Adult Diapers

7+ Best Adult Briefs

The older we get, the likelihood of experiencing incontinence increases. Unfortunately, women can be affected twice as much as men. According to several studies, as many as 6 out of 10 middle-aged or older women report having any incontinence, while as many as two women experience incontinence daily. Compare this to approximately 4 out of 10 older men reporting any incontinence, with only one reporting daily incontinence. Adult briefs can help us deal with this growing problem as we age.  

The Best Incontinence Briefs 

With all the different brands available to consumers today, what is the best option for your lifestyle? A brief is a garment that differs slightly from a pull-up in that it has tabs on the side where a pull-up slides on like conventional underwear. The benefit of briefs is that there are more options than a typical pull-up. Some of these options are:  

1. Overnight briefs for Incontinence 

Overnight briefs can be more absorbent but also bulky. Someone who might need the extra absorbency may choose to wear this during the daytime.  

The Tranquility Overnight Disposable Brief gives you peace of mind and uninterrupted sleep. It is highly absorbent and prevents leaks for protecting the clothes and sheets. The leg cuffs consist of kufguards that channel the liquid to the core and protect during high-volume urine and bowel voids. 

2. Daytime Adult Diaper Briefs  

Typically worn during the daytime, and are a little less absorbent to be inconspicuous under our clothing. These can be labeled heavy to light for absorbency so you can choose which fits your need.  

One option is the Tranquility Premium DayTime Disposable Absorbent Underwear which provides an improved fit and better performance. It provides discreet daytime protection for active individuals with heavier urine voids. The briefs are breathable and allow air to circulate around the body, keeping the skin dry and promoting skin wellness.  

3. Incontinence Briefs with Cloth-Like Backing   

There are several briefs with cloth backing available. They are less noisy than briefs which have a plastic backing. These briefs have a cloth-like outer cover that is comfortable and gentle against the skin. The soft, non-woven back sheet is less noisy under everyday clothing.  

They feel like regular underwear and have skin-safe closures with hook and loop tabs for fastening and refastening. Because of the outer cloth-like covering, there is no sticky or wet feeling when the brief is saturated, and the risk of irritation and diaper rashes is minimized. In addition, these adult briefs have more breathable zones due to increased air circulation, and the user stays dry and happy.  

Medline FitRight Plus Cloth-Like Adult Briefs promote a better fit, patient comfort, and dignity. The Silver Series 4D-Core with odor protection helps wick fluid away, thereby promoting dryness and maintaining skin integrity. FitRight Briefs have soft anti-leak guards that help reduce leakage and improve containment. Skin-safe closures help provide secure, safe, and repeated refasten ability. 

4. Beltless Incontinence Undergarments  

They provide maximum discretion along with super absorbency. They are usually preferred to avoid carrying a bulk on them. They offer a moderate level of protection but with exceptional polymer-assisted fluid-retention quality.  

Beltless undergarments are worn in ordinary underwear with mesh or waterproof pants. They adhere to pants with an adhesive strip for secure placement. Some of these can also be used for containment of fecal incontinence.

5. Belted Adult Incontinence Briefs 

They are generally effective for those who prefer moderate to heavy protection. These are ideal products for those who are not comfortable in briefs and do not like the ‘wrap-around’ effect. 

The belted undergarments are modern in style, open from the sides, letting the airflow in and allowing for a lighter experience. They have comfortable, wide reusable straps, and the fitting around the waist is comfortable. Convenient for those who are confined to the bed or would rather change while standing.

The classic belted incontinence briefs have a lower chance of causing irritation due to its traditional cloth-like outer fabric's increased comfort and softness against the skin. Quick absorption of moisture reduces perineal discomfort and irritated skin. 

6. Briefs with Plastic Backing  

Earlier, these were the most popular kind of briefs. These diapers provide maximum protection against wetness, with the plastic keeping the moisture and odor inside. They are comfortable and now available with improved fluid management. They feel soft to the touch and, therefore, are gentle on the skin.

They are designed to provide maximum comfort and are characterized by soft-stretch elastic waist and leg cuffs that protect against leakage. Some of them have wetness indicators that signal a change.

Five tips to wear and maintain the adult briefs  

• If you’re a person who wants the brief to be as discreet as possible, then choose clothing that doesn’t allow the diaper or brief to either jut out or bulge in any way.   
• Always choose diapers that fit snugly around the legs to avoid leakage from the briefs.  
• Always keep a backup of a few diapers with you, as you never know when you might need one.   
• Never use any substitute along with the brief, as it can compromise the integrity and absorbency.   
• Always check the size you choose, as the slightest change in size can affect comfort and result in leakages and rashes.  

Ways to prevent diaper rash  

• Firstly, determine the exact cause of the rash. Rashes can form due to leakage, moisture reduction, tight briefs, etc.  
• Change your briefs carefully and do not make haste, as it can also cause rashes.
• Choose the incontinence right product, as the wrong-fitting product can result in irritation and rashes. 
• Use perineal sprays, creams, and powder that are compatible with the briefs and those that don’t aggravate the inflammation instead. 
• If the problem is for too long and turns painful, then visit a medical professional immediately.  

Briefs or diapers are an essential part of incontinence control. However, choosing the wrong kind of incontinence product can not only result in health issues but also become a reason for embarrassment. So, choose the right incontinence product for easy and safe incontinence control.
