I viewed the “Premium Standard Incontinence Product List” at edocs.dhs.state.mn.us and it is unclear what the numbers in the categories mean.
The categories are Retention Capacity, ROA, Breathability and Re-Wet. What is a good score and what is a poor one? I learned from a person who posted on AgingCare.com that for Re-Wet, the lower the number, the better.


Categories that are not on the list are Best Acquisition (how fast the product takes urine away from the skin) and Best Total Absorbency. I wonder about the scores on those, too. Can anyone help me with this complicated topic?

After some searching I think I found the list you are talking about, it seems to be pages and pages of the kind of impossible to decipher information meant to keep bureaucrats employed. IMO if you google "best adult incontinence diapers" and work your way through the pages presented you will find a lot more useful information.

Kinda where you are right now!

OS and I are going to get several brands of adult diapers and try to see how much liquid they really can hold. ( A HUGGIES size 6 diaper will hold almost 6 cups of water and then it explodes, literally--this I know--on account of grandkids--so you'd think adult diapers could certainly do that much!) And mom doesn't ingest 72 oz of fluid, so I don't know where this is coming from!

As far as the BM factor---I just can't figure that one out. Luckily mother only goes once a day and she's like 90% making it to the bathroom on time. I know that will change.
