Adult incontinence care is a well-recognized part of modern healthcare. With the right products and care methods, users can maintain comfort, dignity, and daily independence.
This guide introduces the most commonly used incontinence care products and explains how to choose and use them correctly in different care scenarios.
Get to Know Different Care Products
Among the many incontinence care options available, two core product types cover the vast majority of daily care needs:
Adhesive diapers
These are suitable for individuals who require bed rest or experience moderate to severe incontinence. The adjustable tab (Velcro-style) design allows caregivers to change the product while the user is lying flat or on their side. Adhesive diapers typically feature thicker absorbent cores, offering enhanced protection and stability.
Pull-up pants
Pull-up pants are designed for users with some level of mobility. Worn like regular underwear, they offer a more natural wearing experience, better discretion, and a stronger sense of independence. They are ideal for daily activities and short periods of standing or walking.
These two products form the foundation of modern incontinence care, addressing needs that range from complete bed rest to independent movement.
Choosing the right product depends on the specific care situation, which we explain below.
Choose the Product According to the Specific Situation
Consider the User’s Condition
When selecting an incontinence care product, caregivers should evaluate:
-
Activity ability: Can the user stand, walk, or assist with movement?
-
Degree of incontinence: Is it mild, moderate, or severe?
-
Daily requirements: Is the product mainly for daytime use, nighttime protection, or both?
Practical Choice Suggestions
-
If the user remains in bed most of the time, adhesive diapers are generally easier to apply and adjust.
-
If the user can walk or stand briefly, pull-up pants provide greater convenience and autonomy.
-
For nighttime use, high-absorption adhesive diapers are often a more reliable choice.
Special Care Scenarios: When the Elderly Have Difficulty Cooperating
In certain situations—such as when elderly individuals are drowsy after medication, experience involuntary limb movement, or lack self-care ability—pull-up pants can offer unique advantages.
-
Faster operation: Caregivers can take advantage of brief moments of calm to complete the change efficiently.
-
Reduced operational difficulty: Pull-up pants are more tolerant of imperfect positioning and do not require precise taping.
-
Lower caregiver stress: The process resembles dressing rather than medical handling, reducing frustration for both parties.
These adventages are frequently discussed in eldercare and contience care education resources.
Operational Skills for Difficult Care Situations
-
Prepare in advance: Communicate the care plan when the user is relatively alert.
-
Use the side-lying position: This is the safest and most practical starting position.
-
Act efficiently: Tear open the side seams of the pull-up pants, lay them flat under the hips, assist the user in turning, and complete the change smoothly.
-
Prevent leakage: Carefully adjust the leg guards at the thigh root to reduce side leakage.
Detailed Instructions for Correct Wearing
Putting On Pull-Up Pants Independently
-
Place both hands on the waistband and step into the leg openings.
-
Pull the pants up to the waist, adjusting them over the hips and buttocks.
-
Ensure the leg guards are properly positioned and the waistband lies flat.
Assisting Others with Pull-Up Pants (Side-Lying Method)
-
Help the user turn onto one side, facing away from the caregiver.
-
Slide the back half of the pull-up pants flat under the waist and hips.
-
Assist the user onto their back and guide their feet into the leg openings.
-
Pull the pants up in one smooth motion, asking for cooperation if possible.
-
Adjust the leak guards to ensure full contact with the skin.
Assisting Others with Adhesive Diapers
-
Help the user lie on their side and position the back panel under the body.
-
Assist them onto their back and pull the front panel over the abdomen.
-
Secure the lower tabs first (angled slightly upward), then the upper tabs (angled slightly downward).
-
Adjust for a snug but comfortable fit around the waist and legs.
Key Care Steps for Maintaining Healthy Skin
Each time the product is changed, caregivers should:
-
Clean the skin gently from front to back using mild wipes.
-
Pat the area dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
-
Apply a protective skin barrier cream when needed.
-
Check for redness, irritation, or early signs of skin damage.
Consistent skin care is essential for preventing moisture-related irritation and discomfort.
Practical Care Advice
-
Choose the correct size: Refer to the size chart and prioritize waist and hip measurements.
-
Control replacement frequency: Typically every 3–4 hours, or immediately when damp.
-
Dispose properly: Roll used products and secure them with built-in tapes to help control odors.
-
Enhance protection when needed: At night or during outings, consider absorbent pads or waterproof care pants.
Important Nursing Principles
-
Communicate clearly before each care step.
-
Protect privacy and maintain a respectful environment.
-
Expose only necessary areas during care.
-
Encourage user participation whenever safely possible.
