Adult Incontinence Products: Which Sizes Are Most Commonly Used in Nursing Homes?
Tape Style Adult Diapers Are the Main Product
Most residents in nursing homes are bedridden or have limited mobility and need caregivers to help with changes. Therefore, tapestyle Adult Diapers have the highest usage volume. Common sizes:
Size M: Waist 70 -100 cm, suitable for smaller built residents.
Size L: Waist 90-120 cm, the most commonly used size – accounts for about 50% of purchases.
Size XL: Waist 110-150 cm, used for obese residents or those with edema.
For absorbency, nursing homes use standard absorbency (800-1500 ml) during the day and heavy absorbency (2000 -3000 ml) at night. One overnight Adult Diaper can last 68 hours, reducing the number of nighttime changes and easing the burden on caregivers.
Adult Pull Up Pants Are for Mobile Residents
Some residents can still get out of bed and use the toilet by themselves. They need Adult Pull Up Pants, which they can put on and take off like regular underwear. Common sizes are also M, L, and XL. Absorbency is lower than tape style diapers (500-1000 ml), sufficient for daytime use. Pull up pants have tear away sides – when soiled, they can be removed without taking off the user's pants.
⭐ Underpads (Bed Pads) Are an Essential Supplement
Almost every nursing home purchases disposable underpads to place on beds, preventing sheets from being soiled by urine or feces. Common sizes: 60 cm × 60 cm, 60 cm × 90 cm. Underpads are used together with diapers – even if the diaper leaks, the mattress stays clean, significantly reducing laundry costs.
Light Incontinence Pads Are for Mild Leakage
Some residents only leak a few drops of urine when coughing or sneezing and do not need a full diaper. They use light incontinence pads, which are attached to regular underwear like sanitary napkins, with an absorbency of 100-300 ml. These pads are thin and allow residents to move freely.
Typical Combination for Nursing Home Procurement
Per bedridden resident per day: 4-5 standard absorbency Adult Diapers during the day, 1 heavy absorbency diaper at night, plus 1 underpads.
Per mobile resident per day: 3-4 Adult Pull Up Pants during the day (tape style or pull ups can be used at night).
