Adult Diapers for Overnight
& Heavy Bladder Leaks

Heavy Bladder Leakage (HBL) refers to moderate to severe bladder leaks that require more absorbent protection than light incontinence products can provide. NorthShore provides premium adult diapers and incontinence solutions that are engineered to keep you unbelievably dry and leak-free all day or all night so that you can focus on life, not leaks. A better night's sleep is closer than you think.


Light vs. Heavy Incontinence: Understanding the Difference

Understanding where you fall on this spectrum helps you choose the right products and management strategies for your needs. It’s also important to know that many store-brand incontinence products (even those labeled “maximum absorbency” or “overnight”) are primarily designed for LBL, which may leave people with HBL underprotected.

Light Bladder Leakage (LBL):

  • Sporadic, minor leaks (drops or small dribbles)
  • Often triggered by physical activity, sneezing, laughing, or coughing
  • Can usually be managed with panty liners or light pads
  • Predictable patterns tied to specific activities
  • Minimal impact on daily routines with appropriate light protection



Heavy Bladder Leakage (HBL):

  • Frequent or uncontrollable leaks with larger volumes
  • May occur with little or no warning
  • Requires specialized high-absorbency products
  • Often involves multiple voids throughout the day and night
  • Can significantly impact daily activities, sleep quality, and confidence without proper management
  • Bowel incontinence is typically categorized as heavy
