Hartmann's MoliCare Slip Junior is now available here on our site at incontinenceproducts.com.au.

Finding a continence brief that actually fits a child is harder than it should be. Most products on the market are adult designs scaled down; and for children with thinner legs, smaller frames or complex medical needs, they simply don't perform the way they need to. The MoliCare Slip Junior is designed from the ground up for junior bodies - and it is a meaningful step forward for families, carers and clinicians looking for a better option.

Product Overview

What Is the MoliCare Slip Junior?

MoliCare Slip Junior is an all-in-one, 4 tab-style continence brief produced by Hartmann; one of the world's leading manufacturers of clinical healthcare products. It is designed specifically for children and smaller body types under 40kg, including individuals who require additional support due to physical disability or reduced mobility.

The product is intended for severe urinary and faecal incontinence and carries 8-drop absorbency - Hartmann's highest level for this category. Available in XS/S covering hip circumferences from 50 to 80 cm, it comes in packs of 15 and is fully latex-free and dermatologically tested. Importantly, this is not a modified adult product. The leg circumference, core placement, tape positioning and dimensions are specific to the junior body shape.

Indications and Suitability

Who Is the MoliCare Slip Junior Designed For?

Suitable for

  • Children with urinary or faecal incontinence - including neurogenic bladder or bowel dysfunction, developmental delay, or age-related continence challenges
  • Children with physical disability - cerebral palsy, spina bifida, spinal muscular atrophy, and conditions affecting mobility and self-care
  • Post-surgical patients - children recovering from urological, colorectal or orthopaedic procedures
  • Smaller body types - adolescents or adults with hip circumference within 50-80 cm not suited to standard adult sizing
  • Carer-assisted changing contexts - where tab-style fastening is preferred for ease and safe changing technique

The Clinical Need

Why Junior-Specific Products Matter

Childhood incontinence is more common than most people realise. Despite these numbers, the available product range has historically been limited to adult designs that don't fit junior proportions - leg openings too wide, cores mispositioned, tapes misaligned. The result is product failure: leaks, skin irritation, discomfort and lost dignity.

Product Features

What Makes the MoliCare Slip Junior Different

Smaller Leg Cutouts

35% Smaller Leg Cutouts*

35% smaller than MoliCare Slip 6D XS/S - closing the gap at the thigh that causes side leakage on children. Keeps the product in position during movement, sitting and lying down.

Anti-Leakage System

Anti-Leakage System

Standing leakage cuffs run along the inner leg edges, creating a barrier during movement and extended wear. Combined with the junior leg fit, this significantly reduces side leakage risk.

Re-Closable Tapes

4 Re-Closable Tapes

Two pairs of re-fastenable tapes allow checking without full removal and re-securing without wasting the product - ideal for carer-assisted, lying-down changes.

8-Drop Absorbency

8-Drop High Absorbency

Widened absorbent core with superabsorbent polymers for severe urinary and faecal incontinence. Fast absorption keeps skin drier between changes and reduces IAD risk.

Odour Neutralising

Odour Neutralising Technology

Built into the textile-like back sheet; reduces the social impact of incontinence in classrooms and social settings - a factor directly relevant to a child's daily quality of life.

Breathable Back Sheet

Soft, Breathable Back Sheet

Quiet, textile-like outer sheet; no plastic rustling for discretion in school settings. Breathability supports skin health and reduces maceration risk during extended wear.

Dermatologically Tested

Dermatologically Tested and Latex-Free

Confirmed latex-free and dermatologically tested; safe for children with latex sensitivity. Gentle on sensitive or compromised skin during day and overnight use.

Absorbency Guide

Understanding the 8-Drop Rating

8-Drop: Hartmann's highest absorbency level for this range

8-Drop Absorbency

Hartmann's drop system rates absorbency from 3 (light) through to 8 (severe). The MoliCare Slip Junior's 8-drop rating indicates suitability for severe urinary and faecal incontinence; reliable day and overnight without compromising comfort.

Selecting the correct absorbency level matters for both skin health and product efficiency. Where there is uncertainty, a continence assessment is the most reliable way to match product to clinical need.

Choosing the Right Product

Is the MoliCare Slip Junior Right for This Patient?

Consider when

MoliCare Slip Junior is likely appropriate

  • Hip circumference 50-80 cm
  • Severe or heavy incontinence; urinary or faecal
  • Carer-assisted changes required
  • Overnight protection needed

Consider alternatives when

A different product may suit better

  • Light to moderate incontinence only
  • Hip circumference outside 50-80 cm range
  • Unsure of absorbency level needed - seek assessment
