Even the mightly ones can fail

Last night I had a major leak... I was wearing a secure x-plus as usual, and I usually never have any bit of a leak with them. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to pee, I did what i usually do when this happens and relaxed, emptied my bladder, and drifted of back to sleep. Then, when I woke up this morning I was in a nice little puddle. I noticed that one of the bottom tapes of my diaper had come undone. I must have turned to that side right after I peed and it all ran out instead of being absorbed. So now I have a mattress with a nice stain on it and I guess i have to start taping my diaper tabs at night... uggh bummer

That is a bummer. Perhaps a pair of plastic pants, or better still training pants over your diaper would help. I mean training pants with a cloth inner lining, and plastic pants on the outside.

You should consider having a waterproof cover on the mattress. If making direct contact with the (plastic) waterproof cover is a problem then simply put a washable sheet(s) or other bedding material on top of the cover. Trying to air dry and refreshen a damp mattress is not an easy or pleasant task.

And of course you are going to do this just this one time - right ?! LOL !

Plastic pants a must i dont care if they are disposable. nothing says baby like crinkle plastic pants. and the best back up a baby can have.

I have an asorbent, waterproof underpad that I put under my sheet. It is about 3' by 3', and it has worked well to keep the matress dry. I bought one at Wal-Mart. I do wear rubber pants, but sometimes I still leak. The underpad "has saved the night" many times.
