Bedwetting and Enuresis Information

Tyco Healthcare / Curity Sleep Pants

Tyco's Sleep Pants are distributed both to mainstream retail outlets, as well as co-branded for sale at Dollar General stores nationwide. They come in three sizes, although only the medium and large sizes are found at the Dollar General Stores. Medium fits 45-65 lbs, Large 65-85 lbs and XLarge 85-125 lbs. The larger size fits a lot smaller than Huggies GoodNites products, so children towards the high end of 115-125 lbs (or over) will want to purchase GoodNites rather than this product.

The briefs feature a lot of the features of the standard bedwetting and incontinence pants on the market, including Leak Barriers inside tohelp prevent side leakage, stretchy sides and waist for a snug fit, leg gathers, a super-dry core, and a colored thread to show the back of the brief. The colored thread, at least on the medium briefs, is aqua colored and took a minute to actually locate. The sides, waistband and leg gathers are very stretchy and provide a nice, snug fit, however the leg gathers have a lot of excess material past the elastic, which flares up.

The front absorbant panel does not go to the top of the brief, which means that children, especially boys, can have a tendancy to miss the absorbant padding while laying in bed if not careful. We have not yet tested the capacity of the brief.

These disposable underpants are comparable to GoodNites, but do not fit children towards the upper range of the size scale or higher. They should be good for sleepovers and staying away from home for light-wetters, but for teenagers we recommend GoodNites for both fit and capacity.

SleepPants can be found at Dollar General stores for $7/pack 17 (Medium). For a complete bed-wetting solution, we strongly recommend the use of a Malem bed-wetting alarm for night-time training.
