in a word about Depends "JUNK" the only thing about Depend, they are the most well known but there are much better products on the market I am currently using Abena Abriform L4 as that is what my current provider is sending me I have also used in the past Confidry 24/7, Molicare, I have used the Wellness briefs but found the fit a bit odd on me the North Shore line seems to be quite good a lower priced line of products that are ok is the Tranquility line especially the ATN but these are a lower line of products

J.....,
I offer several thoughts on the subject familiar to too many of us. First, sleeping on your back as much as possible allows gravity to reduce leakage. Second, not hydrating much after mid-afternoon can help. Third, stop the leakage. I've posted notes previously regarding a silicone sleeve I and my engineer partner have designed and tested over the last five years. It's a flexible external device (you wouldn't know you're wearing) that works really well at night, since there is little, if any, intravesical pressure that causes leakage. During the day, when there are moments of stress incontinence, such as when swinging a golf club, it will allow some leakage requiring a backup liner. While we are patent pending at this time, the units are not for sale, but I would be happy to send you one for testing. You would be joining three dozen others who have volunteered to help us in our mission to save half the world. We are actually about to begin our search for an established industry partner to whom we can license it to. Additional volunteer feedback, however, is still very much welcome. If you have an interest in learning more, pls email me at amhelp@comcast.net. Best wishes to you. Duane

Finding the right solution is a very personal experience. If you are a side sleeper like me, you might want to choose a cloth diaper which rides up high around the hips to help catch the voids. Of course, high waisted plastic pants are a must for optimal protection. If you don't want to do down the cloth route, try Northshore Megamax diapers or a diaper which can absorb more than 5 litres. Let us know how you get on please and best of luck finding the right solution for you.
My preference is to wear an external catheter and be hooked up to a night drainage bag connected to the bed under the mattress. This works well for me and is comfortable to wear.

@Vlesia I have heard cloth diapers are good for bedwetters and people who sleep on their sides. Using a fold that puts a fair amount on the hips can help absorb unlike disposable diapers that usually don't have any absorbency at the sides. It is a trial and error experiment to get the right fit and comfort as if it is too bulky at the sides, they will dig into you and not feel comfortable to sleep in.

@Stevewet that's true, it depends how you were brought up and it can be a love or a hate feeling. Vlesia, another important thing to remember is the health of your skin so please be careful when going over to cloth as you will need to look after your skin and protect it and be careful with washing powders. Don't use fabric conditioner as it will stop the cloth from being absorbant.
