I am having trouble finding Abena Fixing pants, I have not purchased them in quite a while and have probably 6 or so. They don't get wet every day depending on what diaper I am using. BTW been some time since I have been on here and would like to say that I have really had good success with Better Dry one for day and heavy one for night.
Apparently the fixing pants (only used for daytime) come either with legs or without. The ones I have are without.
Anyhow can't seem to find them. I have read about a few other possibilities but sure would like to see if I could get Abena cotton fixing pants without legs. If anyone knows where to find these or an acceptable substitute.
Thank you
Tom

I only have two suggestions. I too would like to find the old Abena ones. They were great. But in case it helps any, my suggestions are:

1. try searching for "fixation pants" rather than "fixing pants". The word "fixing" is how Abena referred to them; other brands seem to use the word "fixation" to mean the same thing.

2. I have had success with https://ufmunderwear.com/ -- they are not specifically targeted at the incontinence market but they have a section of their web site devoted to using their products to hold pads in place, so they're at least aware of us and they have us in mind (at least to some extent) when they're designing their products. They work well for me as a replacement for the Abena ones.

I found them on healthwick.com. Thanks to Instagram. I have not ordered from them yet as it has to be $25+ for the order, but they carry both types.
