Depend is a brand of absorbent, disposable adult diapers for people with urinary or fecal incontinence. It is made by Kimberly-Clark. The product was first introduced in 1984. It is the dominant brand of disposable incontinence garments in the United States, with a 30.8 share of the market. .〔 ==History == Kimberly-Clark has been making Huggies disposable diapers for infants since 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Toilet Paper Encyclopedia )〕 In 1984, the Depend products for adults were introduced, pioneering the retail incontinence category in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Company overview )〕 The original products were liners, available in regular and extra absorbencies. They could be worn inside underwear or alone, and were held on by small elastic belts. These were intended for moderate to heavy bladder incontinence. There were also fitted briefs for heavy to complete bladder incontinence as well as bowel incontinence. The padding was originally similar to what had been used for disposable baby diapers like Huggies. In 1988, all Depend products began to use an Absorb-Lock core which turns to a gel when wet. The product was originally unisex in style; in March 2009, Depend introduced gender-specific adult underwear in the United States and Canada. Depend Underwear for Men and Depend Underwear for Women replaced the existing unisex adult underwear on store shelves nationwide. In 2012 the company introduced very slender brief-style products, Silhouette for Women and Real Fit for Men, aimed at the Baby Boomer market.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Depend (undergarment)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
