How to Select Adult Diapers for Travel?

The joy and delight you feel when you travel with your family and friends are incomparable! And the travel itself will become moments you will cherish in your heart forever. You will look back at these days and tell everyone stories about it for the rest of the month (and we never get tired of hearing it again and again from you!)  

But incontinence, and the constant fear of embarrassment that comes with it, can ruin these special days for you. You might not even be willing to step out of your house and wish everyone else a safe and happy journey as you watch them leave.  

But why? Wouldn’t you have loved the day out with them? Don’t let incontinence take control of your life when you can easily take it back. Adult diapers can help you get back the azadi you lost to incontinence.  

Types of incontinence 

Incontinence is a very common condition among people in India, but since it’s very private and often embarrassing for the person, not everybody discusses it or seeks help for it.  

There are two main types of incontinence: 

Urinary incontinence, or the loss of control over your bladder. People with urinary incontinence suffer from involuntary leakage of urine on a daily basis. 

Bowel incontinence, or the loss of control over your bowel. People with bowel incontinence suffer from inability to control their bowel movements and release faces involuntarily.  

But no matter the type, incontinence disrupts the person’s quality of life. Since individuals don’t seek help and support, they watch as everything that was once easy slip away.   

How can adult diapers help? 

The entire purpose of adult diapers is to provide protection and comfort for people suffering from incontinence. They give you the freedom to enjoy life without worrying about leaks or the need to go to the bathroom frequently.  

But there’s a lot of shame surrounding wearing adult diapers; it is considered unseemly and disgraceful. But adult diapers are simply products made to improve the quality of your life, just like spectacles are made to improve your vision. If there’s nothing shameful about wearing glasses, why shouldn’t it be the same for diapers?

Benefits of wearing adult diapers while traveling

Adult diapers offer a range of benefits while traveling, enhancing your journey in multiple ways:

• Greater freedom: Adult diapers give you the freedom to travel and enjoy your trip without the constant need to find restrooms

• Extended comfort: Adult diapers specifically designed for extended use ensure you stay comfortable during long journeys and sightseeing, minimizing interruptions

• Peace of mind: Wearing adult diapers gives you the peace of mind you need, knowing you're well-prepared to handle any incontinence-related situations that might arise on your travels

How to pick a diaper for traveling?  

Travelling can be a source of great stress for people who are incontinent. Long trips in vehicles, traffic jams, lack of toilet facilities, lack of incontinence supplies, etc. are just some things that can make an otherwise happy time with their family into an embarrassing situation.  

The diaper you choose must be the best in: 

• Absorbency: Pick a diaper with a high absorbency level to ensure you will not have to change it frequently during your trip. 

• Fit: Make sure the diaper fits you well to prevent any leakage and ensure maximum comfort while traveling.  

• Ease of use: Look for diapers that are easy to change and dispose of as changing diapers can be hard and time consuming when you are on the move. We recommend pant-style diapers or diaper pants over taped diapers for their ease of use and convenience.  

• Comfort: Look for diapers that are made with soft and breathable materials to avoid skin irritation and rashes from longer periods of use. 

One other important thing you must consider is your: 

• Travel period: Probably the most important factor to consider when you are packing diapers for your trip. For instance: If it’s a 6-hour overnight travel in a train, pick a diaper that can last you through that travel period. If it’s a 24-hour travel, pick a diaper that has the highest level of absorbency and doesn’t require frequent changes, and so on.   

The best diaper for traveling: Friends! 

Ultimately, the diaper you pick will depend on the length of your travel and the availability of private and clean places that allows for a diaper change.  

But for the longest travel period, always pick: Friends Premium Adult Dry Pants. They are: 

• Made with a super absorbent core and a rapid absorption layer to provide up to 12 hours of protection against leakage and moisture.

Oh wait, we promised you a story. Lisa Nowak, a NASA astronaut, made headlines in 2007 when she drove over 1,450 km to attack (and probably kill) her romantic rival called Colleen Shipman out of jealousy of her former lover. What made this story even more bizarre was that the police reported Nowak had used diapers to avoid bathroom breaks during her long drive and give her undivided attention to the ‘mission’ at hand. Crazy, right?

Now we’ll take our leave. Thank you, and Azadi Mubarak!
