Dear Daily Diapers Letter with Answer

Dear Daily: 

     I am a diaper lover but have had a back problem for years and have some nerve problems caused by a bad disk in the lower back. When I wear diapers sometimes it makes the nerve pinch I guess, in my back causing pain from my hip to my knee and ankle. I think when I put the tapes on the left side is when it causes the problem. I have tried using one tape on each side but then I sometimes get leaks. I was wondering if maybe a pull up would help but I dont really care for the cloth feel. Is there a pull up that is close to the feel of a regular diaper I might try? 

Thank You,
Robert

Dear Robert,

     I have yet to find a good pull-on product that gives the protection and feel of a diaper. Have you tried the older-style undergarments with elastic belts? Many of them provide better protection and a more diaperish feel than the newer pull-ups. Other than that my only advice would be to use regular pull-up underwear (briefs, diaper cover, whatever you like) with one of the heavier absorbent inserts (not standard pads, but a few companies make diapers without the tapes you can wear inside briefs.

     Perhaps some of our members can provide better options?
