Has anyone ever worn regular briefs over their pull-up diapers?
I am trying it, as I think it would help hold them better, as well as hide them more.

is there any other way?? To answer your question I do that everyday ......................Sandy

Yes, compression shorts work very well, nothing moves! Use over a full diaper also useful, no sag if longer in between changing, Puffy

Thanks. At least now I know I'm not alone on this...lol

I was just making sure that I was not being the "odd duck".

And, what would you do if you found out you WERE "odd duck" ?

Would you yield to group-think? Peer pressure?

Let's remember we need to do what is best for us, as individuals -- not just go with the crowd.

Share and use information with/from others -- that is fine. But we still need to go with

what works best for the individual. After all, how many of us will ever SEE you to judge?

And who amongst the non-incontinent population has to know or even care what's on "under".

I usally don't ware underware over a pullup. One of the major reasons I ware pullups during the day is the less "stuff" I have to deal with during changing the better. I also like that I don't sweat as much in the pullups. if I put underware over the pullups then I start feeling sweaty again. however, if i know I will have to go along time without changing, or I am having bowel control issues on a particular day I will ware the tab style abena diapers. With those I always have to ware a tight fitting pair of boxer brefis to keep them in place and keep them from sagging.

People are going to start thinking I work on commision for the company or something, but I can't help extolling the virtues of something that has worked so well for me.
Over diapers, pullups, with pads, etc I wear 'fixing pants' from Abena, available in boxerbrief (or trunk brief) or standard brief styles. In essence they are underwear, just very elastic, and very supportive. They are also cut with the idea of going over some bulk. Completely comfortable, nearly eliminate sag, keeps everything tight to the body so no gaps = less leaking. . . If you're a smaller man like me they make most adult absorbent underwear actually fit, rather than just sort of hanging from the hips . . .The more I think about it the more I come up with, such as they silence diaper/plastic pants sounds, keep you from ripping the same with zippers, etc. They eliminate chaffing between the legs by putting something between your leg and the crotch of the diaper. They keep tapes from popping lose and will even hold a diaper up for a while if the tapes do somehow fail (think you wiggled out or untaped a diaper to use the toilet). I could go on if I really thought about it, but useful, comfortable and relatively cheap, last through a huge number of washings. . . look semi 'normal' if seen, hide the waist of the back of the diaper when you bend over. . . ok I quit, but I really love them. For me they are a huge confidence booster because of how much they improve function, concealment and comfort.

I do believe the Abena shorts are just about the same thing as I bought at Walmart in the U/W section, a Spandex/Poly type boxer short that is like a second skin in fitment, works very well, and under $10 a pair if I recall, been a while, also very good in general "Male" support over the older style garment, which I never found comfortable at all!

I always wear briefs over pullups, it helps from sag and just feels a little safer. Out of curiosity who has recomendations for best pullups

I use Depends Real Fit Briefs over a Foley catheter. I seldom leak from the catheter but have some bowel issues maybe a couple times a year. I use them because they fit snug holding the catheter and tubing in place. I pin the catheter tubing to the Depends they are comfortable I do not sweat in them, and I can just throw them away.
Works for me.
