Four eras experienced by adult diapers
The growth of adult diapers is related to the background of the times and technological progress. Its development process has roughly experienced four eras: the initial era, the era of technological transformation, the era of independent excretion, and the era of diversified products. The author will give you a specific introduction below. 1. Early era Before the advent of diapers, most of the waste fabrics were used as diapers, that is, the era when cloth and diaper cover were used at the same time. In the 1960s, overlapped use of toilet paper began to appear, that is, the initial paper diapers. 15-20 sheets of toilet paper were overlapped into diapers and used at the same time as the diaper cover. The sales target was mainly hospitals. From this, they began to gradually switch from cloth diapers to paper diapers. The shape of the diaper is rectangular, and it also uses a diaper cover like cloth diapers, which is a flat type. Since the 1970s, there has been a material conversion and toilet paper has been converted to fluff pulp. At that time, the price of toilet paper soared several times, resulting in insufficient materials and unsustainable production. Compared with toilet paper, fluff pulp has the advantage of being cheaper, but it also has water absorption. Problems such as poor performance and pulp offset in diapers were later resolved through technical improvements. On the other hand, the water storage capacity of fluff pulp is higher than that of toilet paper, the absorption capacity of a single diaper is greater, and the number of sheets used in the diaper is reduced. But cloth diapers are still used in this era. Second, the era of technological transformation After entering the 1980s, with the use of high-absorbent resin (SAP), the urine absorption capacity of diapers has a breakthrough increase. Just use 1 piece of diaper each time, and it has the performance beyond cloth diapers for the first time. At the same time, adhesive-type paper diapers appeared as an integrated design for the waterproof membrane of the diaper cover. Just fix the tape around the waist and use it. Most bedridden elderly people choose this type. 三. The era of independent excretion In 1994, panty-type diapers for independent excretion appeared. The previous diapers were based on the nursing service of the caregiver, and did not consider the needs of the caretaker to wear independently. This panty-type diaper can be pulled up and down by itself, making it easier for the elderly to excrete independently. 4. In the era of diversified products, adult diapers have a variety of products suitable for the elderly, including flat type, adhesive type, underwear type, etc., and these products are used at the same time, and are specially designed for urine absorption performance. Various types of products have also been developed, such as men's and women's, as well as liners for underwear, etc. They are even divided into mild incontinence and large liners according to the occasion of use, which can be selected according to the user's situation. These diaper liners can be used together with tape-type and panty-type diapers. You only need to replace the liner after urination. The price is also cheaper than tape-type and panty-type diapers. It not only has economical features, but also There is a reduction in the workload of nursing care due to easy replacement. The above is about the four eras of adult diapers. I hope it can help everyone. In the future, diapers will be more and more accepted by people because of their convenient features. Author:
