The 5 Most Important Qualities in an Adult Diaper

Cost effectiveness: This of course tops the list in the number one spot. With these poor economical times, we all are looking for the best quality for our hard earned money. You want to seek out a product that offers the most cost effectiveness while still providing time efficiency in the number of diaper changes needed on a 24 hour basis.

User Friendly: This is an important part of any adult diaper use, and only having 3 changes per day, while still protecting from irritation and rash, while keeping the person dry is a large part of being user friendly.

Environmentally friendly: Reducing the carbon footprint from fuel and electricity to manufacture the adult diapers is an important step in reducing the environmental impact from landfills that are overrun with garbage. Choosing an adult diaper that if biodegradable and provides protection while lowering the number of diapers used each day can reduce the landfill by 70 percent.

Free from odor: Make sure any adult diaper you choose has a layered system that will keep the diaper free from odor associated with incontinence.

Personal Preference: As we mentioned above, choosing the right style and absorption level is important, as well as choosing one that will fit under clothes without giving a bulky appearance.

Over 25 million Americans suffer from incontinence, and utilizing this simple checklist when choosing an adult diaper can provide a person the secure knowledge that there is a solution available.
