Female diapers are generally referred to by several names, depending on the brand and specific design. Common terms include adult diapers, adult briefs, protective underwear, incontinence pads, and pull-ups.
While the term "diapers" is frequently used, manufacturers often use softer or more descriptive terms to market these products. Here's a breakdown:
-
Adult Diapers/Adult Briefs: These terms are broad and widely used to describe absorbent garments designed for adults experiencing incontinence.
-
Protective Underwear: This term emphasizes the garment's function of providing protection against leaks and accidents.
-
Incontinence Pads: While technically not diapers, these absorbent pads are often used as a lighter form of protection and can be used inside regular underwear.
-
Pull-Ups: Similar in design to regular underwear, pull-ups offer a more discreet and independent option for those with mild to moderate incontinence.
It's important to note that while some products may be marketed specifically towards women (with features like contoured shapes or feminine designs), the general terms for absorbent incontinence products apply to both men and women. The best term to use often depends on the specific product type and personal preference.
