I sleep on a kylie or washable bed pad to absorb the inevitable leaks. My incontinene is caused by diabetic neuropathy too.AngelKitten said:Hi. I've been incontinent due to diabetic neuropathy for about five years now. I am gradually transitioning to wearing diapers 24/7, day and night. My question concerns wearing a diaper at night in bed and side-sleeping. My go-to diaper is the Abena L4, which usually never leaks. However, I sleep on my side in bed, and it always seems I leak. While it is true that I can put down a couple large Chux pads to sleep on (I have plenty of them thanks to my insurance), nonetheless, I would like to find a solution to the issue with leaks when I sleep on my side. Does anyone have any answers or helpful suggestions regarding this problem? These would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Not sure if you are interested in this but I went through a period of time and was only wearing flat diapers for adults and plastic pants I used diaper pins and snappis and never had any leaks from my diapers they do take little bit of time to get used to the folding but once you find a good fold for you then you will probably not have any leaky diapers just make sure to get the diaper tight as you can and still be comfortable as your diapers will stretch when you get it wetsrmousse said:LeakingOut, and others, what kind of cloth diapers are you using? I'm tired of leaks myself, (happens a couple times a month, when with better dry) and want to try some cloth diaper options, the pocket diaper I just bought is not great for side sleeping...
My thoughts reading through the replies gives me a thought of a possible solution. The problem is needing more absorbtion on the sides. If precut cloth diapers are used and are oversized you could run the front flaps behind you and then pull the back flaps more in front of you for pinning. Just a thought...AngelKitten said:Hi.
