Adult diapers

Postby teachermom » Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:30 am

Anyone have any thoughts on what the most absorbent for overnight is?


Matt was actually night dry for over a year and a half right after he potty trained, then he started wetting again sometimes. I thought he was almost back to night dry a couple years ago and now he is wetting almost every night. I think it may be related to his back problem (not a good sign - it may mean that the nerves are being impinged) but the only doctor who is at all concerned is the autism specialist, who wants to treat it behaviorally, as though he is wetting on purpose! (As a former bedwetter, I get really ticked off at that!)

He still fits in Goodnites, but overflows them. I bought Attends, and that was worse than Goodnites! I googled and was just overwhemed at the choices, so thought I'd come here for some advice first.

I don't really know what is out there and which ones are better than others. I do know families who have written to the companies and been able to receive a "trial" supply of 2 or 3, so that might be an option. In the meantime, another solution is to wear two at a time, with the inside one have a slit cut in the center crotch area. Is more expensive, obviously...... but does work.
