Many of our children have to deal with incontinence on a daily basis. They need to have the reassurance they are not going to be embarrassed while with their friends or in public with their family. We carry the sizes made specifically for the ages of the older toddler, school age children, youth, and smaller teens.

We carry a wide variety of brands to choose from. The youth briefs will have many of the features of the adult briefs, yet in a form shaped for the smaller body. The rise in these briefs is shorter than in the adult briefs along with a crotch that is a little narrower to accommodate the smaller shorter body. These smaller made briefs allow for a proper fit, which in turn will keep the urine inside the brief. Our youth briefs are made to fit this size person yet some of them have the absorption needed for nighttime bedwetting. The brief needs to fit snug around the legs to prevent leakage. These briefs are made to open up like a diaper for easy adjustment.

There are a few pointers for choosing the size and style for your child. You need to measure the waist at the belly button and also measure the widest point on the hips. You use the larger of this waist and hip measurement against a product table to determine the size to buy. You will also need an accurate weight of the teen or child. Some of the brands have their briefs sized by weight and some of the brands will size their briefs by measurements, and yet a few brands measure by both. It is really important to purchase the correct size. The absorption does not change much between sizes.

The Tranquility brand is a great overnight brief with high absorption. Some of the Tranquility’s special features include odor control, high absorption, iron neutralizing, latex-free. and a special peach mat absorbent inner core.

The Prevail is another popular nighttime brief and is quite comfortable. The Prevail would make a great daytime brief for the child or teen that needs both day and night protection. Some of its special features are easy lock tabs, odor guard, outer panels that breathe, and layers that are quick wicking to keep the skin dry. The outer materials are cloth like and soft. Prevail is more sleek and discrete than Tranquility, but overnight products from Tranquility absorb more.

The brief style is great for the child with special needs. Some of the styles have leg cuffs to help prevent the leakage. Dealing with incontinence in an adolescent child can be a hassle if there is constant worry of leakage. The proper fit and absorption will prevent this issue.

For a reusable brief with tabs that helps protect against fecal incontinence when the child is in the pool, try the SoSecure swim diaper. This product protects children with special needs and other children with fecal incontinence. It lets them swim again.
