Hey all,

One thing that i recently noticed that surprised me (surprised me because I had gotten used to the idea of wearing diapers lifelong) is that i now prefer wearing my pocket diapers to any disposable diaper because the pocket diaper is really the closest thing i will get to in both look and feel to regular underwear. This is coming from a guy who wrote im padding up and living life. But there is something to be said for personalizing and making your diapers look less like diapers.. giving them a more underwear look and feel does have its benefits. I will still need disposables for some of the time, for traveling and when laundry might not be as doable. But for the most part, I do prefer them. This is a long leap from where i was before, mainly using disposables and relying on cloth only for extended wear. But times change and so do peoples attitudes.

Has anyone else found this to be true? you think your set in your protection, but then later on find something different and better and find yourself preferring it?

Peace out!

Rob

When I am going to be home all day I like pocket diapers. They can be removed on the times I can get to the bathroom, sometimes I can wear one all day and still be dry. Another reason I like them is that they will not clump up when worn all day. When I am going to be away from home I always go with my disposable diapers as they have a greater capacity.

I bought mine from AliExpress, a company in China. Just search for “adult cloth diaper” and you should get several pages of sellers. Some will have “free shipping”. This just let you know what the real cost is. I paid $15.62 each for three on my last order. I find that I need to wear vinyl pants with them even though they are described as water proof. You can not be in a hurry as it may take 20 to 30 days to get them.

You can also order vinyl pants from AliExpress.

I like AliExpress as if you do not get what you ordered you can do a dispute and will get your money back.

I honestly have not. I did start out like most with disposable diapers that weren't big enough or absorbent enough, and after a bit of trial and error found thicker/premium diapers fit and worked a lot better.

I have tried cloth like disposables and absolutely do not like them. I've also tried full cloth prefold diapers too. While I did like their absorbency, I did not like their tendency to sag so much, or the amount of laundry they required. When they literally broke my front load washer that was it for me on using cloth.
