1. Introduction to adult bibs and bed underpads
1.1 Adult sized bibs
Bibs are not something that can only be used by babies. They should be seen as a useful additional accessory for the elderly and disabled, rather than something that makes them feel ashamed or uncomfortable.
As the population ages, the use of adult sized bibs is becoming more common. Traditionally considered an item for babies and toddlers, bibs are available in adult versions designed not only to prevent food falling off clothing, but also to give the user dignity and comfort.

For women, it is also convenient to use an adult bed underpad when they have heavy periods. With the development of society, the use of adult bed underpads is still more common.

3.1 Waterproof quick absorbent PVC under pad
Waterproof quick absorbent PVC under pads usually have 3 protective layers, the surface layer is usually made of cotton and polyester for softness and comfort, the sandwich layer is absorbent fabric for timely absorption of urine and the bottom layer is a PVC waterproof material.

4. How do I choose the right adult sized bib?
(1) Suitable bib collar size for adults
The tightness of the bib's neckline directly affects the user's experience when wearing the bib. If the neckline is too small, the bib will snag on the neck and cause the user to breathe poorly; if the neckline is too large, too much of the clothing will be exposed and stain prevention will be poor.
(2) Wide shoulder straps and moderate weight
The weight of the adult sized bib affects the comfort level of the user when wearing it. If the bib is too heavy, the pressure on the user's neck will be too great and uncomfortable, and it will damage the user's cervical spine. The wider the shoulder straps, the less pressure you will feel when wearing the bib, so try to choose an adult sized bib with wider straps.
(3) The right size leak-proof slot
The bib should be able to catch food and soup residues that fall out of the user's hands or mouth, so the adult sized bib should have the right depth and size of leak-proof slots. The size of an adult sized bib depends largely on the individual's condition and personal preference. If the bib is long and wide, there will be less food stains on clothing.
(4) Easy to clean
An important reason for using adult sized bibs is that they prevent stains from getting on clothes and they are easier to clean, reducing the stress of washing clothes.
(5) Price of adult sized bibs
Price is also a factor in assessing and choosing the right adult sized bib for use. Before purchasing an adult sized bib, one needs to compare price, materials and value to choose the right product. For organizations and businesses, price is an important factor when buying in large quantities.
(6) Brands of adult sized bibs
There is a wide range of brands of adult sized bibs on the market, which inevitably results in a wide range of quality, and poorly made adult sized bibs will inevitably affect the health of the user. Many bibs are now waterproof and leak-proof, easy to clean and free from harmful substances, so choose a branded adult sized bib with a good reputation that is also practical and comfortable.
5. How to buy the right adult bed underpad?
(1) Choose according to thickness
It is important to pay attention to the thickness of the adult bed underpad. It is best to have a moderate thickness because if the thickness of the adult bed underpad is too thick, it naturally affects the breathability and has an impact on the health of the user; while being too thin affects the ability to absorb water. On balance, the thickness of an under pad consisting of two to three layers of material is most appropriate.
(2) Pick according to size
Theoretically, the larger the size of the pad, the greater the protection offered, even when the user is turning around. Of course, it is also important to take into account the size of the actual bed so that the mat fits more snugly in the bed.
(3) Selection is based on quality certification
As the quality of adult bed underpads currently available on the market varies. Therefore, when buying an adult bed underpad, it is important to check whether the product has a quality and safety certificate or a quality test report. If there is no any relevant certification, there may be potential quality problems and it is advisable not to buy it so that the health of the user is not affected by using a poor quality product. Look carefully at every aspect of the workmanship of the adult bed underpad, a good adult bed underpad should be excellent in every detail.
(4) Waterproofing of adult bed underpads
It is important that the adult bed underpad is waterproof, if it is not waterproof it will not work. If the pad does not leak after pressing, the pad is considered to be a qualified adult bed underpad.
(5) Breathability of adult bed underpads
When choosing an adult bed underpad, you should also pay attention to whether it is breathable or not. This is very important for adults, especially the elderly, who generally cannot take care of themselves and are bedridden for a long time, if the adult bed underpads used are not breathable, it will easily lead to bed sores for a long time.
(6) Absorbency of adult bed underpads
Most adult bed underpads have a high level of absorbency to prevent leakage. However, to ensure that each individual is provided with the optimum level of absorbency to meet their needs, there are generally several different standard levels of absorbency available for adult bed underpads. When it comes to the actual purchase, the choice needs to be based on the user's physical condition. For example, if someone is only mildly incontinent, they may not need a bed pad with a very high level of absorbency.
6. How do I wash an adult bed underpad?
Adult bed underpads can be machine washed and dried at medium heat. Mild bleach may be used. Do not iron in case of shrinkage and product break down. Newly bought adult bed underpads need to be washed before they are used. Industrial dyes and harmful substances that are invisible to the naked eye may remain on the pads, and pads that have been cleaned and disinfected by the sun can be used more safely.
