Hi Carol, thanks for writing. Hopefully others will chime in, but from our experience, often the results differ per individual. You may need to try a few different types in order to achieve just the right fit , comfort and absorbency needed. -Betty

I have been using PreVail and they are very good and inexpensive

It really depends on the amount of urine you need to control and how often they can be changed. We use Wings Quilted Overnight even through the day, they seem to absorb the most. And we also use a liner pad to help with absorption.

I personally love Abena diapers. They are comfortable and can hold a lot without leaking. They are a little more expensive though. I also like Attends and Tranquility products. Sometimes with cheaper diapers you may want to wear plastic pants or a diaper cover to prevent leaks too.

I have to agree with Janice E. As a Health Care provider of over 20 years, I have used several brands and styles on my residents. Knowing an estimated volume of urine passed along with frequency is a more appropriate was to determine which undergarment works for you.

I would definitely recommend Abena and Seni Quatro diapers based on price and quality performance.

I use Tranquility premium overnight. They absorb and prevent leaks

My husband has been using McKesson and is quite satisfied with them. He needs 2X.

Hi Carol. My mom uses the state supplied briefs, but I buy her the generic brands from CVS when I am there. The main thing to consider is the size and comfort. Do they need plastic lining outside to be able to slide their bottom when necessary? My mom prefers the cloth-like outside. The elastic on the sides allows for a more adjustable fit especially if they like to wear a larger size then needed like my mom. My mom doesn't have enough strength to change herself, but she can lay out a brief and then sit on it and is sometimes is able to get the sides up & pull velcro tabs to secure. If she can't, it does leak so she puts a waterproof pad underneath until her health aide arrives. She also uses the Double Up liners (sold here) to give her extra absorbency in between her changings. She said they are adhesive, don't bunch up, and are thin, but work. So it depends on the persons physical state and abilities. I think most are capable of absorbing without leaking

Hi Everyone: I am a caretaker for my elderly parent. We moved up from the Always panty liner style pads to a full diaper recently (within the past five months).She requires two diapers at a time for overnight. During the day I use a depends product. I really like them although they are quite expensive and you can almost never find enough at one time to buy as the multi packages are usually gone off of the shelves the minute they arrive. I spend about $70 on her diapers per month including wipes. A bit expensive. Does anyone use the diapers with the tapes and are they successful in keeping the bedding and pajamas dry or do they leak?

Carol, We use depends overnight for nights and I think Walmart has a good store diaper which I pair with depends overnight for day wear. Also, a Depends and a pad but not for any length of time due to comfort issues.

I require overnight protection and I'm a heavy or multiple voider. I do not like diapers and prefer pull ups. I have not been able to find a store bought pull up that is up to the task. I have really good matress pads that protect my matress, but I hate waking up in a wet bed. Any suggestions?

I now use PBE Tranquilty premium overnight pull-up. They are the best

I usually just use plastic pants over regular underwear.
