3 Signs You’re Using the Wrong Diaper Size

3 Signs You’re Using the Wrong Diaper Size

Finding the right adult diaper size isn’t just about comfort — it’s essential for confidence, skin health, and leak protection. Using the wrong size can lead to discomfort, leaks, and even skin irritation. Here are three key signs it might be time to check your fit:

1. Frequent Leaks or Accidents

If you notice leaks even after changing regularly, your diaper may be too small or not absorbent enough. Adding a booster liner, such as Tranquility Top Liners, can increase absorbency and help prevent leaks without changing your current diaper size.

For extra protection, you can also consider a more advanced absorbent product like TENA Stretch Super Briefs to keep you dry and secure throughout the day or night.

 

2. Red Marks or Skin Irritation

Diapers that are too tight can leave red marks, cause chafing, or irritate sensitive skin. If you’re unsure of your size, try the Prevail Air Plus Briefs or Prevail Air Overnight Stretchable Briefs.

These briefs have a longer tab, allowing a better fit for different body types and helping prevent skin irritation.

 

3. Difficulty Moving or Discomfort

If your diaper feels restrictive, bunches up, or causes discomfort when walking, sitting, or bending, it may be the wrong size or style for your needs. The right product should move with you — not against you.

Consider switching to Attends Stretch Briefs designed with flexible side panels and soft, breathable materials for all-day comfort. These diapers provide a secure fit that adapts to body movement, helping you stay active and confident

Pro Tip: Check the sizing chart of your preferred brand and consider trying a new size if you notice any of these signs.
