Troubleshooting

Brief feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the refastenable tabs. If still uncomfortable, re-measure waist and hip circumference to ensure the correct size is being used.

Skin irritation or rash.

Ensure skin is clean and completely dry before applying a new brief. Check that the brief is not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Consider using a barrier cream if irritation persists.

Leaks occurring.

Verify the brief is applied correctly and fits snugly around the legs and waist. Ensure the absorbency level is appropriate for the user's needs; consider a higher absorbency product if leaks persist.

Odor is noticeable.

While the briefs have odor control, frequent changes are recommended, especially after bowel movements. Ensure the correct size is used and the brief is adequately secured.
