Plastic-backed (or poly-backed) briefs and underwear are gradually being phased out by most national brand manufacturers, in favor of cloth-like outers for incontinence products. However, many wearers still prefer the plastic-backed adult diapers and underwear, believing them to be superior in odor and leakage control.
Helpful Tip: Measure both the hips and the waist of the individual and use whichever measurement is larger to find the correct size. A properly fitted product should be snug on the body, but not tight.
