If you’re dealing with nighttime leaks, you’re not alone! It can be frustrating to wake up in the middle of the night feeling uncomfortable, but the good news is that there are simple ways to prevent leaks and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. With the right incontinence products and a few smart tricks, you can stay dry and comfortable all night long.
Leaks can happen for a variety of reasons, but here are some of the most common culprits:
Wrong Size – If your product is too small, it won’t provide enough coverage, and if it’s too big, it might gap and let leaks escape. Need help measuring? Check out our guide to measuring properly here.
Not Enough Absorbency – Not all adult diapers and incontinence briefs are made for overnight use. If your current product isn’t cutting it, try a high-absorbency overnight option.
Weak Leg Elastics or Guards – If the leg cuffs aren’t snug enough, leaks can sneak out. Look for products with strong leak guards and snug leg elastics.
Tabs or Tapes Not Secure – If you’re using a tab-style adult diaper, make sure the fasteners are positioned correctly to create a secure fit.
If your product fits well but you’re still experiencing leaks, it might be time to add a little extra protection. Here are some simple solutions:
Try a Booster Pad – Booster pads go inside your main product to increase absorbency and extend wear time. They’re a great way to add extra protection without switching products. Check out our booster pad collection here.
Use Underpads for Extra Backup – Adding a washable or disposable underpad to your bed can provide an extra layer of protection, keeping your bedding dry just in case. They come in different sizes and absorbencies to fit your needs. Check out our underpad collection here.

Tranquility Premium Overnight Underwear | NorthShore MEGAMAX Adult Diapers | |
"My 91 year old mom couldn't find a pull up that would keep her dry over night. She was delighted to find the Tranquility brand kept her the driest over night. | "By far the best for heavy nighttime urination. Having colour options is nice too for adults as it visually looks less like a diaper" |
"The capacity is incredible, truly a diaper you don't need to think or worry about leaks overnight at all."
