In a recent Hong Kong Consumer Council study, various adult diapers, incontinence pads and adult pants were tested to evaluate their absorption capabilities, breathability, quality, hygiene standards, presence of harmful chemicals, and pH levels. The study identified that a few products contained traces of irritant chemicals, which could potentially cause skin allergies with prolonged use.

The study assessed several factors in adult diapers, including absorption speed and capacity, leakage prevention, and breathability. While all the tested diapers met the standard requirements for absorption, there were notable differences in absorption speed among different products.
