6 Best Overnight Adult Diapers of 2024
What is an Overnight Diaper?
Finding the best overnight adult diaper when dealing with incontinence is critical. Nighttime is often the longest period that your loved one will go without changing a diaper. That means finding the right diaper that will keep your loved one comfortable, dry, and leak-free is so important. Overnight diapers have a thick core that offers higher absorbency and capacity to handle multiple voids throughout the night.
These cores are designed to lock up moisture and keep the wearer dry throughout the night. Other overnight diapers might offer features like leg guards to prevent leakage, odor control panels, or external wetness indicators. Overnight diapers differ from other disposable diapers in that they tend to be slightly more expensive and are less discreet due to the added bulk in the core.
What are the different types of overnight adult diapers?
These products are ideal for anyone who is dealing with incontinence, especially those who are looking to cut down on nighttime changes and improve their sleep. These diapers will keep your loved one dry and comfortable, allowing for a full night’s rest. There are a range of products for overnight use, from pull ups to a tab style. A pull up style is ideal for someone who is looking for a more discreet product and is dealing with light to moderate incontinence.
A tab style is ideal for those who are bedbound, heavy-wetters, or need a bariatric size. All types of overnight diapers are good for heavy urinary incontinence and for bowel incontinence. Overnight diapers are also great for traveling, such as on a long flight, or anytime you know you’ll be away from a bathroom for an extended period of time. Whatever type of incontinence your loved one is dealing with, Carewell is sure to have the right product for your needs!
How do I pick the right overnight adult diaper?
It’s important to know how to choose the right product for your loved one so that you can be sure you’re getting full protection. Once you’ve decided which type of overnight diaper to go for (overnight or tab style) think about absorbency, size, skin sensitivity, and type of incontinence. Will your loved one need high or low absorbency based on frequency of voids? Will they need protection against bowel incontinence?
These are all import questions to consider, please reference individual product descriptions to find the answers to these questions. For sizing, we recommend taking exact waist and hip measurements and using the higher of those two numbers to pick a size. Sizing charts are located on the page for each individual product.

Caregiver Tip
Some wearers may choose to add a liner or booster pad to their overnight diaper. Booster pads can be a good option for those with bowel incontinence, those who sleep long hours and need extra protection, and those who want a cost-effective way to extend the life of their disposable diaper. Booster pads are the only type of pad that should be worn with a diaper and should not be worn with regular underwear.
