sissysissy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Molicare, Wellness or my favorite that is available at a pharmacy near me. prevail extended use brief. The prevail extended brief hold quite alot with no leaks. its clothlike with more a cotton fell to the absorbant inner core than the gel type. sometimes the gel type binches up so perfer the cotton filler of prevail.

DiapermanAl Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ok now to answer your question about plastic pants. Want durability go with salk. They are 6 for 60.00 at hdis.com. And a cheap liner to help absorb leaks is a pair of cotton briefs. Fruit of the loom seam to have the most coverage. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I would stay away from cloth-like diapers, they do not have enough absorbency for night time wetting, are not water proof on the sides, have a very limited capacity, and often have leaking problems around the legs even when sitting or standing. Obviously, underwear is going to be even worse for absorption so I wouldn't use those either. Most any disposable diapers will have leaking problems at night too. We can't truly give you a direct answer though, as we first need to know if you are taking in the recommended amount of water during the day (that is, are you a moderate or heavy wetter). Also, do you sleep on your back, stomach, or the side? For back or side, and heavy wetting, you will need to go with a premium diaper. Molicare Supers, Abena xplus, or dry 24/7 are good bets. Some people also swear by wellness superio or xp aplus l4, But Those Are Hit And Miss. For side sleeping, which I do, disposables will not be enough, even with moderate wettings. You will seriously need to consider cloth. The leakmaster from adultclothdiapers.com are probably a good pre-fold to get started with. For diaper covers. The salk is NOT a good one to get. It is a nylon covered plastic with nylon covered elastic bands. When heavily wet on the inside the nylon will wick pee at the legs and waist then spread it out over the outside of the cover. The plastic also tends to harden and crack, especially with repeated exposure to urine. I would recommend getting the gary activewear PUL pants, which also has the PUL material covering the elastic. Alternatively, you could go with the vinly leakmaster pants, which also has the vinyl covering the elastic. Either of these will dramatically cut down on wicking leaks while laying down.

Bettypooh Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 My experience with Salk "Sani-pants" has been rotten, all began leaking permanently just above the legband stiching after only a few uses. If you need plastic panties get something better Comco, Gary, Leakmaster and many others are highly recommended by regular users here and elsewhere. I can also recommend the doule-leg ones DD himself is selling as far as fit and functionality- I haven't had mine long enough to comment on durability but they do seem like they will be. I alsio like the "Lang" ones sold by EL Lifestyles but they ship slow sometimes as this isn't their main business. Bargain prices usually indicate low quality and in these products you will not get what you don't pay for. Link to comment
Inconito Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 go with a good cloth diaper Prefold or contour, and plastic pants from Gary. You'll never leak. Link to comment
DiaperedCutie Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm a heavy night-time wetter, and I sleep on my back as well as on my tummy, and I tend to switch back and forth through the night as well, so I've managed to leak in almost every brand of disposable. However, since I started wearing Bambinos with their TotalDry Ultimate Booster, I haven't leaked once, even when it's soaked. I haven't used plastic panties since I started using those. Their Quadro Booster is also quite good and similar in price. Link to comment
FullyLoaded Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I use a premium diaper (wellness superio) and Babykins double terry lined vinyl pants. Link to comment
Walesiswet Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Disposable with terry towel diaper and plastic pants over that. Leaks are rare, easy to clean and would recommend gary euroflex pants as for me that have lasted nearly two years without signs of faults. Link to comment

adhb Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I wear Abena M4s all day and night and very rarely have a nighttime leak that gets my bed wet. If I've been drinking a lot of beer, I wear a ComfiCare diaper, which holds nearly twice as much as an Abena M4. Link to comment

babyleanna75 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I hate to say but I have read a lot of posts from bedwetting on Daily Diapers and surprised they haven't posted on here. They say disposables leak out the top and the sides which I have experienced a few times. They also have switched to pin on cloth diapers or cloth diapers that have absorbtion material all the way around the fit of the diaper and use plastic pants and they say they work great. The problem with disposables is the lack of padding on the sides and the gap that you can slide your fingers in between the tapes I've had pee exit the gap between the two tapes. I am not normally a bed wetter but have day time incontinence, but the day I start bed wetting I will invest in some cloth diapers. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Disposables virtually always leak when lying down, either from the top or sides, because an adult's torso is their center of weight, which causes the urine to flow backward and then to either side. Link to comment
bloom Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I use the new Northshorecare supreme with a leak master all-in one wrapped over it. keeps the diaper tight and easily catches any side leaks...plus it feels great! Link to comment
bedwettersteve Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 for me cloth diapers and plastic pants are the best at keeping my bed dry been using cloth all my life for bedwetting I never even saw a disposable till I was in my teens Link to comment
stevewet Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 for me cloth diapers and plastic pants are the best at keeping my bed dry been using cloth all my life for bedwetting I never even saw a disposable till I was in my teens That's when I first saw and had to use them following a referal to the continence nurse by our family Doctor. They were horible poorly fitting things that often leaked and used to bunch up when wet. Link to comment
