Sorry, we had a 20 minute company meeting. We're all back to work now. Murphy's Law..we always get inundated with calls the moment we step away. 8-)

I've now had enough time to test the new colored Northshore Supreme Lites (size Large) and I am pretty impressed. They fit me very well overall with my only comment being they seem a little "high cut" at the lower rear sides. It hasn't been a problem at all it's just that it's a bit different from what I normally wear. The capacity and absorption rate were excellent, and the wicking was the best I've ever experienced as it wetted, but not soaked, almost to the top of the rear, amazing! For me this is easily a 6-8 hour diaper if not more.
I absolutely love the blue color and the starry night effect print, it's not at all the polka dot look I expected from the online pictures. My Wife smiled when she saw me wearing one and literally called me a "Diaper Fashionista" and agreed that they were a nice change from institutional white. I too was quite surprised at the affect it had on me when I put on the first one, somehow I felt like I was more in control of my incontinence and less of a "patient", what a great feeling!! There's no doubt that I will be ordering more of these in my next NS order. BTW...I also tried the Green sample (Thanks Adam!) and the color was nice if not a bit subdued, guess I've got to try the purple ones next.
Finally a huge THANKS!! to Adam at Northshore Care Supply for caring enough to go out on limb and try something to improve our quality of life, this is something not many companies do these days and in my opinion you've hit a home run with this one.

i must be odd because i've had leaks on the last 2 i've had. not huge but enough to cause concern. they seem to be around the leg gatherers. maybe im doing something wrong i don't know. and this is after one wetting. i do the fold down the middle and pull at the ends before i put it on to make sure the leg gatherers are standing up. i put the diaper on laying down so maybe if i do it standing up i wont have the issue. i wont be wearing them out until i figure out what i can do though. a little disappointed...

sounds more like a issue with the product rather than you are doing anything wrong, get Adam to provide some feedback.

as you mention don't go out using them till you know what might be wrong.

little tip when you put the diaper on push each side of the diaper up between each inside leg to get a more secure fit.

It's not because you are "odd"...it's because you are "you". Everyone's body is a little different shape and it's possible the leg elastics may not be getting a secure fit for you. Just make sure the other leg elastics aren't getting folded under and that the inner leak guards are standing up as well...sometimes they get stuck down in shipping. It's impossible to get one diaper to fit everyone just right...think of all the styles of jeans! This is one reason we came out with MegaMax, so we could have an alternative with a little different sizing and cut to try and have a more perfect fit for more people.

thanks adam. i think i have found the problem and the way to fix it. it was indeed me laying down and something i was doing in the process causing the leak. if i put it on standing up and fold it before and as i am putting it on it appears to solve the problem. i certainly hope so because i do really like the blue color and would like to make this my go to diaper.

making the products not Look like a diaper but still perform as well is the trick to helping many people get past the stigma. Great job it will make a difference for many people!
