Aside from absorbency, comfort is a crucial factor when it comes to wearing incontinence protection. During the summer months, temperatures increase, people get sweatier, and adult diapers become more uncomfortable.
A great way to stay cool during the warmer climates while managing incontinence is by wearing breathable adult diapers. Unlike plastic back diapers, breathable briefs have a cloth-like outer cover and/or side panels that allow for increased airflow. This decreases risks for diaper rashes and keeps your skin cool when it’s hot outside. Cloth-like diapers are also generally quieter and thinner than plastic briefs, making them more discreet.
Below are some of the more popular cloth-like diapers that provide both comfort and exceptional absorbency:
-
Attends Breathable Briefs– Attends Breathables are available in two absorbency levels, Regular and Extra Absorbent. Both types have a cloth-like exterior and side panels to provide more comfort and confidence for the wearer. These briefs use Flex-Tabs that won’t stick to skin and will continue to work even if they come in contact with creams and ointments.
-
Tena Stretch Briefs – These briefs have breathable, stretchy sides that provide the perfect fit and comfort. Tena briefs use super absorbent polymer micro-beads that quickly lock moisture and control odors. Tena Stretch comes in two absorbencies, Ultra and Super.
-
Tranquility SlimLine Breathable Briefs – Tranquility diapers have a peach mat core that effectively absorbs a high volume of urine, while reducing odors and inhibiting bacterial growth. The Tranquility SlimLine is a thin, fitted diaper that won’t rustle under clothing.
-
Abena Abri-Form AirPlus – Abena briefs are one of the most absorbent adult diapers on the market. Ideal for heavy incontinence and overnight protection, these briefs don’t have to be changed every three hours. The Abena Abri-Form is thicker than most briefs due to its high absorbency (and low leakage!) capabilities.
-
Medline Comfort Aire Briefs – These breathable diapers have a triple absorbent core that helps keep skin dry and healthy. The extra-wide “grab anywhere” tabs provide a secure fit to reduce diaper leakage.
