Adult tabbed briefs: a practical buying guide
Tabbed briefs are designed for assisted changes. They open flat, fasten at the sides, and can be applied while a person is lying down or seated.
Sanivy tabbed brief specifications are manufacturer-confirmed, which makes size selection more straightforward than with provisional data.

How the tabs work
Each brief has refastenable tabs on both sides. The brief can be positioned, fastened, checked and refastened without removing it completely, which helps when adjusting fit around the hips and legs.
- • Position the brief centrally before fastening
- • Fasten lower tabs first, then upper tabs
- • Check leg cuffs sit flat to reduce leakage
- • Refasten rather than over-tighten
Confirmed Sanivy sizes
Fit is based on waist or hip measurement. These ranges are manufacturer-confirmed.
Product dimensions describe the item laid flat and should not be used to select a size. Use the waist / hip fit ranges.
| Size | Waist / hip fit | Product dimensions | Approx. absorbency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medium | 70–110 cm | 80 × 65 cm | 1,400 mL |
| Large | 100–140 cm | 90 × 75 cm | 1,700 mL |
| XL | 120–160 cm | 99 × 80 cm | 1,850 mL |
Product features
Sanivy tabbed briefs use a non-woven top sheet, an absorbent SAP and fluff pulp core, a cloth-like backsheet, leak guards, a wetness indicator and refastenable tabs. They are supplied in sealed packs of 16.
Briefs are part of a Supported supply
A supported change usually needs more than the brief alone, so Sanivy supplies briefs within a Supported 28-day subscription that also includes protective underpads, continence wipes, nitrile gloves, foaming cleanser and barrier cream.
Delivery is calculated and charged separately.

When briefs may suit better than pull-ups
In general terms, briefs suit routines where another person routinely assists, where changes happen in bed or in a chair, or where standing to pull a product on is not practical. This is a practical consideration, not a clinical recommendation.
