"Pull-up" high-absorbency overnight diaper for adult male?

Specialties Home Health

Client is incontinent of urine and feces and alone overnight 8 to 10 hours. I do bath visits. Client's shirts, sheets, pillows, everything are often soaked in urine.

Maybe it's not out there. But I'd like to find an overnight diaper in a pull up.

Family is reluctant to accept any change, so if it's pull-ups (Depends Underwear) during the day, they want pull-ups at night. I have educated on overnight diapers including showing family how to put on tape-ups but the best I could get them to do was adding guards (Poise pads) to the Depends.

Has anyone found a high absorbency/overnight pull up? I'd really like the brand and name or UPC number.

I received samples of the Abri-Flex Extra Pull-ups and Abri-Let booster pads. Indeed these are superior products. Abeena is a country of Danish origin. The packaging has instructions for donning and doffing the Pull-on Briefs in sixteen languages complete with line drawing diagrams approximating "Incontinent Vitruvian Man." For US dwellers imagine the instructions for assembling "IKEA disposable briefs."

I put together a presentation for family members including daily intakes and ml/kg/hr urine output to show we were trying to put a bucket of liquid into a thimble. Then I sold them on more expensive disposable pull-on briefs by showing they were less expensive than doing an extra load of laundry each day and throwing away 3 to 5 chux pads each AM.

First order arrived today. I think maybe the client and I will both sleep a little easier tonight.

That's great news CabanaDay, hope the Abena pads do the trick! :)

Totally agree that the more expensive pads are worth it, and probably cheaper in the long run.
