How to Use Depends

Depends are an absorbent undergarment worn by people with bladder problems who cannot control their urination. Thankfully, products exist to help adults stay dry and go about their daily lives without worrying about accidental leaking. Knowing and understanding how to use Depends can help those who need a little extra help when the bladder shows signs of aging or other health issues. Depends are fairly comfortable and will not show through clothing if used correctly.

Instructions

• 1

  Use the pads for mild urination problems. The pads are thicker than a liner and each size has a different thickness. Most pads can be inserted into the underpants, between the legs.

• 2

  Use the liners for protection, just in case. The liners have a sticky tape that attaches to the underpants and are similar to panty liners women wear for light days of their menstrual cycles.

• 3

  Use the briefs as an undergarment instead of your regular underwear. These briefs have tape tabs on each side so you can fasten them for a snug fit. For those who do not want to use liners or pads, the briefs are just what they need.

• 4

  Use the belted shields in your underwear for extra protection. These shields have an absorbent center with a belt that fits snuggly around the waist.

• 5

  Use the pull-ups for incontinence. The pull-ups act as an undergarment so underpants are not needed. These pull-ups have elastic legs and fit snuggly.
