Product Application Instructions

STEP 1 Unfold a fresh brief. STEP 2 Identify the inside and outside of the product. The inside of a Fitted Brief (the side that is placed against the skin) is a white absorbent layer. The outside has a moisture-proof outer cover with a wetness indicator. STEP 3 Identify the front and back of the product. The back of the brief has refastenable tapes-on each side flap. The flaps on the front of the brief do not have tapes. STEP 4 Move the person onto his or her side. STEP 5 Position the back of the brief (the end with the tape tabs) next to the person's buttocks with the flaps folded as shown. Make sure the white absorbant layer is facing up, with the back of the brief placed toward the head of the bed. STEP 6 Unfold the flaps on the side of the brief farthest from the person's body. STEP 7 Gently roll the person over the brief, just far enough to unfold the other back flaps. STEP 8 Roll the person back onto the center of the brief--onto his or her back. STEP 9 Bring the front of the brief up between the legs. The front and back edges of the brief should be pulled to equal heights on the front and back of the waist line. STEP 10 Adjust the brief to fit closely by pulling it snugly into the groin. Fasten the tape tab onto the front flaps. STEP 11 Adjust the brief for a close and comfortable fit. Be sure to move any folds of skin-especially on the inner thigh-to prevent leaking and chafing. Adjust fit by repositioning tape tabs.
