Waking up with the urge to urinate overnight can be frustrating and inconvenient.  50 million adults in the U.S. suffer from nocturia, the need to urinate several times a night.  This number only increases with age. You may have urgency if you experience a strong urge to urinate that can be difficult to control. People with urge incontinence may also leak urine before reaching the toilet.  Not only can frequent nighttime bathroom visits impact your quality of sleep, but you’re also at risk for falls and injuries while navigating to the bathroom in the dark.  Keep reading to learn more about nighttime incontinence products to help give you a peaceful nights sleep again.

What are the Best Nighttime Incontinence Products?

If you’re tired of waking up at night for frequent bathroom visits or experiencing leak from urge incontinence, nighttime incontinence products like pads and pull up pants may seem like a good option.  While they may help manage wetness if you don’t make it to the restroom on time, they can be bulky, uncomfortable, lead to skin irritation, and the costs add up over time.  The best solution is addressing the source of your incontinence to avoid leaks and the urge to use the restroom at night all together.

No More Restroom Breaks: How to Stay Dry at Night

• While staying hydrated is important to your overall health and pelvic floor function, avoiding excessive fluid intake in the hours before bedtime can help with overnight bathroom breaks.
• It’s also helpful to limit alcohol and caffeine.  Both have diuretic properties and can increase urine production, leading to leaks and nighttime waking.
• Don’t forget a final bathroom visit to empty your bladder right before bed, even if you don’t feel the need to go.
