- An adult diaper that is too small or too big will not provide good protection
So to prevent this best that can be done is make sure you choose the right size or a product that fits well
Special note should be made to ensure a snug fit around the thighs
- The other reason is every diaper has a certain capacity, in India adult diapers have capacity ranging from 500ml-700ml in the low quality and up to 2000ml in the high quality. A wide range of these can be found on healthdexter.com
