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.
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

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.
What Makes the MoliCare Slip Junior Different
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
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.
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 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 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.
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 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.

Understanding the 8-Drop Rating
8-Drop: Hartmann's highest absorbency level for this range
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.
