Thank you. Yes, I’ve been traveling a bit too much, so more time for writing. Sally’s going on vacation, but she had something to keep her busy just before.  This will be an interesting project. We’ll see where it takes her. Looking forward to writing more about it.  I plan to post tomorrow as well, I don’t want to accumulate too much text.

Sort of, but not any more than zippered back pajamas. Most all fursuits have the same zipper running down the back. As long as you can reach the zipper, you can pull the suit down and change your diaper. Oh, but some fursuits are made with a Strategically Placed Hole (SPH) in the front For peeing or playing while suited. Usually buttoned closed though. And sometimes they have two SPHs. One in the front, and another in the back.

Well, going back to the 90's I used the then-meh Depends, then Attends 10 with waistband. After that it was the then-great Abena Xplus. And after each one got cheapened up I'd keep swithcing to a new one that actually worked good. Eventually I picked up Betterdry when they came out. Their V1.0 was a tank! Then I wore Crinklz for a good 10 plus years. Which,n ike you found, works great. Nowhere near as good as theybised to, since they too have been recently cheapened up a little.  Fortunatel/unfortunately I lost enough weight I fell right in between their Medium and Larges. But neither size actually worked. With the mediums being too small of a cut, they were tight even when tapped loose. And with less padding but more SAP, I'd leak in them prematurely. And with the larges being too big I couldnt tape them snug around my legs. So again too many premature leaks thabks toca lottle less padding and a little more SAP. I ended up testing a massive slew of other diapers for about 6 months. That's how I found out all of the Chinese diapers have the same cut. And all have extremely similar materials. And how every one of them had too limited of a landing panel, with the same tapes that have a blue tab on them. Which all also have tapes positioned at the top and middle of the back wings. Hence what I call a "no lower tapes design". Which doesn't allow for a snug and secured fit around the legs. And every one of them will leak prematurely. Thankfully, right around then I tried Northshore Supreme (Which was looking to be the most absorbent diaper out there before leaking). And that's when Northshore released their USA Megamax V2.0. There are just enough variations from their original Chines variate (which all current chines clone diapers are based on). Well, those variations included lowerimg the tapes just barely enough. So I'm able to angle the "almost lower tapes" down to below the landing zone. That gives a proper fit around the legs to keeps it snug enough to prevent premature leaks.  So I've been wearing the USA Megamax ever since. I even got the VA to send me 3 cases of them per month! They're still not quite absorbent enough for my overnight needs though. And will easily leak from the SAP being oversaturated while the back stays dry. So I've had to pair them with one of Northshore's XL boosters that wocks pee to the back and adds more total absorbency. Thankfully, that combo works pretty good. No other diapers or combinations work anywhere near as good. And I've tried 2 or 3 dozen. Though admittedly, removing the almost-lower tapes always requires tearing the shell too. So they do need further improving, but at least they work pretty good as-is. And the only other backup diapers out there which are even worth paying for are boosted Northsore Supremes, and boosted medium Crinklz. But seriosly, we need another, better alternative, premium-grade diaper. One that isn't just another re-skin clone of yet another Chinese diaper.   Ps. Betterdry/Crinklz are made in northern Italy. They're stored and shipped out of Germany though. And that unavailabily they had about a year ago, which lasted 3 months. That was when the manufacturer Thrust Vector was moving to a new and bigger warehouse. They had problems with the one they wanted to move into, and had to find a different warehouse. And during that transition they had to stop making any more diapers since they had nowhere to store them. Thats been long resolved, but I noticed when they started making them again, they were cheapened up with a little less padding a little more SAP. So now their total absorbency is a little less too, since the SAP clogs the diaper. Leaving it more saturated in the front while the back stays dry more. Such a shame really. They're headed in the exact same direction as Depends, Attends, Molocare, Abena, Confifry, Tena, Seni, and the all the others which started out good but are now defunct. You'd think the manufactures would have learned by now, but alas, it seems not.

Cool, @Slomo thank you for the explanation of how the suit operates.  I bet diaper changes are hard as well?

I think it gets smaller as I get older. I have no problem fitting mine in a diaper at all, pointing straight out or slightly down.
