Adult pull-up diapers and protective underwear are the same. Designed explicitly for bladder control, protective underwear fits on your body like regular underwear. Often called "pull-ups," protective underwear fits discreetly under your clothing. Also, many people with incontinence choose pull-ups because they don't make sounds when you shuffle in a seat. Even though protective underwear beats out adult incontinence diapers in the discretion category, they lack the absorbency necessary to accommodate consumers with higher volumes of urine discharge. However, overnight pull-up diapers for adults provide more protection than the standard option. In addition, adult pull-up diapers are not as adjustable as adult diapers with their panels and adhesive tabs.
