    • @undertheradar:  I've been meaning to comment on this.  While @Stroller makes a lot of good comments, I have some additions.  Like you I have been having trouble finding protective pants with proper leg elastic size for my usage in the US market.  For North America made products, we are down to two main suppliers - Gary, which most of the folks resell, and Kins (Baby Kins), which is out of British Columbia, CA.   When I first needed these items as an adult, I was getting inexpensive vinyl pants from V.I. Products, and after they went out of business, for a short while from Comco (Mfg), who went out of business a short time later.  Initially, the Gary PUL pants worked as a replacement, but it wasn't long till they loosened the tension on the leg elastics to the point that I there is too much variation in manufacturing to guaretee a proper leg seal / fit on me for the size I need over my night time cloth diapers.  I haven't tried the EuroFlex pants sold by LL Medico that @Stroller mentions, I probably should order a pair to try, but based on LL Medico's web site sizing chart this looks like the same size I see everywhere for Gary protective pants, so I expect to be just a little loose in the legs when I get the size I need for night diapers.  : (   While I still use the Gary manufacture PUL pants (due to lack of good options), I am now routinely wearing the PUL pants @DailyDi is selling on biggerdiapers.com .  While I don't personally like the cut of these pants, imported from Asia (China?), they do work for me -- proper sealing at the legs.  Due to the cut of the pants I have to make sure I get all the cloth diaper material properly tucked in as I put on the pants.  Also, I had to go up one size for the imported Asian pants over what I typically order from North America manufactures. In the past, trying some from Kin's I didn't like their cut of the pants.  However, I am now considering sending measurements into them and seeing what a custom order (size, style, fit, etc.) might cost, for both protective pants and for onsies (since Tykables may be on the way out, based on what is left on their web site).  [So far, Tykables white t-shirt onsies have had the best fit and quality that I've found for my usage.]  There is at least one incontinent user on this site that does quantity special orders from Kins made to his measurements. As to diapers, (and my Gary PUL pants orders), they have come from adultclothdiaper.com .  I use their flat, gauze weave Purity 4 layer night diapers in the small (vs large) size.  Two at a time minimum.  Three (or after a bit of wear, four) at night time to get the layering / absorption I need. I've commented on this a number of previous times where I've included links.  See the cloth diaper sub form. It sounds like both of us need smaller leg sizes than what the current main US manufacture supports in their current "standard" configuration.  You might find something from Asia fits your needs.  Or maybe a special order (which might not be inexpensive).  In any case, if you find something that works for you I'm interested in hearing as it might turn into a better solution for me. Its been awhile since I've looked, but Angel Fluff diaper company allows for special ordering the protective pants with leg opening sized one or two sizes smaller.  Not cheap.  
    • I read about it in an adult magazine, before the internet.
    • Ha! I noted in passing that I hadn't won the day for a calendar year, and that as often as not, it was actually my wife that won, based on something she said. And voila, the Universe heard, apparently, because here we are - I guess Thursday was a slow news day, and the post was based on something she said. My eternal thanks to those of you who liked it - I'm not in this for the likes, but that said, it is gratifying to know that occasionally, someone, somewhere finds some value in the time I spend at this. I definitely feel better, sharing my thoughts on this strange journey, as mundane as they sometimes may be. "Here he is, 107 pages in, still talking about his underpants..." But I guess it's not just about the diapers, is it? In other "news", I stayed over at a good buddy's place, a member of the team who don't know, so far as I know. He'd invited me out for drinks, with a plan to go try and end up connecting with another buddy, who was having a birthday, but who is notoriously incommunicado at certain times of the year, playoff hockey season being one of them. I threw an overnight bag into the car on a lark, but didn't have a firm plan to need it, because I generally don't stay over at this person's house - I would probably have left my car on his driveway, and taken a rideshare car home, but when I got there, his wife immediately opened with "We've set up the bed in the basement for you." I looked at my buddy, and said, "It's going to be that kind of night, is it?", and he nodded.  And it was. My overnight bag was used to good effect, and I am going to employ an overused phrase, in saying that I slept "like a baby", in my lined plastic pants. They were not required, but they provided peace of mind - I don't know what I'd have done, if I'd wet that bed. Started a controlled fire? Stole the mattress, in the middle of the night?  I had a couple of reminders, again today, from the people around me who do know. First, my friend from a town down the highway, he of the bed-pocalypse, sent me an Instagram spoof advertisement for what can best be described as bicycle shorts attached to a shop vac, purported to solve the problem of "bed pooping", which was demonstrated in a graphic video. It was hilarious, but a tap on the shoulder, because I do sleep in a ridiculous contraption, of sorts, just not one requiring electricity. I was acutely aware, last night, in the less familiar territory of a fold-out couch bed in an open basement, of the enormity of my midsection. If someone came down, or if I had to run upstairs, say, because the basement was filling with bees, what I was in would be unmistakable. I don't worry about that at Dave & Anne's, because I assume that they'd have an appreciation for the obvious caution I was taking with their linens, if they saw me waddling down the hall some fine morning. But at this house, it would all have been breaking news.  I responded to his reel with a laughing emoji. What else could I do? I'm lucky he's just rolling with the fact that his friend of 30+ years wears diapers when he comes over.  The second reminder was from Victoria, the lady on my street, who was over to talk gardens again, when I got home from my buddy's. I was (and am) in an XL Active Air, and those rise pretty high on my form - I can wear a size Large pretty handily, as well, but I'd reached for the XL without realizing what I packed. When I got out of my car, it was doing that thing where the protruding waistband had rolled down over my beltline, essentially, because of sitting in the car. I didn't think about it when I walked into my house, because there were no signs anyone else was there - Victoria generally walks over, rather than drives. But there she was, sitting in my kitchen, drinking tea, so I said a quick hello, and went to go putter - empty the trash can under the counter, tidy up, etc, and leave them to their planning session - I have no input into what goes in the garden, I have learned. My only role is to pull out what I'm told to, and nothing else - I once famously "weeded" out something she'd deliberately planted. I won't make that mistake again. "Fix your shirt...", she said casually, causing me to check my lower back immediately, but I found my sweatshirt doing its job back there, though I gave it a tug before bending to extract the garbage bag from the cupboard.  "No, the front, honey," she added, and I looked over at her & Victoria, who were both smiling slightly, looking up from an iPad on the table between them. I found the front of my sweatshirt with my hand, realized it was more or less in place, then realized I had diaper material folded down over my belt, that white Tyvek stuff that's not quite as obvious as plastic, but I realized immediately that they both knew what it was. Stifling the urge to bolt out of there and take a moment to collect myself and reposition, I said, "Oh, ha, right, thank you - I hadn't noticed, uh, that...", and then I turned a corner behind the kitchen island and did a quick re-tuck, before returning for the half-finished trash extraction, then I put in a new bag, and headed out to the garage.   
    • had some Greek yogurt, raspberries and grinola.
    • Look up the cost of 8-10 cases of high quality diapers which you will go through each year and see how that factors into your budget. If you keep your control you can still wear every night wear Goodnites or whatever medical diaper you can buy from the relatives of dead people but newsletters need a good diaper every night.
