Question about overnight pads as a liner for incontinence panties...
Follow
Share
When my mom was able to go to the bathroom herself, I would put an overnight pad inside her extra large “panties” In the morning. During the day when she would wet the pad she was able to rip it out, pull up her “panties” and be good to go at least till evening. The XL were easier for her to manage and accommodated the extra pad.
When I was advised (by memory care staff) that the XL were too big that I switched to large. And THEN I found out that I should have been slitting the bottom of the pad to facilitate absorption OR using a different type of pad without the bottom barrier.
Anyone know which brand of overnight, extra long pad that would have been appropriate?

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. It sounds like your mother was using the pads as her main incontinence product and the pullup as reassurance, slitting the pads has them acting as a booster for those who routinely overflow, either way I don't think putting a pad inside is the best strategy. In my experience removing the pads without tearing the pullup liner was almost impossible and if the pad alone was adequate the pullup isn't needed - we really didn't need the pullups during the day until my mom became fecal incontinent. If it's extra absorbency you need it is probably more economical to pay for more a absorbent brief than to pay for two products.

Thank you for your response. Actually I found a way to remove part of the adhesive from the bottom of the pad by repeatedly pressing the sticky side against the cloth of my pant leg, before inserting it into the pull on. I like your idea of a better quality pull on but the problem was that she would try and rip out the crotch if she would notice any stains (fecal).
