The Rothwell scale, or Rothwell system, or Rothwell method, applied to incontinence care products, is a scale that shows how absorbent a particular incontinence pad or adult diaper is, and how much liquid it can absorb and hold before it is likely to leak due to overfill.
Plastic pants. Plastic pants (also known as waterproof pants, plastic panties, diaper covers, nappy covers, dry joggers, nappy wraps, wraps, or pilchers) are garments worn over a diaper to prevent liquid or solid waste from leaking through the fabric.

Cloth diapers are in contrast to disposable diapers, made from synthetic fibers and plastics.
Disposable diaper producers also were early to convert to fluff pulp because of its low cost and high absorbency. Normal usage of fluff pulp in a diaper was about 55 percent. In the 1980s started the commercialization of air-laid paper , which gave better bulk, porosity, strength, softness, and water absorption properties compared with normal ...
The padding was originally similar to what had been used for disposable baby diapers like Huggies. In 1988, all Depend products began to use an Absorb-Lock core which turns to a gel when wet as baby diapers began using this as well. In 1992, Depend Briefs were made in two different absorbencies, regular and overnight.
Oji Nepia’s infant diaper production has fallen by 300 million units—about half its supply—since its 2001 peak. Japan’s population is getting so old that a diaper manufacturer is only ...
Incontinence underwear products are generally designed to cater for light bladder leakage (LBL), and as such have lower absorbency capabilities than high absorbency pads and diapers. Some manufacturers of disposable products are responding to the changing market dynamics by introducing disposable incontinence underwear that gives the appearance ...
