Do diapers live up to there promise

I have been wearing diapers regularly for years and I am disappointed.

Diapers that are suitable for multiple wettings, are too bulky and quickly get very uncomfortable. Admittedly my experience of different types is rather limited as the only ones I can get in shops around here are Tena Flex, Slip and Boots

I have now settled on Depend Pants for men which are readily available and are very very comfy and meet my basic requirements but they don't go that one step further. Their big disadvantage is that they can't be readily changed without taking my trousers off and after wearing them for a while the elastic goes saggy and the padding starts to clump. They are therefore no use if I am out all day and I don't want to use a public toilet. They fulfil what I need out of them - i.e cover any slight leaks and enable me to go whenever I need (but only once) which is fine BUT I dream of being able to completely ignore the needs of my bladder when I am out.

I usually end up using the public toilet although I can hold a lot longer as I don't have to worry about accidents or slight leakagewhich is great but not good enough.

How do you find your diapers?

Tena Slip nappies normally do me fine, the Maxi can certainly take a couple of heavy wettings and the Super not too far short of that. Abenas I find do hold more but are bulky so perhaps not the best for out and about. There's good quality nappies around but if you don't want the bulk then you just have to change more often! In terms of being uncomfortable, make sure they're well supported and fitted properly.

I do know the expense of the AB/DL designed diapers make them a little too pricey for day to day. They are worth a try for their ability to stay together wet and not clump.

Being shaped more like a toddler's diaper they would not compare to Tena or Abena for comfort in normal standing positions. Give them a try you will find they out perform them in bed, playing, and just sitting around.

I guess I like bulky a little better than thin and out of site.

Oh Elf your such an exhibitionist 😃 pimping them pampers proud. 😎

My diapers im happy with. I use the depend for men under ware for the gym. I wear compression shorts over them. This keeps them from sagging when wet.

I would say my diapers do as I wear Kendal 3d which have a single tab on each side and still have leg gathers so really it is like a real baby diaper and heck what am i saying to me it is a real diaper

OK once again we all need to understand this. The diapers that we all complain about being thin and only good for a wetting or two at best are made for people with real bladder problems but are still mobile and active in life. Therefore allowiing them to change when wet by themselfs. The bigger thicker diapers are made for people who cannot change themselves at will and need assitance to do so. Therefore sometimes making diaper changes less frequent for the wearer. We all talk about wanting a baby diaper like the babies have. However if you took their diapers and sized them for adults they would be super thick and super high on the waistline and defintly make you waddle like they do(babies diapers usualy go to about mid back on them). We have to remember here adult diapers are made for sick or incontinent people not for fetish people. I perosnley love abena x-plus for their thickness and absorbancy. However wearing them during the day would be almost impossible for a active person. Number one when wet with mulitple wettings they will sagg something awfull like any diaper does. And number two the thickness and high waist band would make them very very noticable to others around. I like a thinner diaper for the day when out n about and thick diapers for nite time when changing will not happen till morning time.

Suck it up and get the diapers that do the same so what if they are bulky. its better than leaving puddles everywhere.
