Waking to wet sheets, cold dampness, or a leaked disposable is a frustrating reality for many adults and carers. Nighttime protection needs a completely different approach to daytime care.
Most disposable products are designed for daytime use — optimised for a body that is sitting or standing. When you lie down, gravity changes how fluid moves.
When you roll over, the pressure of your body weight squeezes liquid out of the disposable paper pulp.
Disposables lack the robust, elasticated barriers needed to seal around the thighs while lying on your side.
A single disposable rarely holds the volume required for multiple heavy releases over an 8 to 10 hour period.
For reliable overnight protection you need a two-part system: a maximum-absorbency core to lock away fluid, and a heavy-duty waterproof barrier to seal it in.
The Core
Our Fitted Nappies are the gold standard for night use. Unlike pocket nappies, the entire garment is made from thick, thirsty layers of bamboo cotton and hemp blends — so protection wraps entirely around your hips and waist, absorbing fluid no matter what position you sleep in.

For heavy wetters, a standard nappy isn't always enough to last 8 hours or more. Adding a Universal Snap-In Insert drastically increases your capacity.
Hemp & Bamboo Cotton
Absorb deeply and hold fluid under pressure, preventing compression leaks.
Fleece Stay-Dry Layer
Channels moisture away from skin immediately, keeping you dry through the night.
The Shield
A fitted nappy absorbs incredibly well, but it needs a Waterproof Wrap Cover over the top. Our wraps feature gentle but highly effective elasticated double leg gussets — creating a secure seal around your thighs and waist so that even if you sleep on your side, fluid cannot escape.

Place your Waterproof Wrap Cover flat on a surface, ready to receive the nappy.
Secure your 5-Layer Universal Insert into the Fitted Nappy. If you are an exceptionally heavy wetter, you can add a secondary MiniVivi pad underneath it.
Fit the nappy to the body. Ensure a snug fit around the legs with no gaps. If you have limited dexterity, our Velcro Adapters make this easier to manage.
Put the waterproof cover over the fitted nappy. Make sure none of the fabric from the inner nappy is poking out of the edges — this can cause moisture to wick onto clothing or sheets.
Carer tip: prepare two bundles ahead of time. If a change is needed overnight, you can swap without hunting for components in the dark.
