This makes it fairly comfortabl­e to wear, in contrast to Chinese products, since one might find that the measuremen­ts taken is quite different. This is due to the drastic difference in body structure of the Chinese population.

WHAT IS FRIENDS ADULT DIAPER’S CORE FEATURES?

It is one of the two adult diaper brands which contain anti-bacterial agents. Any diaper comes with 3 layers; outer, middle and inner. Outer layer is breathable, but not hydrophili­c. This prevents moisture and liquids from seething out of the diaper. The reason for a breathable outler layer is to prevent skin anomalies (rashes and infections).

Middle layer contains a gel with cotton. The gel used is a Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP). The cotton is termed as ‘Wood Pulp’. This radiant combinatio­n is used to ensure absorption of excretions which passes through the inner layer.

The inner layer is hydrophili­c and breathable. This makes sure that liquids pass through effortless­ly. Even if the majority of diaper related product use this mixture, Friends has come up with its own unique recipe.

The Super

Absorbent Polymer used is acquired from Sumitomo, Japan; a revered brand in its motherland. The Wood Pulp utilized is directly accumulate­d by Canada.

Utilizing these elements makes sure that the absorption process occurs almost instantly. The most basic Friends product can be used upto 8 hours. The usage potential increases according to the range of the product’s classifica­tion; 8 hours, 12 hours and 18 hours (premium).

Friends adult diapers comes with a unique wetness indicator which notifies users when the diaper needs to be changed. This is an ideal mental relief for diabetic persons, since the restroom schedules are quite unpredicta­ble. There is a colored marking which fades away, or changes color when the diaper is wet or moist, thus giving the signal that it needs to be changed immediatel­y. An elastic layer is incorporat­ed which acts as a leak guard. This prevents the excretion from oozing out of the diaper and eliminates the odor.
