STEP 1
Identify the inside and outside of the product.
- The inside (side placed against the skin) has a white absorbent
layer.
- The outside of the belted shield has a moisture-proof outer cover and green buttonhole reinforcement tape.
Note: The front and back of the belted shield are the same. |
 |
STEP 2
Attach the elastic straps to the back button holes of the
belted shield. Insert the buttons from the inside of the
belted shield to they show on the outside of the
belted shield - away from the skin. |
 |
STEP 3
Move the person onto his or her side. |
 |
STEP 4
Place the inside of the belted shield (the white
absorbent layer) against the buttocks. Align the end with
the elastic straps with the person's back waist line. |
 |
STEP 5
While holding the belted shield in place, roll the person onto
his or her back so they are centered on top of the
belted shield. Bring the front of the belted shield up
between the legs. Make sure that the straps are not twisted and
fasten them in front. Again, insert buttons from the inside of the
belted shield so they show on the outside of the belted shield.

STEP 6
- Position for a close fit by pulling the elastic straps toward the waistline, making
sure heights on the front and back of the belted shield are equal.
- Elastic straps should be angled slightly upward, over the hips.
- Make sure the straps are not twisted.
- Move any folds of skin - especially on the inner thigh - to prevent leaking and chafing.
- Save elastic straps for reuse. To clean elastic straps, hand wash in
mild detergent and hang to dry. Packages of DEPEND Belted Shields include two
pairs of elastic straps .
- Note for men: be sure that the penis is pointing down into the belted shield.
