there are many products for those who wet the bed ranging from bed pads to bed wetting nappies/diapers.
below are some examples of the products available.
Mattress Covers: A variety of products exist to protect the bed including vinyl, waterproof, and absorbing mattress covers or even sheet protectors, which can make clean-up easier.
Bed Wetting Alarms
There are two types of alarms:
Wired bed wetting alarms.
Wireless bed wetting alarms.
Alarms can be very effective in reducing or stopping bed wetting. The idea is to trigger an alarm as soon as moisture is felt. Over a period of time the brain is trained to recognise the alarm and respond by controlling the bladder. Hopefully,after some time, the brain will react before urinating.
Incontinence Diapers/Nappies At Night
Using adult incontinence diapers/nappies at night does not help overcome the problem, but it does prevent soiling the bedclothes and waking to the discomfort of a soggy sheet. Adult diapers come in all sizes
A variety of adult diapers/nappies can be bought to suit all needs. They can be disposable or washable.
Disposable adult diapers/nappies can be bought as all in one pull up pants just like a normal pair of pants, or with adhesive tapes at the side. Pouch pants are available. Similar to ordinary pants they have a pouch to hold a disposable pad. Disposable pads shaped to suit men or woman and designed for heavy or light use can be used with the pouch pants or normal close fitting underwear. Close fitting stretch pants can also be bought to hold disposable pants in place.
Washable Adult Diapers/Nappies
One of the strongest arguments in favor of adult cloth diapers/nappies is that they are washable, and therefore reusable. If you have a serious incontinence problem, the ability to reuse the diaper/nappy may save you hundreds a year. Once you have purchased the adult cloth diapers/nappies and the plastic cover-up pants (to prevent leakage), you can simply wash, dry and reuse them. With disposable diapers/nappies, you do not have the option of washing or reusing.
Another positive outcome of using adult cloth diapers/nappies, as opposed to using disposable diapers/nappies, is lessening the negative impact on the environment.
Every incontinence sufferer will have his or her opinion on which is best. Disposable diapers/nappies can be much more convenient and accessible. At the same time, they are more expensive in the long run. Adult cloth diapers/nappies can be reused and you are only spending money once to buy your supplies.
