I got my sample of their underwear and am trying them. Most of the time I have to use a tape on diaper due to very heavy flow but can sometimes get away with underwear style. So trying them out and will post my thoughts :D

No good. Standing leg gatherers tiny, very tight for size I usually get with most brands. And really leaks out the sides. End result wet pants. Worth a try though. Didnt even seem like they were close to the same material as the brief.

Good to know ironhorse, I am sure you will save someone the time and money trying them when there are better ones out there, Puffy

Thanks puffy, I do like the Abena pull ups and find they work well. I would like to see other brands try to make better pull ups. It's a real shame you just can't get good diapers at the store.

There's nothing like the Abena L3 for a good pullup diaper. But for me it's a bit more diaper than I need during the day for my dribbling. A few weeks ago I tried the CVS mens' underwear and although the quality isn't nearly as good and they only hold a fraction of what the Abena will hold, that's enough for me for most occasions. They're light and comfortable and cooler than the Abenas in the summer.

I had one bad experience with one - I stretched it a bit too far, expecting too much and wore it almost all day, saturating it fairly thoroughly. It came apart in my pants and that gell stuff came down my legs onto the carpet and floor and was a bitch to clean up. My own fault, I guess, for giving it more than it could handle. Still, it's half the price of the Abena and makes a good daytime diaper for someone like me with light incontinence.
