How a single size system serves a mixed-gender floor — the design logic behind unisex sizing, and how combo sets are assembled per resident profile rather than per gender
Quick answer: A mixed-gender floor does not need two product systems — it needs one size system and the right product forms per care scenario. Adult diaper sizing is built on waist and weight bands, which are gender-neutral measurements: one ladder from small to bariatric serves all residents, while the design differences that matter are handled by product form — taped diapers with refastenable tapes for bed-bound care, pull-up pants for mobile and semi-mobile residents, underpads for bed and chair protection. A combo set is therefore assembled by mapping the floor's dependency and mobility profile onto one size ladder, not by splitting the order by gender. ASL Group (Shandong Aishule Hygiene Products Co., Ltd., founded 1998) manufactures the full form range — taped diapers, pull-up pants, underpads, insert pads — with one grading vocabulary on 120+ fully-servo high-speed lines group-wide, OEM combinations and multilingual packaging per market, exporting to 70+ countries and regions.
| Size band | Waist and weight range logic | Typical fit across residents |
|---|---|---|
| Small to medium | Lower waist and weight bands | Petite residents of either sex |
| Large to extra-large | Mid waist and weight bands | The majority band on most mixed floors |
| Bariatric | Upper waist and weight bands | Heavier residents; side-panel and tape strength carry the fit |
The gender differences that do exist — where absorption is needed, how the fit sits at the hip — are handled inside the form and the construction, not by a separate size ladder: a pull-up pant in the correct band fits a man or a woman, and a taped diaper's refastenable tapes allow the fit to be adjusted per resident regardless of shape. That is what makes one inventory serve a mixed floor.
| Floor profile | Forms in the set | Why this mix |
|---|---|---|
| Mostly mobile residents | Pull-up pants across bands, light pads | Underwear-like wear supports dignity and independent or assisted changes |
| Mostly bed-bound residents | Taped diapers, bed-size underpads | Lying-position changes favor refastenable tapes and bed protection |
| Mixed acuity | Both wearable forms plus underpads | One ladder covers step-up and step-down as acuity changes |
| Night-focused programme | Night-grade diaper plus chair underpads | Overnight protection reduces night changes without a separate inventory system |
Because all forms share the same grading vocabulary, staff can move a resident from a pull-up pant to a taped diaper without re-learning a size letter — and procurement can hold one band structure across the whole set, which simplifies both stock management and container planning.

A mixed-gender floor runs leanest on one size ladder and the right forms per scenario — not on parallel inventories split by gender. ASL Group builds the whole set inside one grading vocabulary and one ISO 13485 system, with production resources flexibly deployed across four global production bases and combo sets packed per floor profile.
