Finding the best incontinence pants for night
Individual needs and experiences with incontinence can differ, which is why it is essential to find a product that suits your body size, comfort preferences, level of incontinence and budget.
Comfort and dryness is important
Comfort is a must for a good night’s sleep. Night-time incontinence pants need to offer reliable absorbency while feeling soft and gentle on the skin. Buying low-cost incontinence pants might be gentler on your budget but if a product is stiff or causes rubbing, it can lead to irritation, making it harder to fall and stay asleep, not to mention the risk of the pants leaking in the night.
Comfortable night-time clothing also plays a key role. Breathable fabrics are important, especially if you have sensitive skin. Choose nightwear made from soft, lightweight materials that move with your body while you sleep.
Maintaining a feeling of dryness is also important for a good night’s sleep. Feeling wet, or leaks onto bedding and clothing can be very disruptive so it’s vitally important to choose a high absorbency product such as 8 Drop or 10 Drop from the MoliCare® range. This will ensure urine continues to be absorbed into the pants for the 8 hours you are asleep.
We recommend MoliCare® Premium Mobile in the 10 Drop absorbency which is available in sizes Medium to Extra Large. These incontinence pants for night feature MoliCare® SkinGuard® Absorbent Core Technology for an instant dry feeling and advanced skin protection.

1. Incontinence slips or adult nappies
When looking for the best night-time incontinence products for people who are bed or wheelchair bound and need help toileting, all-in-one products (slips) are often the most reliable choice. All-in-one slips are securely fastened and replace the need for additional underwear. They are specifically designed for extended wear, offering high absorbency and a snug fit to keep leaks at bay throughout the night.
Our range of incontinence slips are a trusted option for overnight use. The MoliCare® Slip for Night is a top performer, designed for managing moderate to heavy incontinence. These slips offer up to eight hours of protection, making them ideal if you are seeking the best all-night incontinence.
Why choose MoliCare® slips?
High absorbency: Built for heavy overnight use, these slips provide extended protection to support a full night’s sleep.
Secure fit: Features like re-closable side tapes and adjustable fitting keep the pad in place, even if you move in your sleep.

Whether you’re semi-mobile or receiving care from someone else, incontinence slips are among the best products for managing heavy incontinence.

2. Explore the MoliCare® Day & Night range
The Day & Night range offers incontinence protection around-the-clock. Each product style is available in two absorbency levels – day and night – making it easy to switch between routines without the guesswork.
What’s available in the range?
Pads: Worn with your normal underwear or fixation pants for a secure hold.
Pants: An easy pull-up design that replaces your normal underwear.
Adult slips: Ideal if you are receiving care in bed. This product offers high absorbency and a secure fit.
The night options offer enhanced absorbency, making them ideal for managing moderate to heavy leakage. Trusted by both carers and individuals, these products deliver a balance of comfort, convenience, and effective leak protection – making them one of the best night-time incontinence solutions available.

3. Washable and absorbent underwear
The MoliCare® absorbent and washable incontinence pants range combines comfort, discretion and sustainability to deliver the best solution for light bladder weakness. This reusable range is available for both men and women and is ideal if you prefer an eco-friendlier approach and don’t want to rely on disposable products.
Here’s why you should choose MoliCare® washable and absorbent underwear for your protection needs:
Reusable: Can be washed and reused multiple times, helping reduce plastic waste and saving money over time.
Discreet design: Designed to look like normal underwear with a slim, seamless fit that works under pyjamas.
Comfortable materials: Made with soft, breathable fabric to avoid skin irritation, even with overnight wear.
Reliable absorbency: Moisture-wicking and absorbent layers ensure you stay dry throughout the night.
Easy care: Machine washable at high temperatures and safe for tumble drying.
If you’re managing light incontinence and want the best incontinence pants for night-time that offer both comfort and discretion, this range is a great alternative to disposable options.

4. Incontinence bed protection for extra reassurance
Even the best incontinence products may need extra support at night – that’s where bed protection comes in. MoliCare® incontinence bed sheets are designed to catch any leaks that might occur overnight – giving you peace of mind and a better night’s sleep.
Whether you prefer washable or disposable options, there’s a solution to suit your needs. Washable bed sheets can be reused up to 250 times, offering long-term protection and cost savings.
Benefits of MoliCare® bed sheets:
Leak protection: Keeps bedding and mattresses dry and clean, even during heavy leakage.
Comfortable: Soft top layers prevent skin irritation.
Discreet: Thin and low-profile – won’t feel bulky under sheets.
Versatile: Suitable for use on beds, chairs or car seats.
Available in multiple absorbency levels: Choose between 5, 7 or 9 drops depending on your needs.
Pairing bed sheets with the best incontinence pants for heavy leakage can make your night-time routine easier and stress-free. Whether you’re managing incontinence yourself or supporting someone who is, this added layer of protection helps you sleep without worry.

Don’t overlook night-time skincare
Looking after your skin is just as important as choosing the right absorbency product. Moisture and friction can contribute to discomfort or even incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). To avoid this, it's a good idea to pair your chosen protection with a regular skincare routine.
HARTMANN’s incontinence skin care is designed to soothe and protect fragile skin. Whether you’re using pads for mild to moderate night leaks, adding a skin barrier product can make a big difference in your comfort and hygiene.
Key products to consider:
Skin Barrier Cream – Forms a protective layer between your skin and moisture, helping to prevent irritated skin from forming.
Zinc Oxide Cream – A type of barrier cream that supports skin healing. Especially useful if your skin is already irritated or showing signs of rash from prolonged exposure.
Not sure which to use? Both products act as moisture barriers, but zinc oxide creams are particularly helpful when the skin is already irritated, while regular barrier creams are ideal for ongoing prevention.
Moist skincare tissues are a convenient and time-saving alternative to dry toilet tissue for intimate cleansing. Handy for quick night-time cleans or when you're on the go.
All products in the MoliCare® skincare range are dermatologically tested, free from harsh chemicals and suitable for daily use. If you are using incontinence pads, skincare isn’t just a bonus – it’s an essential part of your routine.

FAQs
What type of night-time product do you recommend for restless sleepers?
If you move a lot during sleep, look for night-time incontinence pads with a snug but flexible fit, elasticated sides, and secure fastening (like reclosable tapes).
Will thick night-time incontinence pants be bulky under pyjamas or nightwear?
Not necessarily. Advanced materials used in modern incontinence products like in the MoliCare® range, allow for high absorbency with minimal bulk. For added discretion, opt for close-fitting net or fixation pants, or choose products made from breathable, elastic fabrics designed to sit flat under clothing.
