Cloth diapers views ??

[Inco24seven]

Not sure about this but I have been thinking of using cloth diapers overnight to save on my suppies given from the NHS . I currently use the Tena slips about four or five a day I also a booster pad for extended wear and overnight.But at the end of every month I am down to my last half dozen slips , to me that's cutting it a bit fine.
So I was thinking of using Pocket diapers with a mixture either Bamboo or Microfibre inserts, but I wouldn't using cloth during the day, just at night when my incontinence is at its heaviest .Does anyone else use pocket diapers for overnight use ? A Tena slip with a quality booster pad and good quality plastic pads normally see me through the night. Mostly when I wake in the morning my diaper is well soaked even allowing for the booster pad. Thanks for any advice on the subject of cloth. Me using a pocket diaper at night would save my supply approx thirty Tena slips a month.
I am grateteful for my " free " diapers but I have to jump through many hoops to get my monthly allowance .
Ps I can never ever understand why we call our tape on incontinence protection " slips " Why just not call them what they are diapers or here in the Uk they are called nappies .

Hi. I hope you are doing well. Have you tried researching reusable cotton protective underwear? My husband gets deliveries of these briefs covered by his insurance. It's called SPC Men's Incontinence Underwear. Inside it has these insertion pockets for booster pad or male guard inserts. It helps us have enough diapers on hand for the month. If we are running low on supply, I will just use the underwear and a super absorbent booster pad to get us through the rest of the month.

Hope it helps. I'm in the USA by the way. I don't know if these are available in the UK.

Hi: depends on your level of incontinence, but the pocket diapers might not absorb enough to keep your bedding dry. I've gone to using the old fashioned pre-fold diapers that pin on (adult sized). No leaks and budget friendly.

I agree with the commenter above because, from my own experience, I can say that reusable pin-fastened diapers are incredibly convenient in every way. I highly recommend them.

Gauze diaper user here to manage my incontinence. I also use disposable diapers as well. I have to say that gauze diapers are the best. I manage well with using prefolds, contours, flats, and “ all in one” diapers. Only use two diaper pins (one on each side) along with vinyl (aka rubber pants). Yes there is a lot of work with the laundering but it’s not that difficult. You do spend a lot of money up front but you will save money in a long run year after year. I use Adult Cloth Diaper diapers as well as Changing Times Diaper Company diapers. Unfortunately Changing Times Diapers are no longer being stocked. Another good cloth diaper at Rearz prefolds and snap on gauze diapers. I do use disposables when out of the house and have been incorporating using cloth outside of the house as well. It’s much easier to change a disposable diaper when out and about rather than changing out a cloth diaper. I’m a new member here as of today and looking forward to joining in on posts here.
