Release time:2023-02-28
When it comes to diapers, many people instinctively think of babies, but now there are also many adults who use diapers, and the sales of adult diapers even exceeded that of baby diapers at one point. At present, the number of elderly people aged 65 and above in China who need long-term care reaches 37.5 million, and there are about 2 million paralyzed and semi paralyzed patients under the age of 65. In addition to other incontinence patients, it is conservatively estimated that the total number of disabled elderly people in China who need to use adult incontinence products is nearly 40 million. As a high incidence population of diseases, the demand for incontinence products will continue to increase in the future.
There are many benefits to using adult diapers. For example, many elderly people are afraid to go out due to mild incontinence, worried about leaking urine, and also want to find a restroom when going out, which always affects their mood when going out. If paired with underwear diapers as a safety measure, you can confidently walk out of the house without being seen by others. Don't be too relaxed.
Elderly people with severe disability who have care at home are unable to use the restroom independently, which is very inconvenient and troublesome for their families. Wearing adult diapers not only ensures cleanliness, comfort, and freshness, but also reduces the burden on nursing staff.
There are mainly two types of diapers: underwear type and waist patch type, and the suitable types of diapers vary depending on whether patients can replace themselves or whether they are bedridden.
1. Underpants shape
(1) Able to walk
(2) With the help of someone, you can stand and walk. These two types of people are suitable for underwear types
2. Waist fit
(1) Unable to stand on their own, walking
(2) People who stay in bed for a long time are more suitable for waist fitting
Adult diapers are mainly selected based on the user's physical condition, such as whether they can go to the bathroom alone, whether they urinate more or less, whether they frequently change their diapers, and whether they are used during the day or night. Only by considering the patient's physical condition, urine volume, and time period can a more suitable combination be found.
