Senior Diapers

Senior diapers are absorbent incontinence products designed for adults who experience bladder or bowel leakage. Options include pull-up pants for users who can dress independently and more absorbent briefs or nappies for heavier leakage or caregiver-assisted changing. Products differ in size, absorbency, fastening style, leg protection and suitability for daytime or overnight use. Choose the correct size and absorbency so the product fits closely without digging into the skin or leaving gaps around the legs. Change it when wet or soiled, cleanse and dry the skin gently and use an appropriate barrier product when needed. Adult diapers help manage leakage but do not treat its cause; new or ongoing incontinence should be discussed with a healthcare professional because it is not an unavoidable consequence of ageing.
