Tranquility Air-Plus Bariatric Disposable Adult Briefs with Tabs, Maximum Absorbency FAQs

Who are these bariatric briefs best suited for?

These briefs are designed for individuals with waist sizes between 64 and 96 inches who experience heavy to severe urinary or bowel incontinence. They are especially helpful for those with limited mobility or those who prefer the adjustable fit of a tab-style brief.

How do I put on a tab-style brief?

Lay the brief flat and position it under or against your body. Pull the micro-hook closure tabs around to the front and fasten snugly against the landing zone. The tabs are refastenable, so you can adjust the fit as needed for comfort without replacing the product.

What is the difference between tab-style briefs and pull-up underwear?

Tab-style briefs have refastenable tabs that wrap around the waist for a secure, adjustable fit and are easier to put on and take off for individuals with limited mobility or those requiring caregiver assistance. Pull-up underwear is worn like regular underwear and is better suited for more active individuals who can manage changes independently.

How much fluid can these briefs hold?

The premium superabsorbent core holds and locks in up to 34 oz (1005 mL) of fluid. The re-shaped core extends over the hips for full front and back coverage and is designed so that fluid will not be squeezed out during sitting, standing, or movement.

How do the micro-hook closure tabs work?

The micro-hook closure tabs work similarly to hook-and-loop fasteners like Velcro. They can be opened and re-closed multiple times, making it easy to adjust the fit or check for changes without replacing the brief.

How does the wetness indicator work?

The yellow lines on the wetness indicator turn blue when moisture is present. A change is needed when the line is solid blue up to two fingers from the front or back of the brief.

Are these briefs safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The Air-Plus breathable technology helps reduce heat and moisture buildup that can cause skin irritation, the clothlike material is soft and gentle against the skin, and these briefs are not made with natural rubber latex.

Size Guide

Choosing the correct incontinence product size is not like choosing a clothing size. You'll need to measure both waist and hip size, and then use the larger of the two numbers when referencing a sizing guide.

When measuring yourself to determine what size product you may need, it's important to measure the widest part of your body between your waist and your hips. Fitting that measurement will give you a good place to start. Remember when fitting products that leg openings should be snug-fitting with no gaps. If using a tape-tab style product, tapes should land halfway between the belly button and the hips.
