    • Thanks for this.  Not an expert on fraternities, so I really appreciate your feedback.
    • Maybe a couple of days.  I've had a couple of pull-ups that early on in my 24/7 career I wore simply as insurance (typically during exercise) and didn't wet.  They generally clumped and started to fall apart after 2 days.  At their end-of-mechanical-life (ie: the stuffing was breaking up) I doubt they had any holding capacity left. THE most cost-effective diaper is cloth but there's capital cost up front and work involved for laundry.  You need a laundry. The second most cost-effective diaper I've found is to use 2 x high capacity nappies/diapers per day instead of loads of el-cheapo ones.  This is what I do now on my non-cloth days (typically 4 of the 7 in the week). Absolutely this.  Theoretically you strap on a super-diaper and remain in it for 24 hours.  This is only safe and inoffensive if you are wet only but even then, I've found that no matter what capacity, the diaper becomes itchy, saggy and uncomfortable around hour 16 and I find myself longing to change it.  I have actually done 24 hours but only because the last few hours I wasn't trying to work in it, just sitting quietly counting down the clock.  Never has a hot shower felt so good.  
    • Megamax ARE now available in Australia (through the single remaining supplier) but they are priced very much as an ultra-premium product.  Anything other than the “extra small” is A$60/US$42 per packet (which contain only 10 vs Rearz/InControl at 12, 16 or in the case of the Active Air, 20) and that’s before delivery charges Whilst I’m sure that’s fine for the weekend warriors (no disrespect to occasional, recreational users), it’s not financially viable as a 24/7 proposition on a fixed retiree income.  Even at the current monopoly pricing, Rearz/InControl are 20 – 60% cheaper down here. The Megamax (before delivery) works out nearly 60% more expensive than the BeDry day weight which would be my Rearz fall-back from the Active Air! If Megamax had more competitive pricing (maybe on their plain white models with case discounts for the 24/7 user) I’d trial them to see how they stack up for nights.  They’re probably overkill for days. I can dimly recall the proprietor of Littles Downunder telling me that Rearz drop-shipped to him straight out of China but he had to order by the container load to make that happen.  He also mentioned that anything less (he once tried ordering a pallet) resulted in pricing so high few would be able to afford them.  I wonder if Megamax are bouncing through the USA and/or arriving by the pallet load and that’s what makes them unaffordium for daily use.
    • I would have already ordered some of these, but they never came in XL.  
    • Oh it's a no-brainer at this point.  Ruby's going to backstab her, and Noelle's going to put her in tape-on diapers instead of pull-ups for "trying to lie about it".
