Infants and most young children still do not know how to control their bladders and bowel movement; hence they have to wear diapers. Diapers, especially disposable ones, allow for easy clean up when a child urinates or defecates. Their parents also do not have to worry if their kids make it to the bathroom in time. Diapers allow children to do these things discreetly. However, children are not the only ones who have bladder and bowel issues. A lot of adults are incontinent, especially those who have underlying illnesses. Some degenerating diseases affect a person's excretory system, rendering him unable to control his urination and defecation. Incontinent adults may need to wear diapers too. In cases like these, it is helpful if a person wears a sex-specific diaper, for more comfort and convenience. Adult males, for example, can wear TENA for men. For incontinent adults, wearing adult diapers can offer some benefits. One is disposability and easy cleanup; with this, people who are caring for incontinent loved ones can have an easier time. Adult diapers are also designed to be less noisy. Embarrassment is one of the reasons why some adults do not want to wear diapers. Since some of these diapers are made to be less noisy, adults can wear them without having to feel anxious; they can have more confidence. Like children's diapers, adult diapers like TENA overnight pads are made to have good absorption to avoid the excretions and odors from leaking. This provides adequate protection. This is important since adults have more activities than children. They may also have busier lifestyles. There may be times when a person cannot change his diapers immediately, so maximum protection is needed. Similar to children, adults also need protection while they are sleeping. Since a sleeping person wears his diapers for hours, there is a possibility that his skin gets irritated. With this, there are adult diapers that have hypoallergenic qualities to prevent discomfort. Most overnight pads are designed to give more protection. Adult diapers are also designed to be easy to put on and remove. They may also have indicators to signal the wearer if the diaper is already full. 2011-11-29
