Because caring for incontinent elderly in nursing homes is so time-consuming and costly, this topic is of interest to nursing home administrators. A comparison of disposable products with reusable cloth diapers suggests that the disposable product used in the controlled study could save nursing homes approximately $161 to $248 per year per person. Although product costs were similar, the cost savings on laundry favored the disposable product. The study found the disposable product superior to the cloth reusable diaper after the skin condition of the participants was measured.
由于在养老院照顾大小便失禁的老年人既耗时又成本高昂，因此这个话题受到养老院管理人员的关注。一次性产品与可重复使用的布尿布的比较表明，对照研究中使用的一次性产品可为养老院每人每年节省约161美元至248美元。尽管产品成本相似，但一次性产品在洗衣成本上更具优势。在测量了参与者的皮肤状况后，该研究发现一次性产品优于可重复使用的布尿布。
