How to choose between adult pull-up pants and diapers?
The choice between adult pull-up pants and diapers can be considered from the following aspects:
Wearing experience
Mobility: If the user has strong mobility, such as being able to walk independently, getting up and moving frequently, etc., pull-up pants are more suitable. They are similar to underwear, easy to put on and take off, allowing users to move more freely and reduce the sense of restraint. If the user is bedridden for a long time and has little activity, diapers are more suitable. When putting them on and taking them off, you only need to open the Velcro on the side, which is simpler to operate and will not cause discomfort by turning the body too much.
Comfort: Adult pull-up pants have a good fit and can better adapt to the body's activities and posture changes. They fit more naturally at the waist and legs. Pull-up pants like "Aishule" have an elastic waist design that can effectively prevent side leakage. The wearing experience is similar to normal underwear. It is a good choice for the elderly who have a certain degree of self-care ability and pay attention to wearing experience. The advantage of diapers is that they have a large absorption capacity, and they perform better in absorbing urine and keeping dry. They have a multi-layer absorption core that can quickly absorb urine and lock in moisture, keeping the skin dry for a long time, and are more comfortable for people with large urine volume or prone to urinary incontinence.
Absorption performance
Urine volume: For people with large urine volume and frequent urinary incontinence, adult diapers are usually a better choice. Because diapers have a relatively large capacity and can better cope with large amounts of urine, some high-end diaper products use advanced absorbent materials and designs to accommodate multiple urinations and can be used for a long time without leakage. If there is only a small amount of urine leakage occasionally, the absorption capacity of pull-up pants can usually meet the needs. It absorbs quickly and can dry quickly, which can cope with daily mild incontinence problems.
Absorption speed: Some adult pull-up pants have extremely fast absorption speed, can absorb urine instantly, keep the surface dry, reduce the contact time between urine and skin, and reduce the chance of skin problems. Diapers also have excellent products in terms of absorption speed. Some brands have greatly improved the absorption speed by improving the core structure and material. The gap between the two in this regard is gradually narrowing.
Actual demand
Change frequency: If frequent changes are required, pull-up pants may increase costs, because their price is slightly higher than that of diapers, and they may need to take off their pants completely when putting on and taking off, which may not be convenient for people with limited mobility. Diapers are relatively convenient to change, and they can be changed by tearing the side, which is also more cost-effective. If the change frequency is low, such as only 1-2 times a day, then you can choose according to other needs, such as choosing pull-up pants for comfort, and choosing diapers for cost-effectiveness.
Nursing difficulty: For caregivers, it is more convenient to change adult diapers for the elderly who use diapers, especially in scenarios of multi-person care or centralized care, such as nursing homes, where diapers are easier to change quickly. But if it is home care, and you want to give the elderly a better wearing experience and reduce the psychological burden of the elderly, pull-up pants may be more suitable. It is closer to normal clothing and can make the elderly feel more natural.
