Are adult pull-ups considered diapers?

Adult pull-ups are also referred to as “incontinence underwear” and “incontinence pants.” Adult diapers, meanwhile, can often be called either “incontinence briefs” and “briefs with tabs.”

Are briefs pull-ups or diapers?

Pull-ups are also primarily designed for urine absorption, while diapers are designed with both bladder and bowel (fecal) voids in mind. Briefs, on the other hand, can be changed without having to take off one’s pants (although it’s easiest to put on a new brief and get the best fit while the wearer is lying down).

What age should a child stop wearing pull-ups?
