Pull up pants are incontinence pants that feel just like normal underwear. Many people prefer these pants to pads, as they can provide a more discreet feel.
Unlike some shaped pads, pull up pants will not move around in the night and ruin your night’s sleep or allow for leaks.
Choosing Overnight Pull Ups for Adults
Having a reliable pant for night time is important, as you will be wearing it for a long period of time without changes. Ensure you consider the following factors when looking for a pant:
High Absorption
Try and look for a more absorbent level than the pants you would wear in the day time. With night time products, it is extra important to choose a high absorbency level that will keep you dry. You should generally aim to choose Maxi, Super and Extra absorbency.
Consider your Mobility
Consider your mobility levels when looking for an incontinence pant. Some pants feature an elasticated band, whereas others have tear-away side seams which can be quicker to remove. Pants with side seams are recommended for individuals with functional incontinence or low mobility.
Suitable Material for Your Skin
If you have sensitive skin, hypoallergenic inner material prevents skin infections and rashes.If your skin doesn’t react well to latex, you can find latex free material products. It is also recommended to use a soft material waistband that allows the skin to fully breathe. Most pants offer a breathable outer covering that prevents stuffiness and helps the skin breathe.

Comfort is also hugely important when choosing a night time products. It is recommended to buy a sample product to ensure it is comfortable on your skin before using them during the night.
A Close Fit

Managing Incontinence at Night: Our Tips
- Invest in a good bed pad. A good bed pad will protect your bedding from any accidental leaks, allowing you to have a good night’s sleep.
- Cut down on fluids before bed. Don’t avoid fluids altogether, as dehydration can irritate the bladder. However, try not to drink a lot of fluids in the evening and late afternoon.
- Try a bed wetting alarm. In a bedwetting alarm, a special sensor causes a bell or buzzer to go off at the start of urination. This ensures you get out of bed and reach the toilet before having an accident.
- Do bladder training exercises to improve your urinary control. Practising holding your urine for longer during the day can train your bladder and help prevent leaks.
- Enquire about medication. If natural treatment methods have not worked for you, you can ask your Doctor about any medication that would be suitable for you.

Hi thx for taking my concerns. My dad with parkinson’s has VERY sensitive skin. His skin becomes red and trashy and his private area become very red (like a strawberry color) and sensitive to the touch, which is being cause by just the diaper tubing ( friction from trying to move). The inconsistency of hi leakage of his bowel is causing laundry every day but a diaper is causing his private area much discomfort
.HELP PLEASE. I’m hoping you just what the good Dr ordered (JS).
