How to choose the size of incontinence adult diapers?
When choosing the size of incontinence adult diapers, you need to consider multiple factors such as waist circumference, hip circumference, and weight. The following are specific methods:
Measure waist circumference and hip circumference
Waist circumference: Let the user stand or lie down naturally, and use a soft tape measure to circle the body horizontally above the navel. The measured length is the waist circumference. When measuring, the tape measure should be kept horizontal and fit the body, but not too tight, so that a finger can be inserted.
Hip circumference: Let the user stand, put his feet together, and use a soft tape measure to measure horizontally around the fullest part of the buttocks to get the hip circumference data. Similarly, the tape measure should not be too tight or too loose to ensure the accuracy of the measurement data.
Reference weight
Generally speaking, there will be a size reference range corresponding to weight on the packaging of diapers. For example, for some brands of adult incontinence diapers, people weighing about 40-60 kg may be suitable for M size, 60-80 kg for L size, 80-100 kg for XL size, etc. However, weight is only a rough reference and cannot be used as the only basis for size selection, because different people may have different body shapes and distributions of fat and thinness.
Consider special circumstances
Special conditions on the abdomen or buttocks: If the user has a large wound or fistula on the abdomen, or swelling or bedsores on the buttocks, etc., you should be appropriately relaxed when choosing the size. You can choose a adult diaper that is one size larger than the normal measurement size to avoid compressing the wound or affected area and affecting recovery.
Wearing multiple layers of clothing: If you need to wear multiple layers of clothing in winter, etc., you should also choose a slightly larger size to ensure that the diaper can be worn comfortably inside the clothing, and will not affect blood circulation or cause discomfort due to being too tight.
Adult diapers trying on and adjusting
First purchase: It is recommended to buy a small package or trial pack for trial. If you find that the diaper is too tight at the waist or legs, has marks, or feels too loose, and is prone to side leakage, etc., you need to adjust the size.
Long-term use: If the user's weight, physical condition, etc. change, the incontinence adult diaper size should be remeasured and adjusted in time to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
