Problems I have with adult pull ups

Not too sure how to explain but why does the padding bunch up unevenly around the rear as its really u comfortable when uneven when you sit feels like it's the material inside the molicare mobile (pull up). I have had similar issues in the past with Tena Pants and Depend pull ups also in the hotter weather I get a lot of chaffing, and I also like I snug fit.

My issue apparently comes from the nerve issues in the L5 impingement and not caused by the bladder I have been told but experience leakage and the bladder having a mind of its own.

I have anxiety issues in general so mentioning this to my support network G.P, Mental Health Nurse, Psychologist (even tho bladder issues are in my file says Destrusor Instability and Urgency) is just impossible for me and not under urologist as tests show its not from the bladder but back also seen Neurosurgeon and nothing he can do for me either and surgery on my back is completely ruled out by specialists years ago too risky for so little or no positive return.

I have also rang up places that have continence nurse but calls never get returned and my anxiety disorders make it nearly impossible to follow up as was nearly impossible to ring in the 1st place. 😢

The IC is caused by the spinal cord issues I have been told as had worse anxiety issues before the incident with the back in 2009 I also have osteoarthritis and lumbar pain which I see a Physiotherapist for on a fortnightly basis and since seeing the Physio regularly the IC issues decreased a little.

The reason I mentioned the anxiety disorders was to try explain why I depend on help from forums etc

I am from Australia and Molicare tends to be the main "premium" brand here 😢

Hope this helps explain things

Thank you

Hmmm, not real sure what to tell you, to help. I understand about what you say, about the bunching up. Maybe if you can find a pair of mesh pants, which would go over the pull-ups? They might help keep things snug, and tight? They kinda work like, wearing tights. Or maybe, a tight pair of underwear over the pull- up?

One other suggestion for you, maybe try cloth pull on/up. You would need a waterproof cover, like plastic pants also. Or, nylon cover, etc. Don't know if that would be practical for you, or not? More then likely, you would have to get these off the internet.

You should be able to find other disposable pull- up products on the net too. Possibly better then what you are using?

Good luck, hope I may have helped out some.

I myself feel diapers are more forgiving than pullups as i find the pullups tend to leak more

I prefer slips (nappies) to pull ups.

I have never had much luck with pullups. I find they leak, slide down, or just don't fit well. I also find them difficult to change in public. That being said, I have true incontinence as well so sometimes the diapers get old. I have found depend real fits to be excellent alternative to full diapers.

I think pull ups are junk. They don't fit right and leak very bad,also very uncomfortable. A big waste of money for me!!!

I have never tried a pull-up. From the pictures I see and the posts written here; I agree that for people into diapers, they really don't "count" as diapers. They look too thin to be able to hold much and they don't have the diaper "look"! I enjoy something thick and padded that will absorb at least a single wetting without worrying it will leak.

I have tried pull-ups and found them lacking for all the reasons stated.

But my main objection is they are hard to get in and out of. The first time I had to change them in a stall I decided they were not for me.

I would give a lot for true adult pull-ups - thicker pull-on diapers with a non-porous cover and some sort of internal wetness alert. They would be really useful for toilet training.

I've tried pull ups and I think there junk. There so cheaply made and poor fitted. There just too universal. My opinion. GO WITH A GOOD FITTED DIAPER! !!!

I too have nothing good to say about "pull ups" but can sympathize with your complaint.

Having been a 24/7 user for well over 20 years I can say that the way i deal with the nappies/slips bunching up is to wear lycra type stretch pants over the top of the slips, if they are tight enough the padding will not move and therefore not bunch up.

But like all these things there is a negative, the nappies absorption capacity will be restricted.
