The One-Piece Underwear is normally used for patients who may try to remove their incontinence pad. You may have heard these referred to as ‘onesies’. This may be either during the day or when in bed. They are also used for some people who may undress themselves. They can be used either as underwear under their daytime clothes or as pyjamas during the night.
About the One Piece Underwear
The fabric is designed to help the skin breathe and reduce perspiration during hot weather. The leg openings should be a comfortable fit around the calf. The person should not be able to pull the leg openings up high over the thigh so they can pull the incontinence pad out. The neck is re-enforced to prevent stretching, so the top cannot be pulled off the shoulders. On the back there is a special Hook & Loop Tape fastening as well as a zip, to reduce the possibility of someone undoing the zip.
Also consider the One Piece Underwear with Leg Zip. This product has the zip opening inside the legs, rather than at the back. The Carer can undo the Leg Zip to access the incontinence pad, making it easier to change soiled pads.
