Depends Protection

Do they still make the Depends Protection that are plastic-backed and have three tabs and elastic in the front waistband?

I got some at a discount store the other day and honestly I may try to go back and pick up any that are left. These are great if you love plastic-backed.

To the best of my knowledge P&G discontinued these diapers many years ago.

They are the disposable diapers that I started with when I became urinary incontinent. The capacity wasn't anything like most of today's premium disposable diapers.

Even if they still made them today, I wouldn't use them because of capacity and my incontinence lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, they where definitely a good low capacity diaper.

Yes, but most of the retail chains pulled them from the shelves so you have to get them online. Most online retailers walmart, amazon, ect all have them. I have seen them in some non chain local mom and pop pharmacies but nothing in any chain stores. They are currently called "Depend Protection with Tabs Incontinence Underwear" but they are indeed the plastic backed 6 tape briefs. My first disposable were the old Green plastic backed Depends of the 90's. I recently purchased some just for old times sake and yes they do not hold much but it's more of a nostalgic thing for me. I wore them on a short car trip and they handled light wetting but wouldn't wear them for extended periods or expect to flood them.

At least in my area that seems to be the case for all plastic-backed diapers at chain stores.

As for me I have mixed feelings about that. I LOVE the look and tactile feel of plastic diapers. I have a pack of generic blue plastic four tape ones in my size that I get on occasion from a consignment store about half an hour away that has a sizeable stock, and now two packs of these Depends.

However it’s no wonder they’ve been mostly superseded by paper fabric backed diapers. Plastic ones are sweaty, don’t have a high capacity, and tend to have the lining disintegrate when wet or even just sweaty or worn for a few hours (but then again so do CVS brand paper diapers). And then there’s the fatal flaw of those adhesive tabs that don’t stick twice.

I also wore the depends ones on a long car ride recently, but did not need to wet them, and I wore the blue plastic ones to the movie theater this past weekend, but was too scared to wet them, even knowing that I could leave by the back exit.

I'm not much of a diaper wearer any longer, never was to a large extent. But I'm realizing how many brands or designs within those brands are going away. I basically only like medical diapers, and most of the current versions of Depend and Attends, to my knowledge, are cloth backed which is not as attractive to me. The diapers that I have in my possession are mostly from a sample pack that I bought over ten years ago, just a few remaining sitting in a bag. I'm coming to realize that these things are verging on collector's items, particularly some Attends that are plastic and I think have six tapes (I don't have it in front of me). They aren't the Attends that were out when I started in the late '90s and which are apparently highly prized, but they have a waistband. I would love to try one, but I only have like three.

A few years ago I bought a single Depend green diaper from the mid-'90s, off of eBay, and used it. Other eBay sellers ask exorbitant amounts just for one or a few diapers that are vintage.

My wife wears Depends. Plastic backing or something synthetic, but not cloth, pull-ups, like underware and not noticeable. No tabs. Maybe they were different in the past, or we’re talking about something different.
