Leakage Issues

As some will know, I'm new to all this. When I got home from work, I needed a pee so I let it go. Well, I had massive leakage and found that my "heavy" diaper could not hold my pee. What do others do here, just let a little go every now and then or let it go and hope? Maybe it is the design of my diapers that is not suitable, they have elastic straps and seem to hang down with the weight of pee. Would I be better with the type that have stickies and form a total wrap?

Thanks

Some diapers can't hold it all if you pee too quickly. Basically, you are "flooding" your diaper - the diaper has to have time to absorb the pee but if you pee too much at once, the overflow leaks out.

If you use cloth, a good pair of plastic pants would prevent the leaks and help hold the diaper in place.

Hi Dee Dee. Sorry to hear about your flood. I always wear a pair of plastic pants when diapered. I also find that the best ones to wear with a disposable are my terry lined ones. They help absorb any leaks from my diapers. I got them from Babykins.

OK, I'll get me some plastic pants.Thanks for youyr suggestions.

I would try a double diaper if you dont mind the extra bulge. this has worked for me along with some plastic panties, locking panties are fun if u have someone to change u or if u dont mind posting them then that is a gd way to spend a long weekend.

You need to try different brands and put the diaper up correctly !

I find that I will leak sometime too and I often wonder if it s because I am a girl and that all the pee goes between the legs and that there is only so much you can do to help prevent this. The crotch is soaked but the rest of the diaper is ok. I don't know how to fix it either.

I know i have said it before but try bambinos never had a leak yet

Even the most absorbent diapers have problems sucking up the pee of a healthy adult bladder. I enjoy wetting my diapers but I tend to do it in a spurt mode rather than a flood. My bladder holds quite a bit and somtimes I can hear the puddle forming because the product can't absorb at the rate I let flow.

I too wear to work and have never had any leaks doing this method.

I had my first leaky diaper yesterday evening. I knew it would happen sometime, and I've been dreading it. I'd been in the same diaper all afternoon, slowly filling it with my pee. I was working at my computer and had a big pee. I could feel my pee running all around inside my diaper, but when I poked at the edges, everything seemed fine. Later, however, when I stood up, I discovered that there was a leak at the bottom. The boxers that I had on over my diaper were soaked through, as was the cushion on my chair. I guess I can be grateful it didn't happen in public.

Anyone else have first leak incidents to share?

You likely leaked not because you exceeded the maximum absorbency of the diaper, but because you exceeded the maximum absorbency under pressure. when you are sitting on the diaper like that with your full body weight on your bum, its like squeezing the diaper. if you wet it, its not able to absorb faster than your squeezing it out.

Excellent point. I hadn't thought of that. I'm trying to train myself to pee without conscious thought and part of that is making sure I can relax and pee while sitting. I'll have to adjust something somehow. 😁

Welcome to the world of leaky diaper's...Sorry you had your first...but i have had so many its not funny...the more you wear, the more you will leak...its gonna happen...unless you have someone who changes you often...

Hey leaks happen its part of diaper wearing, no matter how much you change or try to be carefull. I have had quite a few in life and yes they are embaressing and especialy when its in public. so be carefull and try plastic pants for extra protection they will help a little more then just the dissposable will.

I agre with mamasboy; leaks are part of the deal. Unless you wet you diaper very slowly there is a chance that the diaper can't absorb the wee fast enough. It is also not very helpfull if you use a low capacity diaper.

How can you prevent leaks for males when you sleep on your side wearing a disposable?

Try wearing rubber or plastic pants (or both). Also the quality of diaper can make a big difference.

😁 😁 😁 😁 vinyl bloomers work real well for me.just buy 6 pairs or so rotate them and they will last a long while.i haven't had a leak yet. 😁 😁 😁 😁

A big problem for me too - planning to buy some plastic pants to see if they help

I have now got some plastic pants but they are leaking through the waist and leg bands. What am I doing wrong?

😁 😁 😁 😁 try a size smaller or get some vinyl bloomers. 😁 😁 😁 😁

Use can cling film around each leg to make sure the diaper is always close to your legs. In my view works much better than plastic pants.

I had leakage problems from my Pampers when I was about 12 years old,that is when my mommy switched this baby girl to cloth with plastic panties.I have never had a leakage problem since the switch,but you need to be thickly diapered,or plan on changing your diapers or having your diapers checked for wetness,before getting to the leakage point.

I have leaks just about everytime I wear my diapers. It is usually a sign to go change my diaper.

DeeDee -- i use Abriform Super Xplus (the kind with the 4 stickies -- now some brands fit better then others while others have great capacity while others still dont whick up the pee fast enough IMHO i think the M4s from Abriform are among the best youll find anywhere -- now the only problem you may run into is that being in NZ shipping costs online can basically cost an arm and a leg -- if you would like more info on the absorbtion, fitting, and whicking rate check this URL - http://www.xpmedical.com/dtest.html

Change Diapers when ever wet or messy, no real mommy or daddy would ever leave a real baby in a wet or messy diaper all day that is neglect
