A Guide to Kids' Pull-Ups

For children who experience incontinence, finding the right pull-up is essential for maintaining their comfort, dignity, and confidence. Whether your child experiences daytime accidents, bedwetting, or other forms of incontinence, selecting the right product can make a significant difference in their daily life.

But with so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to determine which pull-ups will provide the necessary protection for your child.

We’ve created this guide to provide you with all the information you need to choose the right pull-up for your child’s specific needs, from size and absorbency to comfort and discretion. With this guide, you can feel confident that you're making the right choice for your child's incontinence management.

Pull-ups for younger kids are designed for smaller body sizes and range from sizes 2T- Youth Large. These pull-ups come in unisex, and boys’ and girls’ designs. While they’re similar in appearance to real underwear, they have an absorbent pad in their core that captures urinary and fecal leakage. Kids’ pull-ups are designed with an elastic waist that can be easily pulled up or down, making changing convenient for younger children who are learning to use the toilet.

Pull-ups for older kids are also called youth pull-ups or youth training pants. These training pants use an elastic waistband for easy changes and look like real boys’ and girls’ underwear. Sizes range from Youth Small- Youth Extra Large. Older kids’ pull-ups are an excellent choice for older children who are potty training or who have incontinence due to a disability or medical condition.

Pull-ups offer several features that make them convenient and easy to use for both caregivers and children.

We carry a variety of different pull-ups that may suit your child's needs. Our pull-ups are made by name-brand companies and level up to the most popular pull-ups.

If you’re a caregiver of a child who experiences incontinence, you might face significant financial burdens associated with purchasing necessary products like pull-ups. These costs can quickly add up, particularly for families on a tight budget.

However, with Aeroflow Urology, your child with special needs or a certain medical condition may qualify to get their pull-ups free* through Medicaid or other Medicaid managed care plans. 

To find out if your child qualifies, fill out our Eligibility Form! It takes 5 minutes, and we’ll reach out to you within 1-2 business days to tell you about your loved one’s coverage. While most state Medicaid plans cover pediatric incontinence products, your child’s eligibility will be determined by the state they live in, their diagnosis, and their insurance plan.

If your child qualifies, we will...

• Send your child free pull-up samples so you know you’re getting the correct product for your child’s unique needs.
• Help you easily navigate and understand your loved one’s insurance coverage.
• Ship your child’s supplies for free in unmarked boxes.
