The super-absorbent fabric used in disposable diapers, which can hold up to 400 times its weight, was developed so Apollo astronauts could stay on spacewalks and extra-vehicular activity for at least six hours. (wikipedia.org)
I understand that they're disposable, but when I put the extra long pads you're supposed to wear during recovery, I found that they stuck so strongly to the underwear that when I went to change the pad, the whole underwear would rip. (target.com)
Pads2
Adult diapers are made in various forms, including those resembling traditional child diapers, underpants, and pads resembling sanitary napkins (known as incontinence pads). (wikipedia.org)
Absorbent incontinence products come in a wide range of types (drip collectors, pads, underwear and adult diapers), each with varying capacities and sizes. (wikipedia.org)
Specialty1
Specialty diapers are required for swimming or pool therapy. (wikipedia.org)
Significantly1
Public awareness of astronaut diapers rose significantly following the arrest of Lisa Nowak, a NASA astronaut charged with attempted murder, who gained notoriety in the media when the police reported she had driven 900 miles, with an adult diaper so she would not have to stop to urinate. (wikipedia.org)
Healthy2
Although donning a diaper to decrease the number of bathroom stops is not something you or I would think to do, otherwise healthy adults do wear diapers more often than we realize for good reasons. (wikipedia.org)
Forty-eight children with healthy skin and 28 with diaper dermatitis were analysed. (medscape.com)
Dress2
Future wore dress shorts and a very elaborate face mask, and it somehow works! (wmmr.com)
Mom had me wear a cloth diaper and rubberpants under my poofy dress! (healthyplace.com)
Brands3
The largest volume of products that is consumed falls into the lower absorbency range of products, and even when it comes to adult diapers, the cheapest and least absorbent brands are used the most. (wikipedia.org)
This is not because people choose to use the cheapest and least absorbent brands, but rather because medical facilities are the largest consumer of adult diapers, and they have requirements to change patients as often as every two hours. (wikipedia.org)
A total of 6 women and 3 men with hand eczema were found to be allergic to (preservatives found in) different brands of moist towelettes used in diaper hygiene. (medscape.com)
