Leaking diapers.

[justej]

I’ve posted about this on another forum but I’m at my wits end. I haven’t found one diaper that doesn’t leak. Why even bother with protection at all? I’m constantly changing clothes and I just want to scream and cuss. Cloth is not an option as I do not have my own washer and dryer. Just hating my life right now

Lacking a washer and dryer must make you vulnerable to every design and manufacturing change disposables manufacturers introduce, which must be threatening. Can you experiment by purchasing minimal quantities of enough different products to help you decide which ones can be made to work for you? Good luck, and report back when you can.

Patrick - I’ve literally tried every product. Literally every one. The only one I have minor success with is MegaMax in black. Im so depressed right now.

Would vinyl/polyurethane/rubber overpants work to reduce your leakage? They would need to be laundered; however, you can do that by hand in a sink.

Keep strong you are doing so well don’t let incontinence get the better of you.

Try a waterproof cover see if that works did for me!

Take care of yourself

I wear pul pants and it’s leaking right through. I thought of plastic/vinyl/rubber but I can’t find any in my size (3xl)

justej: Did you ever try using the folded cotton pads ("flour sack towels") I suggested a while back? I think one of your problems is that the acquisition rate of any diaper or booster pad is insufficient to handle a full flood. While I can't guarantee that a cotton pad or microfiber pad can work for you i am sure that their acquisition rate is far superior to the top sheet in a diaper or booster. The other nice thing is that you don't need a washing machine and dryer to launder them, just hand wash them in the sink with a bit of detergent, rinse and hang to dry. In addition they are cheap, about $8 for 10 of the Walmart Mainstays Flour Sack Towels and I think Dollar Tree stores have the microfiber cloths for a dollar each. I'm a side sleeper and it's the only thing I've found that will handle a full flood without leaking.

So I purchased 3 pairs of vinyl from adult cloth diaper dot com. Hopeful that will help

Padded: I did and it’s not handy to have when I’m out and about. I don’t want to carry around a wet towel. I often have the most problems when I’m out. At home I can handle a leak

One more post. Sorry. With the MegaMax (pretty much just the black ones) I seem to have significantly less leaks when I tape top-top-bottom-bottom. I haven’t had any leaks today knock on wood.
