I’m not sure where you work but no one says any of these where my mum lives! ….xc

There is no absolute right or wrong here. Use the word that the person uses themselves. Watching individual words is a silly thing to do, you can say anything as long as you are genuinely present and there is warmth and care in the encounter.

I call them pads, even if there's family say nappy. I hold up the pad so they know what I mean. even caring for kids, still call it a pad. i may say nappy pad to get the association, then drop the word nappy within a few changes.

We use the words Incontinence aid or pad, apron and finally we would say something like not feeling themselves or upset

Preach!!! I’ve worked in care since I was 18 and had it drilled from the start!! It’s not a nappy, it’s a pad. It’s not a bib, it’s an apron (or we say clothes protector) and it’s not playing up, they are unsettled. And if they are unsettled, usually it’s for a reason even if that reason doesn’t seem logical to us, to them it’s very real!!!

Mine is when people say " It's behavioural" it might be the right phrase, but still feels like we are indicating that they are children.
