I use Molicare Super with two Abri-Let Normal boosters. I used to use Abena X-Plus with their Maxi boosters but sadly they are no longer available. Yes this solution works great for me although it is very bulky and can be quite obvious at times, especially when sitting down, for example. Still this is the best solution for me.

I do not like changing my diaper at work and like you am sitting down most of the day with little chance to take care of it. I have used the Abena M4 with Northshore Care 2xl boosters. That combination has allowed me to last a good 12 to 16 hrs.

I do change up what I use and wear depending on what I am going to be doing and where I am at, but for a normal 8hrs I can get by with an Abena M4 or a Northshore Care Supreme diaper by itself, but many times I will use a lesser diaper for a doubler just to be safe.

Try the dry 24/7 as i have used the abena m4 but found the dry to be superior to the arena in every way. The tapes are stronger too and they do not fall apart as easily either or at all if you use a booster. I cannot saw the same for the abena. I often have to do alot of moving around at work and even when very wet this combo still works great. The daysall by themselves will hold 90oz max but i doubt anyone wears their diapers to max capacity. I can't or i get a very bad rash. I am want to try the north shore booster pads as they hold more than the tranquility. When I'm out I'll give it a go.

When Dry 24/7 was first out I did use them, but now, I am able to buy from Northshore Care using my FSA medical card which has really helped me. I have found that the Abena M4's do break down when there is lots of movements and or I use any kind of diaper rash cream. The new Northshore Supreme diapers are much better than the Abena and when active don't break down either.

I am a cheap scape, so when I can, I do wear my diapers till they are maxed out in capacity, lol. The fewer changes I can get away with, the cheaper it is, lol. The only times I get any type of rashes is when I have to use cloth backed diapers. So if/when I have to wear them, they never get to max because I too don't want a rash.

Are they as good as dry 24. I can get away with theexpence because the VA helps me out but before they did i can really understand the whole cheepskate thing cuz that was me. I also love to fly and small planes have no restrooms mine is only a two seater.

I've flown passenger, and there was a funnel & tube gadget for males - but not so convenient for the pilot without a co-pilot.

I've just had a change to Vlesi ATN for daytime use. They are a bit more bulky than my usual diaper but i have had to because of my recent car crash and not being able to change myself without help from the incon nurse, which means i dont change frequently. Also i have to now take stool softeners to help me to go to the toilet as i have been told to not put strain on my back from straining to go to the toilet.
These diapers last a lot longer than the other diapers i was using, i am able to go 8 hours without a change if needs must. These were recommended by the incon nurse because I keep having accidents owing to the stool softeners.

We use booster pads as well. Usually to get Me through the night. And often through the morning when My bowel is most active. The Tranquility ATN briefs & boster pads are what We use. I can go completely through the night without needing to be changed usually with that. If I have a bowel event. Usually the booster can just be changed unless it was a bad one. Saves from using so many briefs. I'm in bed 2/3 of the time and at home most of the rest of the time in a wheelchair so I don't worry about the bulkyness of it. If I do have to go somewhere using a overnight brief and booster helps so I don't have to worry about needing to be changed outside of home. I don't get out often because its just impractical at this point.

When I called the medical supply company that provides me with my diapers, which are covered by my health insurance fortunately, the gentleman I spoke with at customer service had a helpful saying about selecting absorbent products.

He said, "it's like picking out a pair of shoes. No one size or type of shoe is going to fit or satisfy everyone." He said he's been helping people out with incontinence products for ten years now. I found this comment to be particularly apt and relevant, especially with the problem that I have continued to have with leaks.

I did some more research online, specifically about how to stop leakage from occurring with an adult diaper. One particular point that interested me wsa the issue of the leg seal. The elastics have to form a snug fit around the leg openings.

The recommendation was to run your finger around the elastics inside the leg openings, to make sure that the leg seal is snug but not too tight. in my particular situation, there are ruffles around the leg openings of my pull-ups, and these need to be on the outside, not the inside.. Also, there was advice concerning the size of the diaper. Too loose or too tight, and the diaper will gap and leak.

So, I thought long and hard about how I could stop my pull-ups from leaking. It seemed to me that the key problem was that the leaks were focused on the leg openings and leg seal. I also considered whether or not I was using the right liner or booster pad.

I read a comment on another website that stated that many liners have a plastic backing with adhesive in which the liner adheres to the diaper. This actually defeats the purpose of the liner, which is to provide extra absorbency and leakage protection.

The reason for this is because the plastic does not allow the moisture to pass through the liner into the diaper. Thus, only the liner is absorbing the liquid, and not the diaper as well. However, there are notable exceptions to this, such as the Tranquility Booster Pads. This is because these type of booster pads do not have a plastic backing on the adhesive side, allowing the moisture to pass through into the diaper or pull-up. This ensures that absorbency will be maximized.

Despite putting all these strategies into effect however, I still had leakage out the leg openings. This indicated to me that the leg seal was not competely closed, or snug, around the leg openings. So, this evening, I decided to try something a bit unique and novel.

The first thing I did was to unfold and open one of my pull-ups, then put it on about halfway up my legs, so I could put some pads inside it. Then, after removing the plastic strips on the adhesives, I put two Tranquility Booster Pads (the ones that hold about 10 ounces of liquid each) inside the pull-up, stacking them one on top of each other, the top one staggered about an inch or so to the side of the bottom one.

I made sure these two pads were secured well inside the pull-up, and in the proper place: just below the waistband, extending downward into the bottom of the pull-up, and finally ending about halfway up the back of the pull-up. Finally, I put on a second pull-up over the first one with the booster pads, and I re-checked the leg seal and leg openings for a good, snug fit.

Not long after this, I developed an urge to urinate, and had a full void of my bladder. Rather than trying to hold it in, I simply just let it flow. I was very relieved to discover that there were no leaks this time, even after a full void! In fact, I was this combination of pull-ups and booster pads was able to hold a good deal more than the first full void, without any major leaks.

i have also ordered a pair of Sani-Pant nylon cover-up pants, and I plan to use those on top of my pull-ups when they arrive, to provide even greater protection. I have tried plastic pants, and they were too hot and uncomfortable. I also recently tried a pair of vinyl pants, but I ordered them much to large in size. I am hoping that the Sani-Pant pants I ordered will do the trick.

I read in this support forum about putting a pair of cotton underwear on over the diaper, and then a pair of vinyl pants, or the like, over that combination. I am still debating whether I might try putting cotton briefs on, either over the pull-ups, then put the nylon pants on over everything, or perhaps put the nylon pants over the pull-ups, then the cotton underwear on over evrything instead. I will try out both scenarios, and post an update on what I found worked best.

I do hope that my experiences in this regard will help you folks out. This has been a very frustrating and long struggle for me to find a working solution. Hopefully, together, we can find solutions for the problems we face, with courage, dignity, and hope.

I find a layer of cotton briefs under waterproof pants useful to catch leaks - and easier to dry than a sheet. "Trial & Error" as usual - what works for one may not work for another! Good luck

Hi. Just an update. Just this morning, I got samples from my medical supply company, of the Large size pull-ups. I am trying one out now, with two Tranquility booster pads inside. This size seems to fit better than the X-large. It is definitely smaller, assuredly. I am hoping that the leg seal on this size is better, so as to prevent leaks. I did receive the Sani-Pant nylon cover-up pants. They also seem to help, though I find them not as practical as I hoped. This is due to the fact that they do contain the leaks, but when I take them off for a change, the leaked moisture spills out of them. I have been so frustrated with this whole thing that I have seriously considered not even wearing diapers anymore. If it turns out that the smaller size pull-ups work better, I would have to go through the whole authorization process all over again with my health insurance. In addition, my liners/booster pads have yet to be approved. This whole process has been painfully slow. I am unsure as to whether I have the patience to stick it out until I find the best solution, honestly. Well, I suppose I will try and see if I can find a workable solution. Wish me luck!

It is probably not a good idea to use a liner inside of a diaper unless it is specifically made without a plastic backing and is designed to be used as a booster.

Tranquility has two booster pads. A small 14 inch one and a full size one. Medline also has a booster pad.

Your best bet is to find the right diaper product that hold the amount you need it to hold. In my opinion, Tranquility and Wellness Briefs are the best.

I wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I find that if I wear a pair of cotton men's briefs over the diaper then the waterproof pant, then there is something to absorb any leaks. I have also tried using a cloth baby diaper inside a super absorbent diaper as a boost pad. It wicks moisture very well and helps distribute the moisture better. You might want to check out the new super absorbant diapers from Northshore care at: http://www.northshorecare.com/diapers/overnites1/northshore-airsupreme-briefs.html This is the cloth type covering and they also have the plastic backed diaper as well. I have tried both and they work very well. This is such a trial and error thing for all of us, just hang in there and you will find something that works. Let us know how you are doing.
