I started out with Depends purchased at the local store, then tried a sampler package from HDIS, then some other brands , and finally found out about Abena. I tried the Supers and Xplus and found the Supers were not absorbent enough, while the Xplus were so thick that not having the dreaded diaper buldge would require pants a size or two larger, and they also did not hold up that well over time - padding would slump. Then Gary at XP medical (this is not a paid endorsement for that company) recommended trying the Extras. I never see the Extras mentioned but they have turned out to be the best diapers I've tried. They use additional polymer to keep the thinkness down, while providing about the same absorbency as the Xplus, the only down side to the extra polymer is a slower absorency rate.

ChrisS,
Thanks for you suggestion on the type diaper you have found. Welcome to the forum, too. There are a bunch of diapers out there. The only way you're going to find what works for you is trial and error......Paul Martin

Hi Chris
I find with the X plus if I wear a pair of tight fitting brief style panties over them it helps keep the diaper in place and prevents the slump as you put it. Also I'm a big fan of plastic pants over my diapers no matter what brand/type I'm wearing You may want to try the underwear. If you do give us some feedback on it.........................Sandy

Hi Chris, I also wear the Abena extra during the day with a pair of Kins bikini cut plastic paints to hold up any sagging that happens and to catch any small amount of leakage that should get through, and use the x-plus with a brief cut Kins for a cover at night. No more damp bed.
