Incontinence Pull-Ups for Adults & Kids

Pull-ups go on and off like underwear, so they suit people who can stand and still use the toilet. Adult nappies, also called briefs or slips, open with side tabs, which makes them easier to change lying down or with a carer's help. Many pull-ups also have tear-away sides for quick removal.

A pad fits inside your own underwear. A pull-up combines the underwear and absorbent core in one garment. Compare the fit, absorbency and how you prefer to change. For bowel leakage, choose a product labelled for that use. Compare incontinence pads and pants.

For adult pants, measure your waist or the widest part of your hips as directed on the pack. For youth products, check whether the brand sizes by weight or body measurements. Compare your figures with the chart for that exact style. The waist and leg openings should sit comfortably without gaps. See the measuring instructions.

Start with the two size charts. For example, the largest iD Comfy Junior size is listed for 35–55 kg. Adult XS or S pants usually give a waist or hip measurement in centimetres. Match each chart separately, then consider how the leg openings fit and the absorbency needed. Browse pants for older kids and teens.

Change a pull-up straight away after a bowel leak, and when it's wet, as shown by the wetness indicator or your loved one's care plan. Wear time depends on the absorbency, the amount of leakage and the fit, so the capacity on the pack is a guide, not a timer. Staying in a wet product too long can irritate the skin.

Yes, if the product is designed for overnight use and fits comfortably. Check the manufacturer’s night-use guidance and absorbency for that style. Brands use different drop scales. For bedding options, see washable bed pads and mattress protectors.

Many are. Choose a pull-up the manufacturer recommends for faecal incontinence, such as MoliCare Premium Mobile 10 Drops, and change it straight away after a bowel leak to protect the skin. If changes are difficult, a tab-style brief may be easier.

Not an ordinary pad. Its waterproof backing stops fluid reaching the pull-up and can cause leaks. Use a flow-through booster pad made for this, or step up to a higher absorbency. About booster pads →

The most common causes are the wrong size, leg cuffs folded inside, or an absorbency that doesn't match the amount of leakage. See the top 5 causes and fixes →

There’s no set age. If bedwetting is upsetting your child or starts again after a dry spell, speak with your GP. You can read The Royal Children’s Hospital guide to bedwetting or explore our bedwetting guide for families.

They work differently. A heavy disposable usually holds more, while a washable pull-up like the Night n Day Maxi holds 1,000mL and can take a booster insert. Washables suit people who can manage laundry and keep spares. Many people use both: washables at home, disposables for travel or nights out.

NDIS funding depends on your disability-related continence needs and what your plan covers. For Support at Home, ask your provider which continence aids your support plan covers before ordering. See how to order with NDIS funding.
