Do you choose your diapers based on comfort, practicality, absorbancy or looks?

Looks? Who cares?

A closet nappy wearer. I prefer invisible nappies as it makes it easier to get past family.

On my own... I am interested in bulk and absorbency.

DL here.

I want absorbent quality. How much will they absorb. How long can I wear them safely with no leaks. Over the top of ALL of the disposable diapers I use, are a pair of cotton, long-leg, brief underwear to catch and to absorb any leakage. Over the top of the diapers and cotton briefs I use plastic overpants. Sometimes brief style plastic overpants and sometimes (to the knees) plastic bloomer style overpants. I want my bed and I want my clothing to remain DRY. I want to feel 100% secure that I am not going to overwet my diapers (and with disposable diapers, when to full capacity, the leakage will happen).

My diapers are based on comfort and absorbancy. The brand I wear now have done a good job for me so far. We know there are better brands out there that can handle less changes. The daytime diaper I wear is a good diaper, but I usually go thru 3 or 4 changes during the day instead of staying in a diaper for a long period. This does help with diaper rashes but I still get them sometimes. The only time I'm in a diaper for a long period is at night, and I use an overnight diaper with a lot of desitine.

Absorbency. I'm a tall, well-built male with severe continence issues. I need functionality first.

Fit is my first consideration. I used to like the Cushies cloth backed diaper that they don’t make anymore. It was easy to adjust and was fairly absorbent . I liked the baby look.

I choose my diapers solely on the fun factor. It's all about the feel for me. I want my diapers fairly thick. That bulk in the front and between my legs means my diapers are always on my mind. Especially if I'm out in public. As far as my need, a male guard would probably do the job but that would never do for me. Where's the fun in that? Then there's my rubber pants. The elastic clinging to my thighs and waist. It's hard for me not to concentrate on the wonderful confined feel the diapers and rubber pants give me. This set up gives my a huge thrill knowing I'm wearing diapers and rubber pants because I can't (and won't) control myself. When the inevitable happens and I'm hit with that overwhelming urge that comes with over active bladder, I just give in and don't fight it. OH! what a bad boy!!

I choose my disposable diapers based on discounted cost. Craigslist is a great resource, very few ABDL types but great prices. Besides, who's to know once your plastic pants are over them...

Diaper has to vevandorbent enough to last me 6 hours or more ,even though I am changed every 4 or sooner i like to plan dor the unexpected, i dont care about noise,i cant walkor toilet transfer so my diaper is my toilet ,bulkyness is also irrelevent as family friends and aides know i have to use diapers and i have to be changed ,

At home I wear custom cloth contours

With 2 soakers built in with double liners ,overnight is super heavy weight full coverage prefolds double lined with 2 soaker built in.

Oùt and about I wear various disposables based on what I am doing and expectation of a place to be changed or not and planned time to be there.COVID has made this planning hust about non existent .

When first I returned to diapers it was pin on cloth for the full comfortable feel, and the necessary plastic panties. However, out and about and changing, and carrying around, wet cloth diapers wasn't practical. Switching to disposable was less fun but easier, but they had a habit of leaking and I didn't like the leak to collect in the panties. Solution? Often now I wear a thick disposable covered by a pin on cloth and the plastic panties.

Efficient with the thick comfortable feeling and all that thickness adds to the 'can they tell' when I am out.

Functionality, absorbency, comfort, looks, noise ( i like crinkle).

Since I only bed wet now, I choose a highly absorbent overnight cloth pull-on diaper with plastic pants. Works great for me. I buy about 6 at a time. Wash them when I have peed in 3 or 4. Line dry, for two days, then into the dryer for 10 minutes on med-high heat to take out the stiffness. Then repeat as necessary. With proper care, they should last for years.

Since my wife returned me to diapers absorbency is number one on her list, because she especially hates when my diaper leaks from my plastic panties, she wants the bed and my clothes to stay on dry. At the beginning she bought me several washable diapers of different brands, some of my diapers I find them very uncomfortable to wear because of the weight and the stiffness of the cotton even when they are wet, recently she bought me a half dozen of the new LeakMaster night gauze cotton diapers, I have to say these are the best diapers I have had to wear so far, I even noticed that she had less difficulty pinning them to me unlike my other diapers, the diaper pins push it like butter, since I have to wear a diaper for a long time and go from night to next morning, my wife likes my diapers with my plastic panties to be absorbent enough to last me at least 8-10 hours, even though i did 4 or 5 pees that I'm safe without running away that this brand of diapers I'm wearing now has done a good job for me so far. In summary my diaper buying for my wife is based on the capacity to absorb. In addition she doesn't care how my diapers look with my plastic panties, she told me from now on I'll always be her fat baby. Finally for me I like that my diapers are silky and comfortable to wear with plastic panties that don't make too much noise when I move around, especially since I have to wear them 24 hours a day.

I choose them based on comfort, convenience, and capacity. That's why I wear Dry Direct pull ups. I give them a thumbs up in all 3 categories.

@Ionbaby ,I bat for both teams ,cloth at home disposables when on the road .it's a great way of economic and being enviromentaly conscious all around .

I don't get to wear as often as I want. So I look for how the diapers make me feel.

I love plastic, so plastic backed disposables are a must! Shiny, smooth and crinkly. A pair of plastic panties overtop. The Northshore supreme lite briefs are a current favorite because they are thin and let me know I am wearing a wet diaper. I also enjoy cloth with plastic panties. As long as I get to feel like a wet sissy boy for a little while.

I choose my diapers based on comfort absorbancy and on thickness.

I choose my diapers based on a few factors. Crinkles are not an issue if you have muffling waterproof pants or plastic pants that when warn under denim jeans become undetectable. I have warn my crinkliest diapers and a pant under jeans or shorts even and no one notices. If you make a big deal out of it they will notice. I have waddled right past my family, and blamed in on my ankles or knees hurting. It's not really a false blame but no one really bothers you unless you give them reason to. My diapers have to last for hours. I enjoy peeing them a ton and not changing unless I need to because they are expensive. I need to be able to express the little side to me and my diapers help shout out “hey I'm a sissy in pink rainbow cotton candy scented diapers, aren't I the cutest?!” They also have to be comfortable for hours of wear and tear. I like to sleep in my diapers so I need strong tabs and mobility.

My nighttime diapers are chosen soley for comfort and absorbancy so I wear plain cloth prefolds, two cloth inserts and milky white 7mil high back plastic pants. But during the day I and my fiancee like to dress me up in more colorful, fun and childish cloth diapers. I have many colors and patterns of cloth prefolds from Babykins and other sources, along with cute plastic pants in various colors and patterns, including cute cartoons. She changes my diapers and gets to choose which ones I get to wear that day. We all get a big kick out which diaper set I' wearing. Some are a good deal more sissy than others, especially my rumba pants.

Yes, I always try to choose from the most comfortable and absorbant diapers/nappies, when ever possible because of practicallity and because I can't always predict when I will have an embarrassing accident.

In fact last year in June of 2020 I choose a pair of ABU SIMPLE ULTRA in large just to see how good they where and I was totally amazed by not only how good the felt but also how absorbent they where.

I usually prefer plastic backed ones Vs cloth or paper ones but I will take anything that keeps me comfortable and dry even if they look babyish although usually speaking I don't care about looks

Although in some cases I do sometimes like the childish print on some products as it makes me feel young again and this helps me to regress back to my childhood years.

However because of the fact that I don't currently need to wear diapers/nappies full time or 24/7 as I am only partially incontinent I don't have a huge stash of clean or unused adult sized disposable diapers.

However I am looking into getting more later in life when I am older or if my medical condition gets worse over time.

Hope this helps awnser your questions.

I have always worn cloth diapers as a baby , childhood bedwetting, and over 30 years as an adult. I tried disposables and hated them they made me break out. I double diaper at night due to heavy wetting.I choose for comfort, they are soft and very absorbent, more than disposables, I have tried all kinds of cloth diapers over the years and found a few woman who make prefolds for me. I have always worn plastic pants along with them. Some women have tried to convince me to try and wear PUL covers but dont like them. I am a traditionalist at heart Love my cloth diapers I'm naked with out them LOL

Fit. I am a 31” waist. I am right in between most smalls and mediums. So, I am in a plastic tapes diaper that fits me just perfectly. I order them a half a case at a time. A must for me.

A mix of criteria, first and most importantly, the fit/comfort aka the cut of the diaper. as size are all over the place. Second will be absorbancy, as how long will a wear it. that goes along with plastic or cloth backed, is it hot or cold.

the look, I don't care as I'm a DL. and else will prefer a plain one to go in public.

Mine are based on absorption. Thick cloth diapers pinned on at night by my wife and Tranquillity ATN’s during the day both covered with plastic pants. I am on a 5 hr. change schedule during the day and they last just about right. The only exception is if I have lost my morning potty privileges as punishment and wear the ATN‘s for easier clean up. This can be from a weekend to a week at a time.

I used to choose them based on comfort and functionality, but now more on availability.

There are a lot of companies that won’t ship to Alaska or want a ridiculous amount of money to ship. One wanted $200 for one case of diapers. Carefree used to ship here, sent an email asking if I was ready to reorder and when I did, said they don’t ship here.

I found another and after several orders same thing happened. I am as able to phon them and for a small charge they ship, unfortunately they no longer carry the high quality diapers so I have to settle for less functionality.

For my fetish plastic backed disposables for my incontinence fit and comfort.

I am a adult baby so i choose mine for comfort holding capacity babyish looking ect

I am a Sissy baby and I wear terry nappies and frilly baby pants. They certainly make me feel and look like a big baby and they are comfortable also they are very absorbent. No doubt disposables are more convenient but I do love my terry nappies

Looks, comfort, fit, price. I must be in the old school PLASTIC BACKED diapers. I was raised in Pampers. We, generally, tend to go with what we know. So, I stick, mainly, with the plastic backed tape tab diapers within my price range.

I have always completely avoided the more premium diapers and stayed with the ones, in my affordable price range, that worked best. Prefer the more Pampers hourglass design.

I have lost most of my control of my legs and bladder so must be in them 24/7 . I look through these post's looking for tip's on what to were , what's comfortable , and what is least seen when out in public . So far i have found that the tape on's from from north shore {in blue} work the best for me . Now please some one address the issue of diaper rash!!! I suffer badly across my rear from heat rash and between my legs and scrotum even bleeding .

If I was choosing diapers for someone there are several things I would consider. One thing is fit. A diaper that fits well and is the correct size will be more comfortable to wear and less likely to leak.

Absorbency is important. Different occasions require different absorbencies. For example a nighttime diaper needs to be more absorbent because people often wet more than once during the night and they will be wearing the diaper all night. If we are at home and I can change them soon after they wet I will put them in a thinner diaper.

Discretion is important because some people are embarrassed to wear diapers. I would tell someone that it's ok to wear a thck, bulky diaper at night because no one is going to see them in it.

It's important to match the diaper to the occasion. I would also consider clothing that will hide the diaper
