However, finding the perfect adult diaper is not always easy. That's why we’ve created this guide to help.
Whether you’re searching for a diaper for your elderly loved one or for yourself, this guide can help. We’ll look at different types of adult diapers that may be free* through your insurance plan. We’ll also discuss which ones provide the best leakage protection without feeling uncomfortable or bulky.
What Are Adult Diapers for Seniors?
Seniors’ diapers, also called adult briefs, are incontinence products that are designed with maximum absorbency to protect against urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence. They’re best suited for seniors with heavy to severe leakage.
Seniors' Diaper Features
Size Choice
Size Choice
Sizing is crucial when choosing an adult diaper for your elderly loved one. The wrong size diaper can cause diaper rash, leakage, or bulkiness.
Our Adult Diaper Sizes:
- Small
- Medium
- Large
- XL
- 2XL
- 3XL
Each size of our adult diapers come with the absorbency level you choose; the absorbency level does not decrease when you drop a size, nor does it increase when you go up a size.
To find your adult diaper size, use our sizing chart.
