Tranquility SlimLine Disposable Adult Disposable Brief with Tabs, Heavy Absorbency FAQs

What makes SlimLine Briefs different from other tab-style briefs?

SlimLine Briefs are designed with a slimmer, more contoured profile that conforms more closely to the body than typical disposable garments. This makes them a great choice for individuals who want reliable protection without the bulk, particularly those who are more active or prefer a more discreet fit.

What is the difference between the clothlike and plastic-backed sizes?

Youth, X-Small, and Small sizes are made with a soft clothlike material that is gentle against the skin and quiet during movement. Medium, Large, and X-Large sizes use a familiar plastic-backed material. Both options feature a moisture-proof barrier to prevent fluid from leaking through.

How do I put on a tab-style brief?

Position the brief under or against your body, then pull the tabs around to the front and fasten snugly. Youth and X-Small sizes use micro-hook closure tabs similar to Velcro, while Small through X-Large sizes use a two-part refastenable tape tab system. Both can be opened and re-closed for adjustments throughout the day.

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?

Capacity is size-dependent, ranging from 10.2 oz (1.2 cups) for the Youth size up to 23.7 oz (2.9 cups) for X-Large. The superabsorbent core locks in fluid and extends over the hips for full front and back coverage, so it stays contained even during movement.

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. Both material options are gentle against the skin, and these briefs are not made with natural rubber latex. The clothlike sizes are especially soft and quiet, making them a comfortable choice for individuals with sensitive skin.

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.
