Adult diapers come in various types, such as pull-on adult diapers, tape-fastened adult diapers, and incontinence insert pads, and each product has different characteristics such as materials, breathability, absorption speed, and feel.
It is important to select the appropriate product by considering not only the absorption capacity but also the user’s physical condition, defecation actions, skin condition, living environment, and the situation of the caregiver.
A diaper is not just a disposable item, but becomes a “welfare device for promoting independence” that supports life when properly selected and utilized.
The care, welfare, nursing and childcare website けあサポ, run by Chuohoki Publishing, has published part of the special feature ‘How to choose diapers and basic knowledge.’
