Hello, I am asking on behalf of my Mother who cares full time for my Father. A recent problem we have been having is that despite wearing incontinence pads he is still managing to wet the bed almost nightly. We have a washable absorbent mat under the sheets but having to change the sheets and wash everything daily is starting to stress us out and worry about electricity/water use from having to run the washer daily. We are unsure exactly what is happening but the assumption is he is getting up in the night to use the toilet and then unable to correctly pull the pants back on himself. We have tried getting him to urinate before bed yet this has done little to change anything.
When searching online the only thing I really found was an old thread on this site but a lot of the links were dead.
One of the things mentioned was a sort of onsie special needs suit which is difficult to remove by yourself, but I was having trouble finding such a thing on any UK stores. I am also worried that if he did wear one then he might be agitated if he wakes up in the night and tries to go to the toilet instead of just using the pads, but I suppose that may just need to be something he will have to adjust to.
Has anyone had a similar problem and have any insight into these suits or any other methods we could employ to prevent this constant wetting?
