What Are The Best Adult Pampers?

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, AK

My husband who has Alzheimer’s has to wear adult pampers at night. I have bought so many brands but none seem to “hold” (pee”) . Most of the time I have to get up in the middle of the night to clean and change his pampers….including his pajamas and shirt.
If you know of a brand that your loved one is using and can hold a lot, please let me know.
My husband doesn’t drink any liquids passed 6pm. I thank you in advance!

We're also using the Depends brand, and like @A myALZteam Member, we also have the Depends guards pictured above, which go inside the Depends, for larger surges. So far, so good.

The bed hasn't gotten wet yet, but that's ready too: I have a waterproof mattress pad on the entire mattress, and then on his side of the bed, there's a large washable waterproof mat, plus two Depends disposable bed pads, all below the sheet (so he can't feel it or move it all around as he sleeps).

I haven’t had to use them yet, but have them on hand. I would believe they’d help a lot. You add them to the inside of whatever you’re using.
