Anyone tried this product?

[Texan]

I found a website for the Threaded Armor products and was wondering if anyone here has tried the products. They are making some claims that they work well, high absorbancy, no leaking, etc. A bit expensive, but might work for those of us using cloth diapers. The website is: https://www.threadedarmor.com/

firetruck diapers for adults WTF is that?

[5bugles]

I couldn't find anything on the website that talked specifically about capacity, so it is hard to say how absorbent they are. While they may be comfortable and discrete, my guess is they would not be useful for much more than small leaks, etc. But if you are just looking for something to catch dribbles or the occasional leak, maybe give them a try.

It's their "diaper" with a babyish firetruck, ladders, and firemen themed front panel.

As for absorbency I suspect they are fairly good since they are cloth based but there are no leak guards per se and there is always the problem of getting multiple layers of cloth clean and dry. Still I agree with 5bugles that they are probably best for minor leaks and dribbles.

Three, maybe four years ago, I bought one of their heavyweight nighttime briefs. The one I bought and still have if your interested in buying it (used) is blue and white in color. In my opinion, I don't think these re-usable briefs are worth the money but I am a heavy wetter at night. Now, more than before, I think this company caters to the AB crowd with their fire trucks and babish style briefs. Maybe those type of AB items sell for more because they are babyish style, I don't know, but what I do know is I was very disappointed in the absorbancy of this brief compared to other products on the market that cost less and offer more absorbency. Just my opinion, but those are my thoughts.

Buy with caution.

Thanks everybody for your replies. Here is a link to one of their solid color pull-ons. But it looks like around $75.00 if you order the 2 inserts (boosters)! Interesting site, some products for those with handicaps and solid colors for the rest of us that don't prefer the cute prints.

I may be wrong, but to me they look like overpriced undergarments meant for light incontinence such as dribbling or minor leaks. Being made of cloth they would still require a cover. I don’t think I’d trust them for heavy incontinence issues. They resemble training pants for toddlers and are expensive at that. Again, I may be wrong but I’m not willing to pay $75 to find out + shipping.

Your not wrong Don. What you said sums up what I said in my previous post,...poor absorbancy at a high price.
Not my type of product. However, the one that I bought 3, or 4 years ago, (still have it anyone would like to buy it used) does not have the leg gusts. If I recall correctly, I "think" I paid $10.00 less. I think I paid $49.95 + Shipping, no inserts, no nothing just the two-tone blue & white brief with a "Thank You" note is what I received. I didn't think the brief I purchased was worth $49.95, let alone their current price of $59.95, or more if it includes liner etc. The brief is for suitable for light incontinence and that's about it in my opinion. Unless things have changed the fabric around the waist and legs will seep moisture once the brief becomes wet depending on the size of the void,....BEWARE. This is why I stopped using it.

Best of luck to anyone that buys this product. I know I would not buy another and would be willing to sell the gently used one that I own,....plus shipping of course.

Hope this helps.

at $60 a pop, that's very spendy for light dribbles.

I'll honestly never understand the appeal of reusable or cloth diapers for adults other than maybe for bedwetting. in about 45 seconds I can enter a bathroom stall change a disposable and then just toss it. Do people really carry around a soiled several pound cloth diaper around after changing?

Mike James. Some people do exactly that. I used cloth for about 6 months exclusively. I had trouble working out the logistics. I bought a wet bag from planetwise made for wet/soiled clothing. I used prefolds with flat diaper inserts. It was incredibly bulky but had to be that way because I couldn’t change while out. It was very noticeable and I was a tad self conscious. I carried a back pack with one spare in it and wipes which were also cloth. The problem was carrying around wet diapers while out. I would frequently get stuck in a wet cloth diaper for far too long because I couldn’t change. Some people may have better skills than me. I don’t consider myself a newbie at this stuff. I’m pretty resourceful. I ended up getting a diaper rash I couldn’t get rid of due to prolonged exposure. My doctors treated it and told me to go back to disposables because they lock away moisture better. My doctors were concerned I was being exposed to my soils for too long in detriment to my skin. Changing while out and carrying around wet cloth diapers was difficult. With disposables, I just toss it. And they’re less noticeable.
