Currently in the U.S. over 19 million people have some form of incontinence, with about 85% of them being women. Incontinence is a common condition that can sometimes be cured by medication or surgery; however for those who unwilling to undergo intrusive procedures, the option of adult incontinence products remains. An adult diaper/ nappy classified under one of the incontinence care products is meant to be worn by person suffering from various conditions such as severe diarrhea, mobility impairment, incontinence, or dementia. Adult Diapers consist of an absorbent pad inserted between two non-woven fabric structures. This helps in preventing the leakage, maintain the body fluid level and improve comfort.
