  One of the things I've mentioned repeatedly in my various articles is that picking an incontinence product is very subjective. In some cases there is a great deal of trial and error involved in picking a product that will best meet your needs. The factors involved in making this decision include the type and level of incontinence,whether your incontinence occurs during the day,night,or both, whether or not you want(or have) the time to wash diapers and plastic pants,etc. That is one of the reasons people prefer disposables-for the convenience they offer. If finances permit you might consider trying both disposable tape-on diapers and pin-on diapers and plastic pants to manage your bed-wetting. By trying both kinds you'll be able to determine what works best for you. Many people use both kinds of diapers. For example some people use the pin-on diapers and plastic pants to manage their bed-wetting during the cooler seasons such as fall,spring,and winter whereas during the summer months they switch to tape-on style diapers(also known as disposable briefs) In addition some people with both day and night incontinence wear disposables during the day and pin-on diapers at night. It's good to be flexible and open-minded.

 

  As mentioned before,if you do decide to use pin-on diapers for your bed-wetting you should consider reading chapter 9 of “The New Diaper Primer”. There are two versions of this chapter-one is just text and the other has both text and pictures demonstrating how to fold and pin cloth diapers on in order to get the best fit and provide the most comfort and protection.

 

  There is one last point I'd like to mention regarding using cloth diapers to manage bed-wetting. If you do decide to wear pin-on diapers keep in mind you must use waterproof pants to cover the diapers. The most widely used type of waterproof pants are plastic pants. Plastic pants such as the Gary,Suprima,and Comco brands have excellent reputations. Plastic pants have many advantages over other styles of waterproof pants including comfort,durability,and cost. My share post “Brands of Plastic Pants for Older Bedwetters" discusses some of the more popular plastic pants available for bed-wetting.

 Some companies that sell pin-on cloth diapers for both youth and adults include Loving Comfort Diaper Company,Angel Fluff Diaper Company,Babykins(also known as KINS which stands for Kinder Incontinence Supplies),and Adultclothdiaper.com. I was on the Loving Comfort Diaper Company website and they mention that they can custom design diapers to meet specific needs(for instance if you have a child that won't fit into standard size diapers or if you need diapers with a particular level of absorbency they can design diapers that meet those needs).

 

 

  Whatever you do don't get discouraged if it takes you a while to find a suitable product. There's a lot of high quality products out there to deal with bed-wetting and other incontinence problems. As with everything else in life it's good to be well informed. This includes reading as much as you can and asking questions. With perseverance you'll be able to find a product that will make you feel confident and secure.
