What it is, and who it helps
Adult pull-up pants look and feel like underwear and are easy to put on and take off, which suits people who are mobile but have bladder leaks. They help people go out and live normally with confidence, and are far more discreet than other products.
They come in different absorbencies for light, medium and heavy leaks, and in sizes by waist and hip.
How to choose
- Measure waist and hip and choose the matching size; poor fit leads to leaks.
- Pick the absorbency for the day or night, and consider a higher level for overnight use.
- Look for a breathable outer layer, leak guards around the legs and an odour-control feature.
- Check that they are easy to pull up for someone with stiff hands.
Using it safely
- Change soon after leaks, and wash the skin with a gentle cleanser and dry it before putting on a new one.
- Use a barrier cream if skin is red.
- Talk to a doctor about the cause, since many forms of incontinence can be treated.
Before you buy
How often should pull-ups be changed?
As soon as they are wet or soiled, and at least every few hours. Moisture damages skin.
