What is the best diaper for a bedwetter? Personal choice and individual needs dictate this, but I find that for a heavy wetter who has a habit of lying on his/her side, cloth is the best outcome. The cloth wraps itself around the body and soaks up any liquid from all areas. Disposable diapers are designed to catch liquid in the centre in the crotch area and wick it away to the front or back, but there is no padding on the sides. Leakage during sleeping can occur when the wearer is lying on their side. There are ways to overcome this by wearing a waterproof training pant over the top of the disposable so the cloth inside the training pant will soak up any leakage. This is the method I prefer after many years of having experimented with the problem.
But you cannot beat cloth with a vinyl overpant for the best protection, and I highly reccommend this option. However it does have its drawbacks. Firstly is the extra washing and almost daily, the second is to find a vinyl overpant that will make sure the leakage will not leak past the leg and waist gathers. Again you need to experiment for your own individual needs and problems.
Disposable diapers are great but cloth is much better for stopping leakage, whether they be preformed, squares or used with soaker pads. Experiment then when you are happy with a product, then buy them for nightly use.
Most males are bedwetters at sometime in their lives from small children to youths and adults. This blog is a discussion tool for those who want to help or understand their own problem
