Hello Gizmoman. I also experience night-time wetting, and heavy day-time wetting. You asked about a booster pad. As you've probably guessed it's a pad that goes inside the diaper to add absorbency. I've used this at times when I know I won't be able to change often or will be likely to wet more than usual. You can get specially designed booster pads, I understand, but I haven't used them myself. I sometimes use a couple of the booster pads that are made to go inside babies' nappies, or a washable cloth booster. Or quite often use another cheap incontinence pad inside the diaper, but with the waterproof backing of the inner pad slashed all over or removed. I think I've read somewhere else on this forum the suggestion that you could do this with a baby diaper, which might be cheaper.
When you're using a booster pad, it's important that the inner pad does NOT have waterproof backing, so that when the inner pad is full the wetness can run through into the outer pad, because otherwise leaks tend to occur. I also think it's best if the booster pad is narrower than the diaper particularly in the seat area, again to prevent leaks.
I hope that helped. Best wishes.

. So can anyone recomend me a good alternative or should I stay with what I got. Also protective underwear is out of the question because it leaks all the time with me. Thank you for any feedback.
