Abena Abri-Form Comfort Adult Brief with Plastic Backing and Wetness Indicator
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Abena Abri-Form Comfort is a plastic-backed adult brief built for one of the highest levels of incontinence protection, suited to moderate and heavy needs during the day or overnight. A polyethylene (PE) backing helps hold moisture in and keep odor down, while soft leakage barriers run along the front and rear sides and refastenable tape tabs give an adjustable, repositionable fit. A wetness indicator shows at a glance when a change is due, and the fast-absorbing core pulls fluid away quickly. Sold by the pack in two sizes: Medium (M4), 14 briefs per pack, and Large (L4), 12 briefs per pack.

Sizing Guidance
Measure around the widest part of the waist or hips and match the result to the size ranges shown in the chart. The Medium (M4) fits 28 to 44 inches and the Large (L4) fits 40 to 60 inches; where a measurement overlaps both, a larger size gives a looser fit and a smaller size a closer one.
Application
Open the brief fully, position it under the user, and fasten the tape tabs at the waist for a snug, comfortable fit. Adjust the tabs as needed, and check the wetness indicator to know when it is time for a change.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
