Ways to avoid diaper leakage in adults

• The onset of urinary incontinence or the sudden,
  unavoidable leakage of urine can bring a cloud of
  anxiety, despair and embarrassment to the
  patients. Despite taking medicines and using
  incontinence aids to manage their urine flow,
  patients are always worried about leakage.
• Urine leakage can be well managed with the use of
  incontinence products like diapers made for
  adults. Even with super absorbent diapers,
  sometimes leakage can occur due to various
  reasons. This can affect the patient and their
  caretaker in more than one way. Hence it is best
  to familiarize oneself with ways to avoid diaper
  leakage.
• Choosing superior quality adults diapers One of
  the most common reasons behind leakage is the
  purchase of low quality diapers that cannot
  absorb the patients heavy flow. Caretakers or
  patients must choose hypoallergenic diapers made
  from superior absorbent materials which are able
  to contain moderate to heavy incontinence flow,
  rather than choosing ordinary diapers available
  at lower costs.
• Pick the right kind of diaper Adult diapers
  come in different sizes and styles to suit the
  needs of the wearer. Different style of diapers
  are meant to be used on different occasions or
  times of the day. Bedridden patients or those
  who suffer from a heavy flow should use overnight
  diapers for adults even during the day. Overnight
  diapers are designed for long hours of usage and
  have high absorbency levels, thereby minimizing
  the chances of leakage. Patients who experience
  moderate incontinence flow can use pull-on
  diapers or disposable adult diapers that are
  easier to wear and change. These diapers can be
  worn during the day as they fit like a regular
  underwear. Patients can wear these diapers under
  their clothes and step out without worries as
  these can be adjusted to the comfort of the
  wearer.
• Make sure that the diaper fits well Diapers
  need to fit snugly around the legs of the wearer.
  If the tape or elastic of the diaper is loose
  and does not fit well, it can leave gaps near the
  nether regions, legs or waist. This gives room
  for leaks. Likewise, if the diaper fits too
  tight, it cannot provide enough coverage or have
  adequate space to absorb the flow of urine. This
  results in leaks and stains on the wearers
  clothing. Properly fitting disposable adult
  diapers are those which do not restrict any
  movements and embrace the contours of the
  patients body. A secure fit contains the
  outflows without any mess. Caretakers must choose
  the correct diaper size from the varying size
  ranges available. A compactly fitted diaper can
  trap and absorb the patients discharge for long
  hours.
• Change diapers periodically Although overnight
  diapers for adults are have enhanced absorbency
  for long hours, not changing them from time to
  time can result in leakage. Wearing a diaper for
  too long can bring about painful skin rashes,
  bad odour and leaks due to soiling. Along with
  the purchase of adults diapers, caretakers
  should also buy underpads to keep the patients
  clothes and bedcovers dry and secure. These can
  be washed and reused several times and are
  equipped with anti-leak materials that prevent
  leaks on other surfaces.
• There are multiple brands of diapers and other
  incontinence products in the market today. While
  some users prefer the natural fit of a specially
  designed diaper, others may not be comfortable
  with it. Caretakers must choose a size and style
  that is most comfortable for the wearer. However,
  if leaks persists, it is best to switch brands
  and buy a more long-lasting, absorbent overnight
  diaper for adults. With a bit of research and
  careful selection, it is easy to find a
  well-fitting incontinence product that keeps away
  soiling and leakage.
