Should I Use a Daytime or Overnight Incontinence Product?

Daytime and overnight products are designed around different routines. The best option depends on the wearer's output, mobility, desired level of discretion and how often a change is possible.

Daytime protection

Daytime products often have a slimmer profile and are designed to move with the wearer. They may be a good fit for work, errands, social activities and other situations where discretion and mobility are priorities.

Overnight protection

Overnight products generally provide more absorbent capacity for longer wear times and multiple voids. They may help reduce nighttime changes and interruptions when the product is correctly sized and applied.

Questions to consider

• How many hours will the product be worn?

• How much leakage typically occurs during that time?

• Can the wearer change independently, or is caregiver assistance needed?

• Does the wearer move frequently, remain seated or spend most of the time lying down?

• Is a slim profile more important, or is additional capacity the priority?

Some wearers use different products during the day and overnight. Always confirm the correct size and fit, because even a high-capacity product can leak when it is too large, too small or positioned incorrectly.
