs used by astronauts during long space missions, Wellness Briefs absorb more liquid than standard adult diapers.
Original Unique Wellness Briefs pull moisture away from your skin and lock it in a core absorbent layer to avoid skin irritation. These briefs reduce your risk of skin infections. Patients can be changed every 8 hours or three times daily to minimize exposure to the effects of urine. The Unique Wellness Original Briefs are ideal for overnight use, travel, or any time the wearer needs to go long periods of time without changes. Wellness Briefs are disposable.

Fluid-Resistant Barrier
These briefs are intended for nonambulatory individuals and therefore have a heavier, fluid-resistant plastic backsheet to prevent strike-through, keeping the wearer and the bedding dry. Mobile or active users would benefit more from the Wellness Superio Series due to its quieter plastic backing that won't make crinkle sounds with movement.
Customized Fit With Easy-To-Fasten Tapes
Designed with caregivers in mind, the briefs have dual tape tabs on each side to create a custom fit that will hold well. The tabs are repositionable to allow for unlimited adjustments without tearing the material.
