PUL vs PLastic Pants

I've been a fan of plastic pants forever. Probably plastic pants more than diapers. Lately, there seems to be a trend slowly developing where people are moving more and more towards the PUL material over plastic. The plastic material is deeply imbedded in my psyche. The feel of the soft vinyl puts me over the top. lol. But plastic is relatively fragile and wears out too quickly. Sometimes tearing after only a few wearings. So I've been wondering. Is PUL a lot like vinyl, or is it more like cloth. Do plastic pants fans find that the PUL pants just aren't the same and are disappointing?

I LOVE my PUL pants! They are just like vinyl only last forever! I bought them from Fetware in NH.

I love PUL for long trips because its light and comfortable well maintaing waterproof , my regular plastic pants are from Angelfluff and are custom "blue ice" but they tend to really bite my skin on a 16 hour day , whereas the PUL doesn't, I make long trips to the Doctors , i dont have the time or place to change my diaper and theres only so much weight transfering my chair can do on those days .

I didn't buy into PUL until Angelfluff started selling it, because thru them I can get high rise that will work with my high rise diapers .

Both my blue ice and now my PUL are made exclusively for Angelfluff by Gary. I like my rubber and plastic pants for normal day to day but for extended wear it's PUL time ! My skin has become very sensitive to the elastic compression even though my plastic pants have wrapped elastic it still bites into me and cuts and bruises me on those very long days .

During nthe day I use gary active wear pul pants over my disposable diaper and flannel pull up diaper. This combo makes sure my clothes stay dry and I hardly ever have any diaper leaks.

Also pul pants lasts a lot longer than plastic pants.

The only PUL pants I can get are too loud and don't hold in smell.

I would absolutely NOT go gack to ordinary plastic pants !

I brought my first PUL pant many years ago and am now a fan of them.

They last a very long time but even though they are very expensive they are the most cost effective answer to waterproofing ones nappies and bottom area.

They do stretch with frequent use but this happens slowly, they are very cool as you put them on and I think they are nearer to the feeling of the old "Rubber pants" than plastic pants.

The only let down is the elastics around the legs and waist which will very likely be the first thing to fail.

I almost always wear plastic pants over my diaper. I started out with vinyl, but I’ll I’ll probably never buy another pair now that I’ve used PUL. no condensation, they last much longer and are not affected by barrier gels or oils.

I agree with metoo , Ive got far too many pairs ,Ive hidden some away from the wife ,but the Plastic pants I have have lasted for over four years now .I dont use chemicals around my genitals ,just baby powder . Ive always though these oils ect will kill the plastic making them brittle . I only use Plastic Pants ,not diapers . The powder stops the pants sticking to my skin ,and keeps them Fluffy . I tried PUL the first round ,the feel was not the same ,So plastic Pants Always - My Rubbers !LOL
