But they are medium and not large.
While they are a bit tight I think they will work. I can't wait another few days and I spent the last of my money on a cab from the FedEx office because I couldn't miss work on account of being out for a week when I was sick.
Here's to hoping!

Hope they work out. The mediums in this brand are bigger than most others. Roughly in-between the mediums and larges of most other brands.

Regarding deliveries, I use UPS MyChoice and FedEx Delivery Manager (both free) to give delivery instructions and release packages from needing a signature.

At my previous residences (all apartments) there has usually been some sort of mail reception area where I had packages left (not super secure, but never had an issue); at another place, I had packages left with office management.

At the house we're at now, I put a large Rubbermaid container by the side door and gave standing 'leave at side door' instructions via my UPS and FedEx accounts. I also get delivery time windows and updates via the phone apps.

Not sure what your package delivery options are or if you have a reasonably secure area. But these 2 services have helped me out a lot with managing deliveries.

They are NOT gonna work. So uncomfortable. I'm out and had to take it off because they were cutting into me. I tried 2 different ones taped differently to try to get them to work. So I'm out of the house with no protection. Not a happy camper. I'm saying prayers to the universe that nothing happens.

Regarding packages. You have to have a key to get in and we don't have on-site management. So I'm pretty screwed.

Justej,

Don't worry about Gary getting mad at you. He has a reputation of being extremely nice, and I have personally found that reputation to be justified. He sent me a sample of Abena Delta form years ago without my actually requesting it. I simply mentioned that there were no samples ofr the delta form brief on his website. Next thing I know, i get somethin in the mail, and it's 1 delta form brief. When I had troubles with Tena slip maxi, he offered to replace the bag along with giving me a sample FREE OF CHARGE of Abena Air plus. He won't get mad at you.. he is there to serve you. He will work with you until your'e satisfied.. end of story. So, don't worry!

Peace out!

Rob

Rob is right, Gary has helped me too when I had issues with a defective bag of the ConfiDry 24/7's. He's good people, it's all good! :)

Just a thought on trying to make it fit better...

I tend to be right between the sizes of most mediums and most larges. The larges feel huge and baggy while the mediums feel tight and cut into me as you said. On diapers that seem to fit smaller or tighter, I recently tried taping the bottom tapes on both sides at a moderate upward angle and much closer to the top of the diaper near where the top tapes are normally fastened. Then I take the top tapes and fasten them as I normally would. This has the effect of essentially creating a wider leg opening without the diaper cutting in and without only going with one set of tapes. This has worked well on a couple of different brands for me. If you're tight across your abdomen, this system won't work as there's no real good way to get extra waist size but if they're only small through the legs and crotch, it could help some.
