Absorbent Adult Pull Ups or Disposable Diapers

Selecting the right type of incontinence product is the most important decision that will make your life simpler and help you lead a normal life. With a multitude of products available right from disposable diapers, reusable diapers, adult pull ups, briefs and lots more, the choice is not an easy one. In fact, people are likely to go in circles. In this post, we will explain the basic differences between adult diapers and adult pull ups which will help you make the right choice in future.

Adult Briefs/Diapers

An adult brief also known as diapers, is the most preferred and widely used incontinence item for caregivers to use. Briefs are known for their comfortable fit and are totally adjustable due to taped sides and prevent leaks, and can be changed without the removal of clothing. Briefs have a higher absorbency, making it a number one choice if the individual using the briefs is completely immobile or bedridden and cannot use the bathroom regularly. Due to high absorbency level, they require fewer changes. This product is ideal in case where changes cannot be made as often or there is budget constraint for purchasing any incontinence items.

Adult Pull Ups/Underwear

Adult pull ups also known as pull ons or disposable underwear come with elastic waistbands and are used by wearers who prefer using the bathroom when possible. Pull ons are available in a variety of waist sizes and come in elastic waist bands for a comfortable fit. Pull-on styles are easy to put on as well as remove, making them a far more convenient option to use and a good choice for wearer who uses the bathroom instead of using a diaper. Many wearers say pull-ups offer more dignity compared to brief diapers, as they resemble normal underwear.

However, the wearer might need adult pull ups if he/she can’t make it to the bathroom on time. Adult pull ups also comes across as a great option for people suffering from low incontinence and require protection from occasional accidents/leaks.
