Disposable Diaper sizes

When buying disposable diapers I have always brought medium size Tena Maxi, I've kept to these mainly because I can have them on a next day delivery so I can arrange a morning off work in advance and they are the best disposable diaper on the site I get them from.

However I do find they have a tendency to leak as there isn't much protection at the sides and we can get through almost as many pampers bed mats as Tena diapers adding to the expense.

What I was wondering though, is if I brought the large Tena Maxi would it help? The one thing I am not sure of is how well they would fit for us both, I have a 34" waist and my fiancee a 28" waist and the medium fit us both fine, although it is only me that leaks with them.

Would a large actually fit me and also would they prevent leaks as they would be higher and would wrap further around? But also would they fit my fiancee too? I just have a feeling they may start to gape more around our legs instead.

I'm not really too keen to switch to any other on-line store to try different brands as the store I already use is so convenient and I haven't found any others that have a guaranteed next day delivery. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I have a 32 inch waist and i also have a problem with leaks. i have not tried the large, but if you find the large works, please let me know

Buy some doublers there cheap and work great try abriform

Leak or not depends on many things !

Size of the diaper:

L size has more absorbent than M size; however, the diaper can wrap your body securely is more critical than the amount of absorbent !

Put on properly:

Visit my blog to learn more about disposable diapers.

Try different brands:

Different brands have different design, try and find the one fits your needs. Some people say Tena is the best while others say MoliCare ???

Pee slow:

Absorbent needs time to absorb all the pee, you can try to place a diaper on the floor and pee on it, you will find that pee too fast make the diaper leak.

Thanks for the advice so far guys, but the problem I have with leaking isn’t due to any particular issues you have highlighted, I should have explained better.

The only time I have this particular problem is when I am tied to the bed, flat on my back. Being occasionally teased while in this position means that when I am at times aroused by my other half I don’t always stay in the same position down there… if you know what I mean 😉 Being left alone for long periods of time and with not being able to reposition myself with my hands tied, when I pee it then creeps upward over my skin, no matter how slow the flow, it then finds its way around the side where there is little protection and flows around the waistband and out of the back of the diaper.

I don’t get this with cloth and plastic pants as I am securely wrapped all the way around and also higher around my waist, which is why I was asking if a large size Tena would help and if I would get better absorbency there, I don’t want to waste any money if they aren’t going to help and if they also end being too big for either of us to use, either around the waist or legs. So I suppose it’s more of a…”Will they fit, and also help with the leaking?” question really. Has anyone worn larger disposable diapers than their size range?

If I had my way I’d use cloth all the time but my fiancée prefers using disposables as she finds them quicker and easier, so I got to compromise somewhere as it supposed to be fun for both of us.

Try this:

First put on a L/XL Underjam (not the boxers style) with a Tena or Poise pad, THEN the diaper. The Underjams are ultra-stretchy so if you're careful putting it on, it should be fine. If it's too tight, try it without the pad.

You could always get some nappy suffers for extra protection or go for a size up for bedtime they will have more room and will prevent less leaks wear plastic pants also is a good idea. Good luck

When buying my diapers I tend to buy disposable ones that are either in large or extra large sizes by large I mean 40-48 inches and for extra large 48-60 inches in terms of waist size I don't mind the xl size because I get extra padding and a comfier fit.

I have reviewed many different products on a adisc.org or on this website so please take a look.

I would recommend diapers as close to your physical measurements as possible. Most adult diapers are sized for range of sizes within a category.

For example, my waist measures 31" around. A small ConfiDri 24/7 is for waist sizes 28" through 32". A medium diaper from 32" through 36".

I'm not gaining anything in terms of absorbency by going up a size. The larger size , while it may feel plusher, is made for a larger body. You may get the waist snug and the legs will be loose and you leak.

P.S. Try XP Medical. They're good.. Their inventory extensive.
