How do they work for a side sleeper? My husband's sides are always wet. Depend & Assurance briefs have no absorbency on the sides .

That was my husband's problem. Leaked when slept on side. If slept on back ok. My husband rarely does in diaper so the few times he went in these they leaked.

My mother in law only sleeps on her back so I really don't know how they would work with a side sleeper, but they work great for her. Possibly some pads on the side would help. Good luck.

Just read all the other responses and agree that the Depends for well and for that reason use it as the middle pair. I wash bedding and clothing so often now, it is "routine" . I keep 3 sets of sheets and blankets so I can rotate (nothing heavy weight so they can be waged and dried quickly) and even though have a queen mattress, use twin blanket/quilt so there is less to get "wet". Good luck....3 years of Alzheimer's ...six months of incontinence.

I have not found this to be a problem; however, I am using them for my sister. The mere fact that you are talking about a male could completely change the answer. I would think that the problem is not in the pull-up but in his anatomy. You may need to make sure he is on his side before falling asleep and that his penis is established into the middle of the pull-up to prevent the sides from getting wet. This is just a suggestion and it depends on what he will allow you to do. As far as absorbancy goes the Tranquility is far superior to the brands you would buy at the store.

based on my experience,almost two years of incontinence I use only the DEPEND REAL FIT size S/M even being a size 38 (178 lbs) needs to be real tight plus one or two TRANQUILITY BOOSTER PADS set just below the belt;one front ,one back it adds a certain layer of absorbancy.they may be set before putting the diaper on or put on the diaper and slide in one or more booster pads while you are wearing the diaper;it is the best solution I have found so far;open for better suggestions! incontinence is hell.......good luck.

My husband moves around and sleeps on all sides. I put several pairs of different brands on him at all times AND a pair of rubber pants. I do feel that the tranquility are the most absorbent and do like the real-fit depends under them. And a cheaper store brand first. This way I ca

Not 100% sure why, your having issues. Is it the liners leaking for the outer diaper cover? I'm taking a guess & thinking possible a few reasons. 1- Not washed according to MFG directions. Maybe to much detergent has built up & is now preventing the liners from doing their job? 2- Also, I don't put the liners or the covers in dryer. Mine air dry. 3- I have about 4 days worth of diaper liners & covers. So mine are not used daily.They are rotated. If you have been using the same 2 dozen for the last 10 months, Maybe it's just wearing out. 4- I don't need or use any type of diaper cream, If you do, perhaps that is building up. As my daughter got older, I too found it necessary to use 2 lines, during naps. Post here if you found out why this is happening. Now I'm curious

I am also a back sleeper and love it for my knees. I also noticed that Carex has a memory foam knee pillow that looks like it is for side sleeper, you might check that out too.

My little guy sleeps with it. Nor sure about side sleepers just because he only weights 50 lbs. Had no issue in the past year. Very comfy.

Yes! They stay in really well. And I definitely have slept with them a few times and they have never fallen out. And I sleep on my side too!

Yeah I have noticed that, because I sleep alone on my queen size one and I have to switch sides every couple of months. Other wise once side would be deeper than the other :/ also its becoming a bit too soft for me.

I have owned a couple sets of these sheets for at least 6 months and absolutely love them. Because the elastic is on the entire perimeter, the sheets stay in place much better than regular twin sheets. However, for some strange reason,the sheets on my husband's side of the bed slips often. I think that he is simply a rough sleeper. I have raised my side of the bed to an almost full 90 degrees without the sheet slipping. I turn often in my sleep and the sheet stays in tact. In order to test whether it was a different sizing or better elastic on one sheet, we switched our sheets. Lo and behold, the slipping happened again, so I concluded that it is just my husband!

I'd consider the boxer briefs in place of these, Paul. These aren't too baggy, but I wear suits to work and sometimes these inch their way up in to the danger zone. It's not much of an issue though, because they're so light weight and comfortable. Nonetheless, I'd say play it safe and get the boxer briefs instead.

My husband is the one who uses the cot. He said it is extremely comfortable for side sleepers. Since it is oversized one has plenty of room to move around. He loves his Kwik Cot.

Not very well unless they are snug fitting briefs. Boxers are just too roomy to work.I found the regular tight brief to be best for my husband.

The Prevails pkg labeled "very absorbent" are the most absorbent. My husband thinks the Walgreens brand of male guards may be a little more absorbent. He also wears very snug fitting underwear to hold the pad tightly in place.

I sleep on my side, and I have no problem. I have been sleeping with these every night for years and they are the greatest! Sometimes when i wake up it's off but they are perfect for helping you fall asleep. I recommend this product.

I didn't have that problem at all, these are denim and denim tends to stretch back out. If you're concerned, wash and hang dry... these really are the best of the best product for our male incontinent babies.

They are a little on the small side for that. I prefer these: Carters 2 Pack Keep Me Dry Quilted Crib Pad. They machine wash and dry perfectly.

We try to always keep them upright, but we have never had issues with them leaking when on their side. I'm not sure if that goes for when they are on their side for an extended period of time
