• If a soiled brief is being replaced, remove it and clean the groin and buttocks thoroughly.
• Dispose of soiled briefs in a sanitary manner. Do not flush.
• Wash hands after handling soiled briefs.
• Do not get powder, lotion or oil on tape tabs. These substances may cause the tabs not to stick properly.
• Please, always seek professional advice from your physician or health care professional if you or someone you care for is experiencing bladder control problems.

STEP 1
Unfold a fresh brief.

STEP 2
Identify the inside and outside of the product.

• The inside of a DEPEND Fitted Maximum Protection (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 six refastenable tapes-three on each side flap.
• The flaps on the front of the brief do not have tapes.

STEP 4
Lift the person from the chair to a standing position.

STEP 5
Place the unfolded brief on the surface of a chair with the inside (the white absorbent layer) facing up. Be sure that the back of the brief (the end with tape tabs) is placed toward the back of the chair.

STEP 6
Seat the person on the center of the brief.

STEP 7
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 8
Adjust the brief to fit closely by pulling it snugly against the groin. Fasten the tape tabs onto the front flaps.

STEP 9
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.
