Tranquility SmartCore Adult Disposable Briefs with Tabs, Maximum Absorbency FAQs

Who are these briefs best suited for?

SmartCore Briefs are designed for individuals who need heavy protection from incontinence, those with limited mobility or who are bed-bound, and those who receive caregiver-assisted changes. They are also a solid choice for anyone looking for reliable overnight protection with a secure, adjustable fit.

How do I put on and use these briefs?

Position the brief under or against your body, then pull the micro-hook closure tabs around to the front and fasten snugly. The tabs are refastenable so you can adjust the fit or check for changes without replacing the brief. Change as needed and dispose of the brief after use.

How do the micro-hook closure tabs work?

The micro-hook closure tabs function similarly to hook-and-loop fasteners like Velcro. Unlike standard tape tabs, they can be opened and re-closed multiple times, making it easy to adjust the fit throughout the day or check for changes without replacing the product.

If these briefs have breathable sides, will they leak?

No. When properly fitted, these briefs should not leak. Breathable sides are designed to allow air to circulate and heat and humidity to escape, but they are constructed to prevent moisture from passing through. Always make sure leg openings fit snugly with no gaps for the best protection.

How much fluid can these briefs hold?

Capacity is size-dependent. Small holds up to 22 oz (650 mL), Medium holds up to 28 oz (828 mL), and Large through 2XL hold up to 34 oz (1005 mL). Fluid stays locked in the core and will not be squeezed out 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.

What is a clothlike backsheet?

A clothlike backsheet is a soft, non-woven material on the outside of the brief that is gentle against the skin and reduces noise during movement — as opposed to a plastic or poly-backed material which can be louder and less comfortable against the skin.

Are these briefs safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The clothlike material is soft and gentle against the skin, breathable sides help reduce heat and moisture buildup, 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.
