{{Main|Adult diaper}}
Although most commonly worn by and associated with babies and children, diapers are also worn by adults for a variety of reasons. In the medical community, they are usually referred to as "adult absorbent briefs" rather than diapers, which are associated with children and may have a negative connotation. The usage of adult diapers can be a source of embarrassment,<ref name=WYGGYGG>{{cite web|last=Stack |first=Jennie Borodko |title=When You've Gotta Go, You've Gotta Go |publisher=[[Muscular Dystrophy Association]] |date=February 2001 |url=https://thediaperrash.com/alternative-ways-for-adults-to-pee/|access-date=October 11, 2017}}</ref> and products are often marketed under euphemisms such as incontinence pads. The most common adult users of diapers are those with medical conditions which cause them to experience [[urinary incontinence]] (like bedwetting) or [[fecal incontinence]], those who are bedridden or otherwise limited in their mobility, or for other emotional, physical, or mental needs. It is important that the user selects the proper type, size, and absorbency level for their needs as every diaper design is different.
