justej, staying positive is half of the game. We all have ordered the wrong size before and can feel your pain.
Re the attends or any non-primium diaper, it may help if you tape the diaper more snugly than usual to help contain leaks and then reinforce the tapes.
The doubler definitely will help, so, enjoy a second cup of coffee and make it a REAL test!
Good luck,

The doubler definitely worked!
I've been okay and no leaks.

Justej,
Which brand of doubler are you using and what is its capacity?

Justej, that booster pad has a pretty good absorbency. Glad it is working out for you.

john,
the molicare came yesterday and they couldnt have come at a better time!
i did end up having some leaks on the side. i dont know why but it was always on the right side!
the molicare are a lifesaver.

justej, the frequency of leaks on one side usually indicates that we are doing something different in taping the two sides of the diaper. It is possible that you are taping the diaper differently on the side with your dominant hand. It could be the angle of the tapes or which side is taped more snugly.
Thoughts?
