Bedwetting and Enuresis Information

Tranquility ATN (All-Through-The-Night) Diapers

Disposable diapers for bed-wetting should be the last effort to handle severe bed-wetting and daytime childhood incontinence. For an older child, being put back into diapers is an extremely emotional event and should be handled with care. Youth diapers and diapers for older children should never be used as punishment for wetting the bed, and a child should never be forced to wear diapers for any reason. For a more long-term solution to bed-wetting, we strongly recommend the use of a bed-wetting alarm for night-time training with the combination of GoodNites underpants for sleepovers.

The information provided below for Tranquility ATN diapers is provided for families dealing with complete or severe childhood incontinence.

The Tranquility ATN (All-Through-the-Night) disposable briefs are available in a Youth size that fits waist sizes from 18" - 26". The brief features the Tranquility Peach Mat lining which offers protection against skin dryness, reduces odor, and neutralizes bacteria growth. There are 4 tape taps, two on each side that are refastenable, but easilly tear if pulled too fast. The brief also has Lycra leg gathers to help protect against leakage.

If you are looking for a form-fitting brief, this is not one you should consider. Despite including Lycra leg gathers in the leg opening of the diaper, both the front and the back of the waistband do not contain any type of elastic support system. Not having elastic at the waist can cause the brief to stretch and lose its shape over time. You can notice the lack of elastic in the photos of the product below. This can be especially inconvenient at night, when the front of the diaper stretched and no longer protects from night-time, horizontal use.

The brief features a soft outer shell, which is comparable to the "cloth-like" covers being found in other baby, youth and adult diapers on the market. The inner absorbant core contains several small gel particles that will become a mess if the tape tabs tear the cover of the brief, or it is otherwise punctured.

The ATN brief has a capacity rating of 547 ml or 18.5 oz. During our tests, the brief held up very well and contained almost 24 oz. before a noticeable leak.

Tranquility ATN (All-Through-the-Night) briefs can be found at Vitaliy Medical for $8.26 for a package of 10, or 100 for $69.78.

REMEMBER: Disposable diapers should not be used as punishment for bed-wetting or any other behavioral issues. Youth diapers are recommended only for complete or heavy incontinence. For normal bed-wetting, we strongly recommend the use of a Malem bed-wetting alarm for night-time training and GoodNites underpants for sleepovers away from home.
