Several questions from a "beginner" (leak at the side!)

Hi,

additionally to my other topic I have several "beginners questions" where it would be very nice for some answers!

If you just want to contribute to one of the questions feel free to do so!

I hope this kind of topic with several questions is okay in this forum, I am sorry if it should be against the rules (I wouldn't know why though).

So let's get started. I am always talking about adult disposable diapers here for all my questions. Also my brand in diaper was firly expensive and claims to normally even be able to not leak in long term use even without plastic pants or anything like that.

Most importantly:

1) I got some disposable adult diapers now, the size should just be perfect for my body. After wearing it for a while unfortunately after I peed now the second time, there was a leak!

The problem was I think that the fluid went to the very side of the diaper, it flowed around my leg from the front to the back, so I think it just hit the side part of the diaper which is not absorbant I asume?

Is there any way to prevent that, maybe it was not tight enough?

Also, after a leak like that happens, even if I dried it up, the side where it leaked still stays a bit damped. After any kind of leak, even a minor one, should you always change the diaper no matter what?

2) What is the difference in "Night" and "Day" diapers?

3) How much urine can adult diapers usually hold?

4) I noticed it is kinda funny to walk in diapers. Do you think this is noticeable to other people watching you?

5) In general, just from the thickness of a diaper, is it noticeable in public if you wear diapers?

6) When you wet in diapers, is that noticeable to other people (I mean I don't smell a thing but you know how it is, you also don't smell your own parfume do I am not confident about other people).

7) In general, is there a high risk of diapers leaking when just moving around, like going to the kitchen, sitting down, go to the grocery store etc

Well...that was a lot.

But I hope some of you feel like helping a beginner so that he can have even more fun with this new found fetish! :-)

Thank you very much!

Hi Kevin

If you are going to wear and use diapers buy premium diapers in your size like Dry 24/7 or Abena Level 4 premium diapers this will help with leaks as they are way better then the thin cheap diapers most people wear for the first time.

Wearing diapers in public takes a bit of getting use to but you will quickly learn no one is watching or cares if you are wearing. I now wear my level 4 diapers 24/7 I was wearing level 2 for day time to help keep it discrete but I learned a thicker diaper can be trusted better then a thinner one even if premium diaper brands,

Once you get your premium diaper you wil find you may need to go up one pant size to help,hide the diaper and allow room for it to expand when wet.

What size are you ie hips and waist we can then help you to pick the right sized diaper.

After you wear the thicker diapers for a few days you won't even notice you are wearing as much.

Hi Kevin, I read some of your questions, and I thought I'd add something quick. If you are having trouble with leaks at night. Something you might want to try is, a pair of training pants. They refer to them as training pants because, it is like what is made for potty training children. They are plastic pants lined with terry cloth, or flannel. These can go on over your diapers. And, if you have a leak the plastic pants will help keep it inside, while the terry/flannel lining will soak up the wetness. Now of course, if you leak into them, the pants will need to be rinsed out and dried. It can be extra work because of this, but it will help contain a leak, and may be less work, if it keeps bed linens, and PJ's dry.

You can find a pair of these at babykins, for one. http://www.babykins.com/store/terry-lined-plastic-pants/

Fetware also has the fannel lined. http://www.fetware.com/cloud-flannel-lined-plastic-pants-p-40.html

There are others too, but those are two examples.

I have a question, too.

I'm currently wearing a seni trio size M, but I've wondered if I could switch to a L and a more absorbant diaper (even though my waist is 97 cm around, and L is recommended for 100-110cm)?

Will an L still do its job or will it natrually leak cause I'm too smal?

Aestiva, I've found in the past that larger sizes can be used usually without any issues, especially if you're wearing a size L over a size medium or small. I usually wear smalls to fit my waist, but I've been able to wear mediums and larges without any problems. It's all about how you tape them up! That being said, a larger size is always more likely to leak if you wet while laying on your side, but that's what liners and plastic pants are for
