How do I determine the right size and fit?

The generous fit of a ZipperOn® garment allows for flexibility of fit depending on needs and preference.

ZipperOn® garments offer care and comfort while facilitating quick and easy incontinence product changes. Some prefer a snug fit as it helps prevent the wearer from meddling or dislodging their incontinence product.

1. Wearers wanting easy access and a comfortable fit

ZipperOn® garments provides quick and easy access for personal care and changing of incontinence products.

For wearers with health challenges such as: palliative care, contractures, chronic pain, a product that is too tight may be uncomfortable for sleeping and easy movement.

See the sizing guide located on the Shop page.

2. For wearers with responsive behaviours.

ZipperOn® by reason of its design, discourages the wearer from accessing or removing their incontinence product. If this is the goal, less ease around the chest is important so the wearer cannot as easily access their brief/pad by easing their arms into the body of the garment through the armhole openings.

Sizing measurements allow for several inches of ease.

ZipperOn® garments gather/taper at the ankles while incorporating room for swelling or thicker ankles. Many wear the products as sleepwear while others enjoy a ZipperOn® garment 24/7.

If you are at all unsure of sizing or have questions, please contact ZipperOn® directly.

How many ZipperOn® garments should I buy?

For in home use, two ZipperOn® garments should be sufficient. This allows for the laundering of one ZipperOn® garment while the other is being worn. Having a spare or two on hand is helpful, especially if wearing during the day.

For congregate settings, two ZipperOn® garments may be sufficient assuming a quick turnaround time for laundry. For peace of mind and readiness, extra garments may be helpful to have on hand.

What if I am buying outfits for a loved one in a care home and there are others there who are also wearing ZipperOn® garments?

The  ZipperOn® label is designed with space to clearly identify the name and room number of the wearer. It can easily be labelled with a permanent marker or an iron-on label.
