With the acceleration of global population aging and the growing demand for incontinence care, the adult diaper market continues to expand. Designed specifically for individuals with incontinence, post-surgery recovery patients, and long-term bedridden users, adult diapers not only provide high absorption and protection but also enhance comfort and quality of life through precise structural design. The overall product is composed of multiple components, including the top sheet, absorbent core, leak guard, backsheet, and wetness indicator. Each part has a clear function and works in synergy to deliver efficient absorption, leak prevention, and breathable comfort.
1、Top Sheet: The top sheet is typically made of soft, skin-friendly nonwoven fabric that directly contacts the skin, providing both comfort and liquid guidance. A layer of ADL is often added underneath to quickly disperse liquid and evenly direct it into the absorbent core, enhancing overall absorption efficiency. For long-term bedridden users, skin-friendliness and breathability are particularly important, helping to improve comfort and care safety.
2、Absorbent Core: The absorbent core is the diaper’s key functional layer, composed of fluff pulp and SAP. Fluff pulp rapidly absorbs and channels liquid, while SAP locks in moisture and forms a gel, effectively preventing backflow and keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. The core structure and ratio can be flexibly adjusted to meet light, moderate, or heavy incontinence needs across different markets and user groups.
3、Backsheet: The backsheet provides leak protection and barrier functions and is commonly made of PE film or nonwoven cloth like film. PE film are widely used for their effective leak prevention and cost efficiency but have limited breathability, making them suitable for price-sensitive markets. Nonwoven cloth like film further enhance breathability and softness on top of leak protection, catering to premium markets and long-duration wear, delivering a better user experience.
4、Frontal Tape: The frontal tape is a crucial component that ensures a secure fit around the wearer’s waist and allows easy adjustment and repeated use. Common materials include PP tape, woven fabric tape, and nonwoven tape.
5、Side Tape: As a key part of the waist-fixing system, side tape secure both sides of the diaper and work in conjunction with the frontal tape to ensure a snug fit around the waist and hips, preventing shifting or slipping during turning, movement, or prolonged bed rest, thereby enhancing leak protection. Common materials include PP tape and Velcro-tape.
6、Three-dimensional Best: Leg cuffs are a critical design element, made of hydrophobic non woven and spandex. They closely fit around the thighs to form an effective leak barrier. This structure is especially important for side-lying positions, turning, or movement, ensuring wearer comfort and daily life quality.
7、Wetness Indicator: The wetness indicator helps caregivers identify the optimal time for a diaper change, reducing the need for frequent checks and minimizing prolonged skin contact with urine, which can cause rashes or pressure sores. By maintaining dryness and comfort, it enhances the user’s quality of life and dignity. This feature reflects the product’s human-centered and professional design, strengthening its market competitiveness.
