  1. The article never really tells why the diapers were sent. There could be several guesses but I wonder what her reason for diapers was?
  2. Many people fly diapered, incontinent or not. Ill go out on a limb here and say this isn't the first time the TSA has saw this and they know what's up. I posted this a bit ago but here I go again. I did the full body scanner not long ago with a big diaper on, a couple soaker and it was a bit wet. My butt area got flagged. The guy told me to pull my pants up high as they thought it was a bit too baggy of jeans and that's why it was going off. I hiked them up a bit. Now, I'm not going ganster style with my jeans but they were originally at my waist. Now they're a bit above. Redo scan. Nope, still flagged. They told me to really hike em up so i did. My crotch at that point to anyone in front of me probably made it obvious I was diapered as it had a smooth front. Scan and pass. My guess, they saw I was diapered possibly and hiking my pants confirmed. That or my baggy pants weren't as baggy anymore. The TSA people were nice about it joking with me that they didn't want to do a search so kept having me retry. It wasn't really a big deal but by the 3rd scan if it didn't work I think I would've just told the guy why it may be. IDK, never got there but nerve racking none the less. To do it again if I'm traveling with people and don't want to be super padded right away fearing exposure, there's always the option of putting a diaper in the carryon to put on in the bathroom once you're through security.
  3. Exactly Brian. I honestly think if it isn't a consistent problem where many users are having tapes pop then it's user error. I have inadvertantly myself touched the tape area a bit too much and the tapes came loose. Found a "clean" area and reapplied with the second tab. I have also had an issue where I realized the baby powerder was putting down a seemingly unnoticable layer over the plastic as I'd apply the bottom tapes, powder then the top tapes. Bottom tapes were always strong, top ones popped here and there. Once I realized the mistake, I cautiously used powder making sure it didn't plume up at all and no issues. Anyway, you really shouldn't be having tape pop issues with the dry 24/7. If you are, see if it's something you may be doing instead.
  4. I'm pickin' up what you're throw in' down Kayla. If one tries to experiment after seeing this movie, that road could lead anywhere, including here! Even if it's not here, the minds could be opened up and this fetish may not be as weird or frowned upon to a person as it once was. I hear ya. Might take a movie like this to open up ones mind. We were all virgins once and had to learn or experiment. This movie may put a few ideas in the minds of the audience.
  5. If it's a one time thing, dispose of the diaper at a gas station or fast food restaurants trash can outside. Personally not a fan of tossing my trash in other peoples dumpsters. Your trash, your problem.
  6. Being a 24/7 wearer, these questions and responses kinda humor me sometimes. Yes! I do go outside, drive, go to the store, vacation, walk, run, jump and play in my diaper and even wear to bed. Anyway, back to the cold weather in a diaper experience. Being from Minnesota we definitely have some cold winters. I have, as you can imagine, gone outside when it's cold out! Diapered!!! From my experience, being padded is a catch 22. If it's dry and thick, yes, it can protect against the cold and feels kinda good. On the other hand, I've been outside for a while in a very saturated diaper. No big deal. Felt like a wet warm towel hugging me around my waist. Ahhhh... That is until I came inside, sat down and it felt like I was sitting on an ice pack!! Oh boy, I could tell where the diaper sagged a bit and took on the cold over the body heat! It was a very weird feeling but kinda, cool... Anyway, after literally freezing my butt off, I'm a little more careful about wearing a drier diaper if I'll be outside in the cold for a prolonged period of time. I'd hate to get frostbutt.
  7. Every plan is going to be similar and different from what I gather. My wife's plan vs mine vary on the wording. Anyway in my experience, this is the first year I've used FSA for my incontinence problems. I have no prescription and as of recently, my flex and my wife's no longer require one either. I have made a purchase from Amazon sold from NorthShore Care, submitted my Amazon receipt and Northshore Care invoice from in the box and had approval. I also ordered a case from XP Medical and that too was approved. I think as long as the company is a "medical" company like NorthShore even if bought through Amazon or XP Medical, you won't have issue. I could see it being a harder sell to buy Bambinos and then have the FSA Google it to find who it is and get to their website. I guess if you really want Bambino's, buy the Blancos and through a different company that's more medical based like DME who carry Bambinos line. Same pricing or sometimes better. Having talked to the owner of DME as he lives near me, most cases from him are drop shipped as in, he never touches them, they come from Bambinos warehouse direct to you and he just handles the transaction. Submitting a claim directly linked back to Bambino I don't see as a smart move. I realize the cost for print is the same as non print but you need to see it in the eyes of who you may be explaining it to if you had to face to face. I wonder if Bambino has outside medical distributors for this reason. I can see they'd want to pop up on other diaper suppliers website to steer you away from another company and into them too but why else give up a slice of their pie to an outside distributor especially when they're still the ones shipping the item out?
  8. I'd go down a size. A leak is often from a gap somewhere if the diapers not saturated of coarse. 24/7's run a bit big so that's likely the issue. See my review on the Dry 24/7 thread I posted today and the experience I had of wearing too big of an Abena L4. Needless to say, bigger isn't always better even if there's more coverage. A good diaper is a fitting diaper.
  9. As others have said, checked bag. That and the TSA checks through bags, not airlines. I once was really padded for a flight. Thick diaper and boosters. I had to go through the full body scanner a couple times. It flaged something at my waist. Agents just told me to really pull up my pants high as they could go. Said it's probably my loose jeans setting it off. We were all kinda laughing about it but I knew then what it was once they said why it triggers. I think I did it 3 times before I passed. They were joking they didn't want to have to pat me down. I was praying they didn't need to. I still wonder if they knew the real reason was a diaper or just assumed, baggy jeans. Anyway, lastly I'll say, I don't find flying a big deal as a few here have mentioned. Big deal, a scanner, X-rays, whatever. Be smart about it before you get to the airport and flying's a really good way to see the world! I've made it through security with no line in under a minute. Scanned my bag, scanned me, off I went exploring the world! Vacations!!
  10. Ugh. I, I, don't even know what to say. I feel we're all one accidental click or tap from jumping off the cliff at times. Ahh, to answer the question though... Ummmm, Change him?? He looks a little wet??
  11. I have diapers stashed here and there but not necessarily a Diaper Bag. I have a diaper in a non see through plastic bag in both my vehicles as spares stashed away out of sight. I also have the same thing at work in my cubby. I do have a small little nap sack that I often stash a couple in at times. Occasionally I have a travel size baby powder and often a booster in each bag. I like using the plastic bag as it's easily tossed after I grab my stash, change and toss the used one in it then in the trash. Much more concealed I feel and easier to manage. Once I've used up one in my stash, I replenish it as soon as I can. I use highly absorbent diapers so I don't often go somewhere where I need a change before I'm back home but in the off event I do, its good to have a spare nearby!! I've used them plenty!!
  12. If you were thinking along the routes of diaper pauls, I have a Dekor XL. I will tell you it's okay as a diaper pail but with anything, if given enough time, the smells with make their way through. The best solution is to eliminate remove the soiled diapers frequently. I only do # 1's so I'll tell you, the dekor may last a few days before the stack of diapers start to smell a bit and after a week, forget it. The room is starting to smell. The pail usually fills before a week anyway if I'm home enough for changes. I personally don't recommoned a pail like the Dekor really as it isn't a cheap item to own. The initial expense plus the bags adds up. I have purchased Sassy brand diaper sacks online. I think they're available in some stores too. Anyway, they're scented bags and for the most part and adult diaper can fit into it and tied shut unless it's very soaked. Also, I'm basing this on a size Abena M4 as reference. Another option over expensive ziplocks are getting scented garbage bags. Get the smaller waste basket size. I've bought the Ruffies brand vanilla scent in a roll from Target and have seen it at other stores as well. Very compact and they come with Twisties. Lastly, it's often easier to toss out a day's supply of diapers than a weeks worth in a sack weighing 50 pounds so if you do that, you shouldn't have odors, especially if it's only # 1's. Hope this helps!
  13. Bought a case from XP a few weeks ago. Bought another case now that they're on sale. Was very happy with my purchase (obviously). I most often wear an Abena M4. I love the fit, absorbency, leg guards, plastic cover and other high end features. I've worn the Abena as my primary diaper for nearly 3 years, 24/7. Well, that may be changing soon. I really, really like the Dry 24/7! I didn't think I could really find a better diaper than my Abena. I have tried just about everything on the market available to me. I believe I've tried an older version of the Dry 24/7 a few years back as a sample but it was prior to becoming a full time diaper user and also when I was a size large, now a medium. I think back then too, I wasn't into spending over a buck a diaper either. Being 24/7 though, I need to go for quality and absorbency and find that cost per diaper isn't the way to look at it. Also as active as I am, I drink plenty of fluids and I need a diaper that can often last me 9 plus hours like at work. I will often still use a booster even in a premium diaper to go longer between changes. After about 30 dry 24/7's, I find myself reaching for these over my Abena's more and more. I have put them through the test over the last few weeks doing a lot of travel and walking, work and play. I've given the absorbency a test with days of great liquid consumption while active and just sitting around. They've held up and I've gained trust in them quickly. My review: First off, the 24/7's definitely run a bit large. For a medium, they have a higher rise and larger wing span than any other medium I've ever worn. It's not a bad thing though. It is still functional to wear for me and I don't mind it one bit. The large dual waistbands help keep everything snug and fit along with the large leg cuffs having several bands of elastic to eliminate gaps. The higher rise is not too high and is actually good added coverage. Conversely, I still have some older Abena L4's from when I was bigger that I've tried to use now that I'm a medium. You'd think being a bigger diaper with more absorbency and greater coverage would be better. Wrong. That diaper swaddles me. Too big means gaps and a diaper coming half way up my stomach creating a very awkward feeling. Needless to say, too big of a diaper, no good. Even though the 24/7 is a bigger medium, by no means is it a large. If anything, I'd say a Regular. If there's any question, compare your diaper to the sizing of this on XP Medicals website. The absorbency is amazing. Again, being 24/7 for several years I can tell you it's not too hard to gage a good diaper and how absorbent it is in an average day and how long I can go between changes. The Dry 24/7 definitely swells up and holds a lot. More than the Abenas and I'd say honestly, I cannot think of a more absorbent diaper than the Dry 24/7. It absorbs quick enough too and more importantly, without leaking. The paddings area is expansive and I feel confident sitting or standing in most positions. The wicking of the padding is excellent so I get full use of it. The stand up leg guards inside are tall and do their job. The look of the diaper is nice too. All white plastic shell. Nice and simple. Tape tabs are refastanble once like many other diapers with a blue tape under the white tape. Tabs are nice and wider than many. I have yet to have a tape pop loose. Overall, this is quickly becoming my favorite diaper. I like all the premium features and mostly the added absorbency over my trusted Abena. I think the Abena will always have a place in my diaper arsenal as I see myself moving over to the Dry 24/7 diaper as my primary. I personally like to keep an assortment of diapers on hand in various absorbency ranges for a variety of reasons. As far as the cost. When you break it down, the cost of the Dry 24/7 may run as high as $1.60 a diaper ($115/case of 72) and like the $100/case right now at XP, about $1.38. Comparing it to my tried and true Abena M4's, I'm looking at the best pricing I've got of around $1.26 a diaper on Amazon from NSC ($53/case of 42). Currently about a 12 cent price difference at both diapers best case pricing I've found. Hands down I'd take the Dry 24/7. Even at the price spread of around 34 cents it starts to be a bit of a wash in absorbency but I think I'd still take the Dry 24/7 as it can mean an extra hour or two before a change is needed. A lot of people may not like the price point of the Dry 24/7 but for someone who wears 24/7 I look at more than cost per diaper like I said. Wearing 3 of these a day, sometimes even 2 are enough. That's under $5 a day. If many people were wearing 24/7 and who drink plenty of fluids a day, you'd quickly discover the hassle, constant wet feeling, leaks, never ending changes and expense of 8, cheaper 80 cents diapers. Been there, done that, the system doesn't work. Last thing I'll say about the Dry 24/7 that I think some people may overlook is that this diaper is made here in the U.S. Many people here in the U.S. tend to think the only good diapers come from Europe or overseas somewhere. Well, this diaper proves a good quality, highly absorbent diaper with premium feature that's budget friendly can and is being made right here on U.S. soil and I'm happy to be their customer!
