r/adultdiapers

Hi all,

I am new to Reddit and need some advice. One of my friend’s was over my house and she found a pack of
NorthShore MegaMax that I keep in my bathroom cabinet. They are a very absorbent diaper that I wear because it can hold urine for up to 12 hours and I struggle with holding my pee because of cancer treatments. I like these diapers because I stay dry. She laughed at me and then went home.

Im lying in bed. Not feeling the best tonight and feel ashamed because I peed a very little bit. I only want to wear them until I’m done with cancer and treatments.

So I recently tested three of these models, they ranged from 7500 ml to 11000 ml absorbtion capacity. I must say I was not overly impressed. The filling clumped in the front part of the bottom layer and effectively blocked the back half from being used. They also sag quite noticeably. And I'm not a big fan of the Velcro. They loosened up once the sagging got heavy.

What am I missing here? I've seen a number of you really like this brand.

Hello, im currently trying to sell a large influx of retail grade and medical grade diapers of all sizes, all the packages are opened with a couple taken out of each. Does anyone know where the best place on here, or anywhere on the internet to sell these? Facebook is out of the question unfortunately. TIA!

I've been Incotinate for nearly twenty four years and for the last four years I'm being put in reusable cloth diapers and booster pads and plastic pants. They figured it would be much more cost effective to put me in reusable cloth diapers and plastic pants for my dual Incotinate needs. It's what I've had pinned on me for the last four years, in the beginning it was difficult for me to adjust to the bulkyness between my legs and no forgetting I was in diapers. But after a couple of months I started to feel better about having them pinned on me and wearing them 24/7 for my Incotinance needs. And relizing that they are much more comfortable than what the disposable diapers I was being put in prior to the reusable diapers. Now days I'm totally comfortable with being in them, they are more bulkyer but still not having to worry about any leaks or messes outside of my diaper and plastic pants.

I suffer from bedwetting issues and wear diapers at night. I notice the bin I throw them in after changes starts to smell pretty quicky. I take out the trash twice a week but it doesn't help that much. What's the best way to reduce odors between take-outs? I'm trying to hide from the people I live with but the smell is certainly not subtle!

I'm a security officer and I work with two other people and I've been struggling with incontinence and I'm afraid to wear my pull-ups to work and I can't take more with me because I don't have a locker what should I do I can take it in a backpack but I don't want anybody to go through it

Language around continence products can feel awkward or loaded. What style of wording feels most comfortable or useful to you?

Hey all, I post a few times on pros and cons of guards vs pullups. I've decided that I should probably be going the pull up route. Had a couple instances where the guards have come unstuck and then stuck to places I definitely don't want them to stick.

​

I have been diagnosed with OAB, and I don't know if with that knowledge I've become more anxious, but I have had trouble making it to the toilet when an urge hits, and it's usually more then just a spurt but not quite a flood?

​

I would like something with leak guards, but also discreet so I was thinking maybe goodnites xxl. But any thoughts would be very greatly appreciated.

Hello, I need some advice. I use Tena Flex Ultima in size M as protection, but I have a problem: urine collects at the front, causing leaks regardless of my position—standing, lying down, but especially sitting. Do you have any solutions?

Hi. I'm new to this sub. I really hope someone here can give me some advice on diapers.

​

I have two disabled 11 year old twins who are both incontinent and require diapers. They both are about the same size, so we have been buying the same kind for both.

​

My nonverbal son only really tolerates the Goodnites brand in XXL for their softness and fit due to his sensitivities. Doing the math we have been spending $420 a month on diapers (14 boxes, $30 each, each box has 24 diapers in it) and with the economy being the way it is we can't afford it anymore.

​

We have tried alternate brands and the "free" diapers you can get through aid programs, but my son rejects them because they feel very plastic and cheap.

​

Does anybody out there recommend a less expensive brand of diapers that maintains the same softness and quality of the Goodnites XXL that I could possibly order in bulk to save costs? Right now, each diaper is costing $1.25 each.

​

I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you in advance!

Not every challenge is medical; some are practical, emotional, or logistical. What frustrates you most often?

So ive gotten size large tabbed adult diapers and im really not sure what the best way to put them on is i keep feeling like they're both too tight snd too loose at the same time which shouldn't be since they're my size and I measured and everything. Can anyone walk me through how to put them on myself?

I’m looking for a diaper that in your opinion you deem to be the “best product” you’ve ever tried and I’m hoping to find something for nighttime ideally but also could work for daytime use as well. I’m recently suffering from bladder incontinence and I’m curious if you could help me find something that works. What has been the best disposable underwear you have found?

I have bowel incontinence that mostly happens at night that is more liquid than anything else. I have been wearing abri form m4 diapers at night but I want to transition to a pull up style, are there any suggestions you guys would make.

Hi, I am turning 18F in a few weeks, and I have been suffering from bedwetting my entire life. My issue isn't bladder-related; it's sleep-related. When I sleep, I get into a coma-like state where I am in an extremely deep & heavy sleep to the point that my senses no longer work, and I don't wake up no matter what. I cannot hear, smell, or even feel anything. It's like I'm unconscious. Because of this, I can't hear alarms, so setting up alarms at night to wake up and pee is impractical for me. For this reason, at night when I have to pee, my body doesn't send me signals that my bladder is full and I should wake up - instead, it just.. releases all the urine and I only realise that I've wet my bed again when I wake up in the morning.

Now here's the issue. I am starting college soon, and I'll have to go to a hostel where no single rooms are available. This means that I'll have roommates. And for obvious reasons, it is highly troubling to me because I don't want other people having to sleep in the same room as me. After all, I can understand how, to the normally functioning person, my condition is extremely weird. Added to that, my roommates will also have to deal with the smell of the urine throughout the entire night, as I won't realise that I've wet my bed and will probably wake up the latest out of all the roommates. It is going to be a nuisance to them as well as me.

I cannot afford to buy adult diapers to wear every night for the next 3 years because they are expensive and out of my financial range. This brings us to my question - for someone with total incontinence (urinal), will reusable diapers/pull-ups work? And if so, from where would you guys suggest I buy reusable diapers/pull-ups from? Reusable ones are much more affordable and eco-friendly, and that will definitely be most practical for me too. My family doesn't want me to go to this college because of my bedwetting situation, but this college and degree have been something I have been working on pursuing for the last 2 years, so it is quite important to me that I go and get into this college. Kindly help me out with suggestions and recommendations; it will mean the world to me.

Hi friends!

My work just bought a company in the UK and I’m going to be flying over every three weeks. To quell my incontinence related anxiety, I did some research on support, places to buy and other differences for adult diaper needs. I was THRILLED to learn about Changing Places Toilets and how wide spread they seem to be.

Now, UK friends, what’s your actual experience with them? Are they clean, dirty? Functional? Easy to find?

The idea of wash room with a shower seems like a gift from heaven; but I can imagine it could get gross inside.

Let me know!!
