Vinyl Pant Care
Caring for Your Vinyl Pants: Vinyl (plastic) pants are an essential part of incontinence and cloth diaper
management, but their longevity depends on proper care. With a few simple steps, you can keep them soft, pliable, and effective for months longer.
Extending the Life of Vinyl Pants
-
Rinse promptly after use: Urine and fecal matter are acidic and can damage vinyl if left untreated. Rinsing right away also helps prevent stains.
-
Avoid petroleum-based creams: Oils and lotions can stiffen vinyl and cause cracking. Stick to water-based products when possible.
-
Gentle hand washing: Use lukewarm water and a few drops of mild liquid soap. Harsh detergents strip the plasticizers that keep vinyl flexible.
-
Thorough rinsing: After washing, rinse well to remove all soap residue. Residue can weaken the material over time.
-
Air dry only: Never use a dryer or expose vinyl pants to direct sunlight. Instead, hang them on a showerhead or wire hanger. Patting dry with a towel speeds up the process.

By following these steps, you’ll extend the life of your vinyl pants and ensure they remain a reliable part of your daily routine.
