On a couple of sites i have seen people with urge incontinence with heavy voids recommend the incontrol elite hybrid diaper. I have ordered a case to try and see if it actually eclipses the betterdry.

While I was ordered i stumbled across rearz “critter caboose” which is a new diaper that boasts an absurd 8000 ml absorption and while the cartoonish plastic makes me want to vomit, if this is a diaper that can actually last 8-12 hours without leaking from my surges, I felt I had to try them.

Every other diaper (dry24, megamax, betterdry) even with a booster leaks after 3-4 voids causing me to have to change wet pants by the time I get home. I have an hour+ commute to and from work and no privacy to change while there. These diapers are probably very very conspicuous when saturated but my work clothing covers my pants so no one can really see the bulge. My wife had told me to get what works, so I am experimenting. I will post here what I learn.

Let us know what you find with these. Not only the absorbency, but the fit as well.

The first diaper, the elite hybrid is ok but because it is a mostly gel diaper it does not wick so a seated surge caused it to quickly go over my lap and leak. I ordered a small in this since my waist is a 34 and I think a medium might have served me better.

The critter caboose came in today and I am wearing the first one. The look absolutely ridiculous. That said, the mediums fit very well and survived three seated surges without overwhelming it. This diaper seems to be living up to the hype as it has definitely eclipsed a betterdry with booster on its own making it’s $3 a brief price tag not out of line for those who need a diaper that can take multiple floods. The critter caboose is not stiff and becomes very squishy when wet as opposed to the firmness that remains when a betterdry is wet. But it hasn’t broken down, it just feels full of sap. I can see why some are planning to switch to this as their go to staple diaper. I am just hoping rearz comes out with a varient that isn’t so embarrassing to wear

Incidentally I saw there is a diaper that is supposedly even better called Trest but unless my searching was completely off the price is near $5 per brief which is unacceptable for any budget.

I'm not comfortable with Trest for a different reason, namely that I can't figure out who makes them. They seem like a fly-by-night outfit and I am just not willing to trust them with a product that goes next to my skin all day.

I don't find the velcro tapes of the Elite Hybrid comfortable. They dig into my leg. I'm happier with the adhesive tapes. That's probably something that differs from person to person though!

How do you think an FSA (healthcare flexible spending account) would view a receipt that says Critter Caboose on it? That's my main concern. I trust Rearz, quality-wise and safety-wise.

Since I ordered the case I will use the diapers from in control. The rearz diaper really is performing well with my tests. Sundays are the main day that I need that level of coverage so I am hopeful to see if I can make it home with dry pants.

Unfortunately the receipt does say the silly name and had a picture of it. I wonder if the company would send you an invoice that denotes high capacity incontinence brief for urge incontinence? That would be a customer service question I suppose.

So let me preface by saying, I don’t think this is normal, but my output is quite a bit and it comes in surges of all sizes, but can be complete bladder emptying. As a result, my flooding usually means I will get 2-3 wettings before a diaper leaks over my lap.

As I said earlier, I was tired of Coming home with wet pants on Sundays after work. It was refreshing to not have leaks outside of the transference through the edges to my bodystocking.

This diaper is different. Every other diaper I have used usually maintains a level of firmness even when wet. These feel as though they are almost nothing but sap. As I sat down for the first time in hours after 3-4 wettings I felt a giant squish as materials parted under my weight. This would normally mean I have to clean out my car’s seat because it would mean I had devastating leak. Only…. It had not leaked. I got home after wetting twice more during the hour long drive. I tested sitting in the floor. More shifting if material, again no leak.

At this point I am fascinated and wonder how far can this go? At $3+ a diaper it would need to outperform 2 diapers to be a feasible economical diaper.

I went for a trip to the park with my young son. Voided while walking. No leakage. Came home and voided again. Sat down and it finally had press out leak. The sap had begun to travel up the back of the diaper, an area never usually utilized. And while this was press out it wasn’t gushing out. If I had been wearing my terry-lined plastic pants that I wear at night, I could have conceivably gone even further with this test. Still that was comfortably 5:30 am - 4:30 pm. A lot of diapers claim 12 hour capacity, this one actually delivered. Even with all of that movement the diaper held its form.

Now, one day does not prove anything, but I am amazed at the capacity of this diaper. It is beyond overkill for anyone who does not have floods, but if you flood routinely with your OAB, this feels like a godsend…
. I have to go through 3 cases of betterdry and one case of incontrol elite hybrids before I feel comfortable ordering again. I will use the “caboose” on days where it merits the need. After my stock is depleted this may become my daytime diaper and order a different diaper for evening and bedtime.

I am hoping that in that two to three month window, a plain white version of this will come to be. Bottom line, if you can get past the horrible prints, this may be the most Comfortable and durable diaper I have ever worn.
