A PureWick Alternative for Women
In one paragraph: Quietdry's Women's Night System is an overnight urine-collection system for women in bed at night. Instead of a disposable wick that is replaced regularly, a contoured, washable silicone cup with a soft raised rim is held in place by a cotton brief. A sensor in the cup starts a small rechargeable bedside pump when urine arrives and stops it when the cup is empty, draining into a 2 L jug. No wicks to reorder. US$299, free tracked US shipping, 60-night money-back trial.
Wick vs cup: the practical difference
| Wick-based (PureWick™, Surity®) | Cup-based (Quietdry) | |
|---|---|---|
| Placement | A soft absorbent wick is tucked between the labia and gluteal folds; continuous low suction draws urine through it | A contoured silicone cup sits against the body, held by a brief; suction runs only when the sensor detects urine |
| What you rebuy | External catheters in packs of 30 — PureWick from $209.70, Surity from $176.70 per 30 | No wicks; the cup and two briefs wash and reuse. One small sensor tip is replaced as it wears |
| Up-front cost | PureWick women's starter $538.70–$794.69; Surity system $386–$497 | US$299 |
| Insurance | Medicare Part B can cover PureWick via a DME supplier when criteria are met | Cash only; HSA/FSA depends on your plan |
| Track record | Used in hospitals, with published clinical studies | New brand, no clinical studies |

Is a cup right for her?
Good fit if: she spends the night in bed, lies on her back or side, doesn't have an indwelling catheter, and you are paying for wicks yourself.
Think twice if: she moves about a lot at night or gets out of bed, a covered PureWick is available to her, or the care team has concerns about the skin in that area.
Setting it up
- Snap the cup into the brief at the four stud points.
- Put the brief on with her lying down; adjust the waist tab and side straps snug, not tight.
- Check the rim sits flat against the body, connect the tube, switch the unit on.
- In the morning: empty the jug, rinse the cup and tubing in warm water, launder the brief and fit the spare.

Questions
Does it work lying on the side?
The women's cup has a soft raised rim shaped for side-lying, and the brief holds it when she turns. Check the seal after turns for the first few nights.
Does anything go inside the body?
No. It is fully external.
What if it doesn't suit her?
You have 60 nights from delivery: a full refund, or a different fit at no charge. Worn cups and briefs don't need to be sent back.
Is it a treatment?
No. It collects urine; it does not treat incontinence or any condition.
