Bedwetting (or nocturnal enuresis or sleepwetting) is involuntary urination while asleep. It is the normal state of affairs in infancy, but can be a source of embarrassment when it persists into school age or the teen or adult years. Find others who are coping with a bedwetting problem and share your experiences and questions.

Overnight Diapers

Chris7812

I have a neurogenic bladder and have been wearing diapers for many years. I wore cloth diapers and plastic pants for a long time but they are messy and can smell. I changed to disposable diapers with mixed results. When disposable underwear came out I have been using them and the overnights. However, they leak. I want to go back to disposable diapers for overnight use. There are so many out these days. Does anyone have some recommendations for a great overnight diaper?

I used to use Molicare but now use Tena Slip Maxi. They have just changed from plastic to fabric cover; have 2 tapes each; side, and come in different sizes. In case of leaks I slip a gauze baby-diaper into the plastic pants. This works well, and the gauze washes & dries quickly if leaks occur.. I don't know about cost, as in UK we get from NHS. Tena usually offer samples online. Both these are worth a try. Good luck!

Chris,
I don't know where you live, but I am in the US. I have also gone from disposables to cloth and now back to disposables. I have been using the Tena Super brief. It is a tape on diaper. I order from Duraline Medical Products. You can see it here: http://www.dmponline.com/tena-super-briefs You can use a cloth baby diaper as a booster or there are some really good boost pads available that are disposable. You might also want to look at the Molicare Super Plus and the Abena M-4 Diapers. The Molicare is available through Duraline and the Abena from XP Medical or Amazon. I use the Tena, since they are less expensive and I usually don't have leaks. I also always wear a pair of waterproof pants over the diaper. If you have any of the vinyl pants that are lined with cloth, they work great over the disposable diapers. Let us know what is working for you.

I use Tena Slip Maxi.
I get mine from the NHS as I have a overactive bladder and wet in my sleep.

Hi Katherin! I hope in the North you find the Home Delivery Service with the current direct telephone number as efficient as I do in the South? Also I am very happy with the new design of Tena Slip Maxi which came in my recent delivery. It has many better features I think.

I love the Tena Slip Maxi diaper for the daytime but they're so expensive here in the U.S., I save them just for work days. At night, I've mostly gone with either the new Wellness Superio diaper or the new A+ line that was created by and for XP Medical. They are incredibly soft and comfortable. They have one-shot only tapes and you'll destroy the diaper if you try to pull the tapes off so fitting right the first time is a must. But they're very absorbent and work great for night.

I agree with CJ. The new line by XP medical is very comfortable and is sure to be a hit. It comes in two thickness, and I prefer the thicker one at night.

I use Tena Maxi pads which for the most part keep our bed dry.

    In 2013 I had an accident resulting in spinal injury at the base of my neck with paralysis from there down, spasticity (muscle contractions and spasms) and double incontinence. Both my anus and my urethra have been left closed except with manual intervention.  I hardly ever pass urine via the usual route (I have a suprapubic catheter passing directly into my bladder about 2 inches below my...
