I have the same kind of dreams. Between 2-10 times a month I will have a dream that I need to pee and am searching for a bathroom. When I do finally find one, which for some reason seems to take a long time, I use it to my great relief. Of course when I wake up in the morning my diaper is soaked. This has been going on for many years in addition to my daytime incontinence. At night I wear a tape-up diaper with a thick cotton pad inside and a PUL pant over that. My bed is protected with a large washable pad. During the day I'll wear an appropriate diaper depending on what I'll be doing that day.

You should try Walmart "Flour Sack Cloths" which can be found in the kitchen section with the dish towels. They cost only $5 for five 28"x 29" flat 100% cotton cloths which you can fold into any configuration or thickness you desire. You can even start with two or three cloths and fold them together to make a super absorbent pad. Since they are flat/one layer they wash and dry very easily. I add one folded into six layers into my nighttime diaper and add a PUL pant over that. Using this combination I've had zero leaks get outside of my diaper much less out of my PUL pants.

I use Guards quite a bit and agree with Dale Ridge's recommendation that the Prevail Guards are the best. However, I find that while they absorb a bit more than others they also swell up a good bit more and may not be as discreet as you are looking for. My recommendation is for the Tena Guards which hold a fair amount but don't swell up as much. They are also a bit wider, especially at the top, which really helps contain overflow. Walmart's Assurance Guards aren't bad but they are smaller and even though they have little side leak guards they don't seem as good as the other two brands plus they do swell up a lot, however they are the least expensive. I also thought the suggestion to use boxer briefs over a Depend type pull-up was a great suggestion. I have done that myself and it has worked out well for me and nobody else was the wiser. Hope this helps!

Hey Loveable Guy: I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous hearing that your Wife asks you to wear your compression stockings to bed. Although I'm pretty good at wearing mine most of the time my Wife will tell me to put them on when she sees me without them. Unfortunately I don't think she finds them sexy and has never asked me to wear them to bed. In fact my doctor actually advised me not to wear them to bed. However there is a type called "Anti-Embolism Stockings" (open-toed-white) made specifically for bedridden patients, but they are constructed differently than the regular "daytime" compression stockings that I use. BTW... You are so right that they are great in the cold winter months, but that's not all that often down here in Florida. They can get really uncomfortable in the middle of the hot and humid Florida summers but I still wear them (even with shorts) on all but the hottest of days. Diapers, well that's a whole other story, I've got to wear them 24/7 or I'll have either wet pants or a wet bed, so at least my Wife doesn't have to remind me to wear my diapers! The good news is that from time to time she will give me a playful pat on my diapered bottom which I have to say I really like.

Too funny, and I thought I was the only guy that has to wear thigh high compression stockings AND diapers, not sure though about how sexy they look.

I almost always wear some kind of underwear over my diaper.

Any kind of dampness in those areas will soften the skin and make it much more prone to damage from rubbing of the diaper material.

Here's a long overdue update (and thanks for all of the suggestions)... I realized that the biggest problem I was having with my Gary PUL pants was that the elastic in the leg opening was rolling up into a tiny thin strip. The solution to the problem was to have a seamstress add a zig-zag stitch on the leg elastics. It keeps the elastic nice and flat on my legs and is way more comfortable now. I've also purchased a few pairs of the Leakmaster side-snap PUL Pants which are great for the warmer months of the year. Of course I had my seamstress add the stitches to the leg elastics and they stay perfectly flat and comfortable. Even though I believe that they are actually made by Gary they are much fuller and higher cut than the Gary Activewear PUL pants so that is nice too.

Even though I don't often wet while sleeping

I put my diapers on with my back against a wall to hold the diaper in place, I then stick the top tapes, adjust the lay of the wings, make sure everything is snug around my legs, and then stick the bottom tapes.

I live in Central Florida so I know exactly what you are dealing with heat and

Fetware and Babykins both sell rubber (latex) pants.

I call them exactly what they are, diapers, pads, guards, pull-ups, etc.

About three years ago my BPH started to get worse and that is when my incontinence issue started.

If you are worried about the heat with regular pull-up PUL pants you should try the side snap Leakmaster PUL pants.
