BowsAndRibbons Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have 17 (it was a pack of 20, but I used some) pull up, basically store brand diapers that would probably be good stuffers (they don't hold much). I am willing to trade these for an equal number (or a few less, I understand these are really cheap diapers) for anything that will fit me and hold more than one wetting. I wear a size 16 in women's jeans, and have large thighs compared to my waist. The only reason I want to trade instead of just buying new ones and giving these away is I have no idea what to buy. I have tried 3 different brands/styles. I'm not picky, but if I had my dream diapers, they would have a lot of cushion between the legs, but have ways for easy changing (diapered dorm life sucks) and disposal. Link to comment
babyleanna75 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 It would be helpful to know the size of the pullups and the actual size of your waist in inches. Hope you find someone to trade. Link to comment
babyleanna75 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Also what country you live in. Link to comment
BowsAndRibbons Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 The size of the pull ups are medium, and I have no idea my size in inches. I'll have to find a measuring tape and get back to you. Link to comment
BowsAndRibbons Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Oh jeez.. I'm really sorry, still getting used to this. I live in the USA specifically Wisconsin. I'm totally willing to pay shipping or whatever. I just don't want to spend money on another pack that I don't know will work. I was hoping that by trading someone, I could trust their judgement.

I'll have to find a measuring tape and get back to you.The waist size is important for getting proper fitting diaper, but if you fit into medium pullups you probably a medium. I had a pack of large Tranquility ATNs tape on style, I would have given you for price of shipping Link to comment
BowsAndRibbons Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 I feel like in general, medium pull ups are too small and large ones are too big. So I need a size almost large Link to comment
babyleanna75 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Diapers are suppose to cover the belly button. So if the mediums fit tight and don't cover the belly button, you are probably a large in diaper size. Since you can't find a proper fitting pullup you should try tape on style. You can call NorthShore by going to NorthShore.com and getting there #, NorthShore supreme comes in plastic backed or cloth like backing I'd get mediums and large free samples. Now you can Google Tranquility or any other diaper manufacturers and call there #s and get free sample. I rrecommend the Tranquility ATNs. Now you can go to Restored Living.com and get free samples there, I recommend getting the abena X Plus plastic backed L4s and M4 at Restored Living. Now the mediums might not be the proper fitting diaper for you remember that a proper fitting diaper extends up to the belly button or past it. So give tape on diapers a try. And if you can't get rid of your pullups here you can donate them to a thrift store or a homeless shelter. Link to comment
babyleanna75 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 BowsAndRibbons read post above first. The large may seem a bit big but they will probably be the proper fitting diaper. I have to wear large diapers because they are the proper fitting diaper for me they are a little big on me. Link to comment

Baby Brian Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I second all of this too. A proper fitting diaper will extended to your bellybutton, will have at least an inch or two on the sides, and will provide a snug fit all the way around your legs. Ignore the size charts since every manufacturer is going to be different any ways. I am a 34“ waist and need to wear large diapers. I could "fit" into a medium, but it won't be a proper fit.

Hookedondiapers Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 You mean pullups run smaller than diapers. In my experience, pull ups run larger than diapers. Link to comment
babyleanna75 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Maybe In the UK they are bigger than diapers, but in the US they are smaller than diapers. I wear large diapers and the xlarge pullups are to small. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Can we please take the sizing discussion elsewhere, and let the topic stay on the subject of the Freecycle offer? Link to comment
ut8ft Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Diaperbuys.com is based in MI and offers free samples and free shipping on orders and samples and they have another site if you want to bill insurance/medicare/medicaid and have a script for incontinence supplies Link to comment
