Proper use of disposable adult diapers for the elderly not only enhances their living comfort, but also prevents skin problems. Below is a step-by-step detailed guide, combined with care points and precautions, to help family members or caregivers operate scientifically:

Choose the right diaper, select the precise size (e.g. M/L/XL) according to the waist and hip circumference of the elderly to avoid over-tightening strangulation marks or over-loosening leakage; give priority to sensitive muscles to choose products with non-woven surface and weak acidic formula; the degree of incontinence determines the amount of absorbency; lightweight models are available for mild cases, while high absorbency design is needed for heavy cases. Prepare before wearing, make sure the operating environment is warm and well lit, and prepare wet wipes, paper towels, buttock cream and other auxiliary supplies. Clean your private parts and buttocks with warm water or wet wipes, dry them and apply a small amount of buttock ointment (e.g. zinc oxide ointment) to prevent rashes.

Wearing steps: Adult disposable diapers unfold: lay flat and distinguish between front and back (the front side usually has a pattern or elastic waistband). Adjust the posture: assist the older person to lie on the side or flat, legs slightly bent to expose the buttocks. Wearing method: the back piece is padded on the buttocks and pulled upward to the waist, the front piece covers the abdomen and adjusts the symmetry, the Velcro adjusts the elasticity according to the waist circumference (it can be inserted into 1-2 fingers as appropriate), and the leakage-proof side is flipped outward to fit the root of the thigh.

Daily care, change frequency: change every 2-3 hours when urinating a lot, can be extended to 4-6 hours at night, incontinence change immediately. Skin observation: check the skin for redness, swelling and breakage during each change, and seek medical attention when abnormal. Comfort Adjustment: Regularly ask the elderly how they feel, adjust the adult diaper velcro elasticity or change the model.

Precautions: Avoid prolonged wearing: Even if there is no urination, it is recommended to change every 4 hours to keep the skin dry. Allergic reaction: immediately stop using and change the brand if there is rash or itching, and seek medical attention if it is serious. Environmental protection and economy: Choose biodegradable material products, or use a combination of economic/high-end type. Psychological care: Respect privacy when wearing, use gentle language to communicate to avoid embarrassment. Through the scientific use of disposable adult diapers, not only can we improve the quality of life of the elderly, but also effectively prevent bedsores, urinary tract infections and other complications, which is an important part of care for the elderly at home.
