Depends Maximum Protection

Has anyone ever tried these diapers out? I want to buy some, but am not sure if they are worth my money. Right now, I can't buy online because I am living at home and would be questioned.

Well, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're simply looking for a diaper, then yes, these will work.

For me, however, they generally fall short of what I really look for--they are very much removed from any sort of 'baby' quality that most of us (or at least me) look for in a diaper.

Padding: They are overall quite thin, and don't give a bulky look and feel--they really are inconspicuous under most clothing, and they don't have that bulky quality between the crotch that reminds you that you are diapered. I like my padded tushy!!!

Tapes: Not really a fan a 6-tapes. Don't do too well with untaping/retaping the diaper.

Waistband: It has a gathered, elastic waistband that I find scratchy on my tummy.

Absorbency: OK for me, poor for others. I'm sure it would do fine with a trickle-type incontinence, as opposed to the sudden gushing, all-out-at-once diaper flooding we subject them to. I like how the padding at least extends somewhat into the plastic wrap-arounds, to give a sort of 'wings' protection.

Plastic outer: I like that it at least has a plastic outer shell, as most compoanies (especially the commercial retail) are doing away with the plastic in favor of a cloth-like shell. Now, the depends plastic is this sort of matte, almost vinyl-like plastic--the consequence of this is that the plastic rustling noise is decreased (though still audible).

Overall--not my first choice of disposable diaper, though in your situation, if you can only buy retail and not looking for a big case or to spend much $$$, this can work. I used to buy these until I was able to do mail-order (Attends Classic, 10)

Is there anything I can buy that is really bulky and holds a lot and looks like a baby diaper?

I usually use Depends Maximum Protection ( I think they used to be called "Overnight"). They work well for me, and handle about 3 good wettings before I have to worry about leaks. I do wear plastic pants over them for extra leak protection.

I do prefer a diaper with 3 tapes since they seem to fit me better. My experience is that the tapes usually stick well, but don't refasten very well.

I'm sure there are other better diapers available and I have tried several of the premium brands as well as some of the store brands. I keep going back to the Depends mainly because they are relatively inexpensive, easily available and they work fine for me.

Like most things some people like them and others can't stand them.

I use depends all day long. When its time for bed, I use Bambano brand. I like the fact that they take care of me throuh the night with three or more wettings. I don't like the price, but I do like the product.

We don't have them in Israel, before I used the depend fitted briefs and liked them.

I buy depends in any drugsore for 15 dollars and abena xplus for same price is 2 diaper less but triple absorbent.

I've seen the Tena brand pads and pullups in Walgreens, but I don't know if they plan to add the fitted briefs to the mix or not.

I suppose it will depend ( Pardon the pun)on customer demand. They do carry Depends and their store brand at least in the local store.

Before you find your " Perfect " diaper, these are are

your best bet. They are available almost everywhere, and

you'll love these.

I have to add to this topic. Walgreens brand fitted briefs are pretty good, although i think they may have changed their name to clarity or something i would have to look. They are thicker than the depends, i should know i have both right now. and they a quite absorbant. they are 2 tabbed per side velcro style and cloth like cover. but they are plain. I think they work well and are pretty quiet too, i mean under a skirt depend are noisy and these ones arent.

I find that the tapes dont hold that well. Especially when double diapered.

I wear them at night and thay do me just fine and i love it

😁 I use depends and they are ok. I usually put a cloth diaper or 2 inside to help with bulkyness and absorbancy. I used to get attends and loved them but I can't find them any more. I have bambinos but they are way to pricy for every night use. I do like them for special times. :😃

Well if it was possible for Depend to make a noisier less absorbent diaper, they've found a way. I've tried Depends in all its flavors and this has got to be my least favorite yet. It's thinner, even less padding on the wings than before (and that wasn't a lot to begin with), and the tapes-- well, the tapes now deserve a whole rant just by themselves. **IF** you can manage to get a diaper out of the pack without at least one of the six tapes grabbing the diaper next to it and ripping it out of the pack, then you will find, upon taping the diaper on, that they don't really stick as well as they used to. And if you pull 'em loose to re-fit the diaper later on, well, guess what-- that was a mistake: the tapes lose some of their stickiness and will pop loose under the least amount of stress. In other words, if you actually USE this diaper after you've refastened the tapes, you'd better have some cellophane/packing tape handy or it'll fall right off your ass. I'm currently drinking lots of water and beer just to pee my way through these ridiculous things, and I'm using Pampers 4 soakers inside, with plastic pants to hold em on, just so they don't leak. If there's anything good to say about em, it's that they still don't have the cloth-like backing everybody else has gone to. In summary, Depends have always kind of sucked but now they suck even more. If you want a noisy crinkly everybody-in-the-room-hears-it diaper, DepMaxProt's are for you. Otherwise, consider them for emergencies only.

??? Depmaxprots??? What are those. I've never heard of them. Where do you get them. I'll try anything at least once 😜

Well where I live Depends are all you can get besides the store brands which I think are made by depends.

The few problems I have are that I am a big guy. I am about 250 LBS and stand about 6 feet tall. My weight is mainly in the belly. I have a hard time getting a snug good fit around the top front of these diapers. The elastic that is in the top front never seems to be snug to my skin which makes me leak there.

When my diaper is soaked, it tends to drop in the front alot.

😁 not a bad choice for a daytime diaper. i wouldn't recommend using them for a night time diaper.

I would say they are about the best you can get from a store. They're not bad.

For me they are not that bad. If i can get a good tight fit between my legs they don't leak very often. As for laying down I have never had anything not leak

Yah i know that Tranquility ATN's hold up to a quirt of "liquid" there good and you can go to Abuniverse.com to find ones that look like real diapers. Onzies too.

YUP medical or online. it sucks but its true.

Depends are crappy for heavy wetting but okay for soiling because of the leg guards. You need lots of boosters.

Where I live the Depends diapers seem to be disappearing off the shelves. So, the last time I bought my ATNs I also bought some Tranquility Slimlines.

I really like this diaper. It is thicker than the Depends and, I think, more comfortable. So far it seems to easily handle 3 wettings. I'm certain that this would also make a very good overnight diaper, but I'll stick to daytime wearing and continue using the ATNs at night.

DEpends Suck.

Depends, really do suck, not absorbent as a xplus, very thin and they leak alot, use them once throw them away. save alot of money that way

I usually buy these diapers when I need something that isn't too thick to serve as an outer cover over the cloth-backed, store-brand diapers. I find they work reasonably well. However, they tend to leak around the legs down near the crotch region. Overall, I buy them because they are available in stores and ordering to my house is usually not an option due to my housemates.

Just started using the newer Depend with the harder plastic outer (the 2 tape super brief, not the cheap 3 tape version you'll find in most pharmacies).

They are way more absorbant than I remember, and they draw some of the moisture to the front using as much of the diaper as possible.

I've actually switched from being a hardcore Moli supporter to these.

I'd imagine so - you guys are usually a bit ahead of the rest of the world and I think Depend are a US company - try Target.

The cheap ones come in packs of 10 or so, the pack size of the Super in a medium is 20 or 22, and you can tell from the pack size and weight they are quite substantial.

Thanks for replying. We only have the ones here with 3 tapes per side. They don't work very well though.

I've always seen Depends Maximum Protection as pretty much the bottom of the barrel. I buy them if I'm on the road and run out of Abenas, which I never do anymore thanks to better planning. My Abenas are my Cruisers; DMP are gas-station diapers.
