LHouse93: One possible solution would be to use Northshore Care Supplies' excellent Mega Max diaper. It's a super premium diaper with a plastic outer shell. It features great tapes that land on a very heavyweight smooth plastic taping area. Even though the tapes are very strong they can be removed and re-taped many times without damaging the diaper. The capacity is so great that it will last at least 8-10 hours for most people. Here's another possibility. Since it has such strong tapes and an elastic waist I usually just pull the Mega Max down (rear first), use the toilet, and pull it back up again. The tapes and landing area are so strong that it will not tear anything but of course you will have to rearrange the wings once back up. I've done this many times and even though I have a large rear it still works just fine. It's also much quieter than removing the tapes. |

I agree with Padded there about the tapes on Megamax. They're virtually indestructible. I use them, but try to sparingly because they aren't cheap. Something else you could look at: there are Abena Abri-San pads that are basically a brief without the tape and sides. They have the leak guards and give you a full fit like a tape brief would. I found these recently and I think they work pretty well. They're also half the cost as the Abena M4. I have had pretty good luck with these inside some snug fitting underwear and plastic pants. There are a lot of sizes so check the sizing. Good luck. |

LHouse93 Have you considered cloth? I too can have heavy wetting but often can make it to the toilet. PUL pants and a cloth diaper can be slid down to pee and then pulled up and the diaper re-pinned if necessary. Since I am retired I am around home more so the bulk of cloth isn't a problem. Adultclothdiaper.com has a varied selection. I use flats with inserts rather than prefolds as they don't take such a long drying cycle. I was using way too many disposables before. Now I just use them for public places. Also I sleep on my sides and I needed coverage (cloth and waterproof pants) over a disposable so I wouldn't have side leaks. A heavy layer of cloth diaper and PUL pants does just fine. Stan |

Lhouse93: I didn't mention it but you took a page right out of my book! I almost always add a Male Guard pad to my MegaMax and with a change or two of the pads the MegaMax will usually last all day. I do change my diaper before bed (and use different night protection) but even though the MegaMax's are quite expensive using this "system" the cost per month is at least reasonable. Thanks for the update. |
