Snap on or pull on

This is for people who have experience with waterproof underpants. Waht do you think is better, snap-on type or pull-on ytpe waterproof pants? and why if you could put that in too.

Well, that's a question with a few answers, pros and cons. Pull-on's are best for keeping everything in, not allowing leaks. But, pull-on pants can get hot. And, pull-on pants do have to be pulled on, which might be hard for some to do. And, with pull-on's when you have to change, everything has to come off, pants, tights, so on. Snap-on's, can be cooler to wear, the gaps allowing air in. Snap-on's also can be put on, or taken off without taking pants all the way off. Snap-on pants can also be easier for a caregiver to use on their patients. I hope this helps you?

I like the pull-on pants best myself. I have many of both.

Luvs It.

Well i was asking for me and i have no movement impairments. I was just curious about others' opinions

As probably already mentioned, there are good sides and bad for both. I have worn both types and would choose each one for different situations.

Snap-ons: I wear snap-ons if I am out in town for awhile or wearing cloth diapers. If I know I can change and am going to be mostly upright.

Pull-ons: I take my pull-ons when I go to my friends house and sometimes when I sleep. My friend has a pool and she's teaching me to swim, I know stupid me for not learning. Anyway, when I'm in the pool I wear pull-ons for full protection and if for some reason my diaper does become saturated with water thanks to a leak the waterproof pants don't let the pieces of diaper stuffing get out into the pool. Also, when I sleep at home or at her house I sleep in a special bed that has inclined sides like the side of a mountain so I don't roll out of bed or hurt myself on railing. In that kind of bed I have to wear the pull-ons so I don't turn over and leak onto the bed, they also have more tendency to keep urine in the diaper and are more flexible. Also, since I have a hard time with my diapers as it is I just have my friend help me change so my inability to appropriately change plastic pants doesn't matter.

I like snap ons better because then you can change without having to take your pants all the way off.

Does anybody know what kind they had as kids? I don't think my mom used anything else but the pull-on's.

Luvs It.

Its pull on for me. I do have a few pairs of snap on though. I wear snap on when a diaper change might have to be made outside of my home. Anytime else its pull on plastic pants.

I definitely find pullup plastic pants to be less prone to leaks. Although, snap-on has the advantage of changing them without having to take everything off from the waist down.

Pullups definitely have an advantage for bedwetters too.

Oh yah pull on. They don't leak as bad and just loce the texture of the pink and blue star type. Not as slick.

I usually am placed in pull on baby pants but once in a while, my wife likes to make a show of snapping on the baby pants for the babyish sound effects..it is rather stimulating and she laughs through the diaper changes

I have only had pull on I really dont think snap on work that good becuse the sids are not seled

At night, pull-on plastic pants are a must over my cloth diapers if I want my bed to stay dry. In th daytime, i like the snap-on plastic pants because they breath better and don't get as hot in the summer time.

I agree with martywets!

I prefer pull ups. Little chance for leaking. Stevie

Pull on style,becuse that's what I wore as a toddler and I remember other kids wearing them.

I have several pairs of both, so enjoy wearing both.

I prefer the pull ons. I feel most like a baby when i pull those rubber (plastic) pants up over my thick diaper!

For the most part pull-on. i do have a few snap-on but i keep them around for when i wear pants. much easier to change if need be with out undressing.

I like the snap on's but gave both. Just the combo of a diaper & plastic pants is a real turn on.

I wear both. Depends on my mood. Right now I'm in snap-ons because they are much cooler.

I like both. Agree the pull up ones seem to be better for leaking. I like the snap ones because it's just like having ur diaper changed plus I think the make more noice. Either way plastic pants r always a turn on for me.

I prefer pull on plastic pants, I guess because that's what I wore growing up. That being said, the first plastic pants I bought myself were snap-ons. I remember calling a pharmacy a couple of towns away from home and asking if they had adult rubber pants. I didn't expect the next question. "Is this a bedwetting problem?"

I could feel my face blush with both shame and embarrassment and after a short pause told him yes it was for bedwetting. He told me they had just the thing and to come on over.

When I got there he took out a box and opened it right there in the middle of the store. I Was totally humiliated but also more excited than I'd ever been before. It Was quite a rush. They were called "Pro-Pants" made by the Salk company. They were milky white, cloth lined with a snap in cloth liner. They were very soft and babyish looking. I'd often wear them with 4 layers of the curity 21x40 diapers. These were among my favorites until the stopped making them about 25 years ago.

Does anyone else remember these?

Anything like the ones here Dan? The ones on top of the page are the waterproof ones.

For me I prefervthe pull on plastic babypants these are what I was wearingvin the late fifties when I was born,I do have 1 pair of snap ons which Arab useful when thev weather is hot because they do breathe a little

When it comes to plastic pants to put over my cloth diaper I love the snap on style, but I think the pull on are more reliable. As far as training pants or bedwetter pants go, I think pull ups are the way to go.

I'm wearing pull on right now. I love both!

Lives It, they were a lot like the sani pant but with the soft cloth lining the pant and a snap in liner. As a matter of fact they the sani pant back then too.

Pull on are less likely to leak and usually fit better in my experience and most of my plastic pants are pull on style. However, the snap on kind are easier for a caregiver to put on to a baby/patient/sub laying down, and necessary if one needs to be changed while still restrained.

I much prefer to have put onto me the PULL-ON style.My mommy who still diapers me everynight,has ONLY used pull-on style for my cloth diaperings.Both of us like the full surround leakage protection.The snap-on style tend to leak on extended wear of MY diapers.

Grew up with Gerber pull on plastic pants. Usually pullons for sleeping - fewer leaks. The PUL type plastic is cooler and I have those in pull ons. The diapers are hook/loop - lots easier than pins and easy to get snug.
