Introduction

With growing awareness of adult incontinence care in Pakistan, more brands are entering the market. But not all adult diapers are equal — absorbency, skin safety, price, and availability vary significantly. In this honest comparison, we evaluate the main options available in Pakistan so you can make the best choice for your needs.

Adult Diaper Brands Available in Pakistan

The following brands are commonly available across Pakistan as of 2026:

• Sofped — Pakistani brand by Ana & Batla Industries, Karachi
• Tena — international brand, imported, premium pricing
• Depend — international brand, limited availability
• Friends — Indian brand, available in some pharmacies
• Various unbranded generic diapers — sold at lower price points in local markets

Sofped vs Imported Brands — Key Differences

Price

Sofped starts from Rs. 1,100 per pack of 10. Imported brands like Tena typically cost Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 5,000 or more per pack depending on the variant and where purchased. For long-term patient care, cost is a major consideration — Sofped delivers comparable quality at a fraction of imported pricing.

Availability

Sofped is available online with nationwide home delivery and Cash on Delivery across Pakistan. Imported brands are available in select large pharmacies and supermarkets in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad — but are hard to find outside major cities and generally not available for home delivery with COD.

Quality and Absorbency

Sofped diapers are manufactured to international production standards and offer 10 to 12 hours of heavy absorbency. This is comparable to international brands at a significantly lower price. Our diapers are used and trusted by hospitals, clinics, and home caregivers across Pakistan.

Skin Safety

Sofped uses non-woven, breathable top sheets tested for sensitive skin. Imported brands have the advantage of longer market track records, but for Pakistan’s climate — which tends toward heat and humidity — Sofped’s breathable design is well-suited to local conditions.

Size Range

Sofped offers S, M, L, and XL sizes to accommodate a full range of Pakistani patients. Some imported brands have limited size availability in the local market.

Sofped vs Generic Unbranded Diapers

Local bazaars sometimes sell very low-priced unbranded adult diapers. While the price may seem attractive, the risks are significant:

• Unknown absorbency levels — may fail after 1 to 2 hours
• Rough materials that cause immediate skin irritation and rash
• No quality control — inconsistent fit between packs
• No wetness indicator — harder to manage patient care
• Risk of skin infection from sub-standard materials

For short-term or emergency situations, a generic diaper may suffice. For ongoing patient care, the skin and dignity cost of poor quality diapers outweighs any price saving.

Our Recommendation

For Pakistani families and caregivers looking for the best balance of quality, price, and availability, Sofped is the clear choice. It delivers:

• International production standards at local prices
• Nationwide availability with home delivery
• Cash on Delivery — no upfront payment needed
• Consistent quality trusted by hospitals and clinics
• Pakistani brand supporting local manufacturing
