Who tape-style adult diapers are for

Adult diaper tape style, also called open-type or velcro adult diapers, is worn like a baby diaper, with tabs on each side that fasten at the waist. This design is easiest for people who spend most of the day in bed or a chair, because a caregiver can change the diaper without the wearer standing. It also suits people who need a precise, adjustable fit.

Tape style or pants style?

Tape style is better for bedridden wearers, caregivers and anyone who needs help changing. If the wearer can stand and walk, adult diaper pants are easier to put on and take off independently.

What to look for in a tape-style adult diaper

• Tabs: adjustable tabs let you tighten or loosen the fit and refasten if needed.
• Absorbency: choose higher absorbency for long hours or sleep.
• Leg cuffs: snug cuffs reduce side leaks.
• Comfort: a soft, breathable outer layer helps keep skin dry.

How to choose the right size

Measure around the waist and hips and pick the size that matches the larger number. Check our adult diaper size chart for waist and weight ranges in cm, inches and kg. Between two sizes, choose the smaller for a snug fit and fewer leaks.
