How will the product be changed?
Tab-style adult nappies open at the sides. Pull-up pants go on like underwear. Consider where changes happen, how clothing is managed and whether one person can assist safely.
What can your parent manage?
Talk about the parts of toileting your parent can still do themselves. The most helpful product is one that works with their abilities and the support available, rather than one chosen only by age.
Check the actual pack
Compare the stated waist or hip range, absorbency description and pack quantity. Do not assume that two brands use “large” or “normal” to mean the same thing.
Ask when you are unsure
A nurse or continence professional can help assess complex needs. Once an option works, keep its exact details in your care list so it is easier to reorder.
