I have tried a variety of flow through boosters. I found that they helped with low capacity diapers at night. However, by the time I factored in the price the combined cost was greater than using a more expensive higher capacity diaper. During the day, I use a different approach to extending the capacity of my diaper. I use a Depends Guard to add capacity. The Guard is relatively inexpensive and can be easily removed. This gives me the option of removing and discarding used capacity. A booster simply allows me to pack around more capacity. Boosters work ok for me, if I am prone but don't work well when I am mobile. The Guards have an adhesive strip but I don't remove the covering. Thus, I can slide the Guard out when it has reached capacity and slide a new one in place. Once in place I haven't had a problem with the Guard moving or becoming uncomfortable. My normal routine is to put a booster in when I change, replace it once and then tighten the tapes when I remove the second Guard. The diaper generally has some capacity left after I remove the second booster. My normal diaper is a BetterDry L10. I have used the same method with the BetterDry Day. There isn't much price difference between the L10 and the Day so I normally opt for the L10.
