Kay, There are many Internet and mail-order companies that sell plastic pants in sizes for older children, teenagers, and adults. You can find a large variety at www.plastic-pants.com. Be sure to include the hyphen between the words plastic and pants, or you will not get to the right site. I can also direct you to a listing of other companies if you like. Plastic pants over disposable diapers will help a little, but if the leaking has been extensive, you might want to try one of several alternatives for increasing the absorbency of his diaper. We use cloth diapers, because it is always possible to add additional layers. Or you can insert disposable pads inside his disposable diaper to increase absorbency. Another option, which is considerably more expensive, is to have him wear two disposable diapers at a time, with the plastic on the inside diaper cut in several places. That way, as it becomes soaked, the wetness begins to fill the outer diaper. Which ever decision you make about the diapers, adding plastic pants is a good idea.
