Tranquility Essential Breathable Adult Briefs with Tabs, Heavy Absorbency FAQs

Who are these briefs best suited for?

These are designed for individuals managing heavy urinary or bowel incontinence who have limited mobility or prefer the secure, adjustable fit of a tab-style brief. They work well for individuals who require caregiver-assisted changes as well as those who can manage changes independently.

How do I put on a tab-style brief?

Position the brief under or against your body, then pull the refastenable tabs around to the front and fasten snugly. The tabs can be opened and re-closed multiple times, so you can adjust the fit or check for changes without replacing the brief.

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.

Are these briefs suitable for bowel incontinence?

Yes. The Kufguards inner leg cuffs and leg elastics are designed to channel and contain both urine and stool, making these briefs suitable for individuals managing urinary and bowel incontinence.

If these briefs have breathable sides, will they leak?

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

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. The clothlike materials are soft and gentle against the skin, the breathable sides help reduce heat and moisture buildup, and these briefs are latex-free.

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.
