@2sail2, @DailyDi, @widdlemikey, @foreverdl, @Crinklz Kat, @rusty pins: You may want to consider getting an automatic stove cut-off system based on inactivity. One review: https://elderguardhome.com/safety-guides/kitchen-utility-appliance-safety/automatic-stove-shut-off-devices-for-elderly . I'm considering getting https://iguardfire.com/ once there new one is available.

@Villainy: Unfortunately, once passed, those off the record comments won't be acknowledged and legal will turn back to the "meaning" of the written words. : (

I've seen two other "medical" alternate medical solutions (probably more expensive), that are basically the equivalent of sucking on something. I haven't researched those options. Another member on here that is from the incontinence side has commented about utilizing a pacifier for this also.... And for me, I've never been evaluated for sleep apena, but one sibling after a three week vacation years ago, where three of us split a single and a double room over the vacation, said they wouldn't share with me again due to snoring. I think my allergies were acting up, but I'm sure I'm not snoring like I used to and I know my resting tongue position is not blocking the back of the throat like it used to. Your mileage may vary. And who knows if the solution is dangerous for some folks.

Now that I'm finally retired... retired software engineer. Shrunk bladder capacity from early onset BPH forced the need to wear protection during the day. Already needing diapers for night time issues, it made no sense to get a different product (at similar cost and lower capacity) for day time use.... So, I was wearing (cloth) diapers to work for the last few years prior to retirement.

@DailyDi: The following comment may not be wise: Have you tried an appropriately sized adult orthodontic pacifier at night? I've found utilizing the size 6 orthodontic at night appears to have cut out my snoring, strengthened my tongue muscles and has shifted how the tongue rests in the mouth so I'm keeping the air way in the back of the throat open at night.

@Crinklz Kat: Not necessarily true. It depends on the company's plan and unfortunately, there are pressures that tend to negate this option. When I started work at my current company, I set up my initial FSA with plans to buy a set of cloth diapers an plastic pants. The plan explicitly listed "incontinence supplies" as something covered. I didn't catch that they also had an absolute "NO" for "diapers". My initial request for reimbursement was rejected. I appealed based on the fact that incontinence supplies was listed as approved. The company gave in and reimbursed me that time and told me to NOT do that again... So anyone planning this NEEDS to explicitly verify what IS allowed on their company's FSA plan BEFORE expecting reimbursement.

@Diaper Bearer: Most months, near zero. I wear cloth diapers and protective pants. So I spend significantly more when I buy replacements. Overall,I’d say I spend less over time. See my other recent posts on this subject for specific recommendations.

@DiaperboyEddie12: Definitely AI generated as the one piece footed sleepers are too short for a regular adult - and don't match the size of the diapers.

@oznl: So you are waiting for their Darwin award?

@Spanky The four layer (night weight) "gauze" weave diaper I listed above isn't that thick. And my night time output, if properly hydrated, or sometime well hydrated needs three layers to maintain containment. Once the diapers have a few years of wear, they get lighter and I have to go to four of them at night. I'll agree that 4 of the nearly new (washed a few times) is a bit thicker, but once I put myself back into diapers for dealing with adult secondary onset of nocturnal enuresis, I found I never learned to dislike my thick clean and dry or warm and wet diapers.... Not something I was expecting to learn...

@Spanky As I've mentioned elsewhere (most recently at https://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?/topic/98192-looking-for-cute-reusablecloth-options/#comment-2231437 ), at one point I found ADC's Purity flat 4 layer gauze cloth diapers the most cost effective and reasonable for me ( https://adultclothdiaper.com/products/adult-flat-diapers-gauze-purity ). Size small works for me, and in quantity is about the best price / performance out there. I use two at a time for day time and 3 or 4 at night time. As to protective pants, if I could still get XL V.I.Products or Comco vinyl pants, that's what I would be buying. They were very cost effective for their time. My memory says buying a set of six at one time would last me about a year (using three in rotation at a time). I have yet to find something as cost effective that properly fits me. Since Gary Manufacturing slightly loosened the leg elastics, I'm no longer getting a good fit from the folks that sell that company's current products, such as the Leakmasters PUL line and others such as Angel Fluff. For now, I'm seeing how long the PUL type XXL pants that @DailyDi sells at https://biggerdiapers.com/ and the elastics fit me properly, however the cut is a bit tighter than I'd like. I am managing pretty good - just need to make sure I get all the cotton material properly tucked in. These come out of Asia, and the Asian XXL size is about an XL size from the Gary and previous US Manufactures. If you are willing to spend more, you can find other US, CA or EU based solutions out there that might work better for you. And previously, I have used a multi-layer (with center added layers) that was supposedly a supplier to DPF. It handled my night time output, but took a long time to dry. I still have some of those diapers, but due to drying time prefer multiple layers of my current setup from ADC. Agree that having a disposable under the cotton layers should keep cleanup easier. And on the very rare occupation when I get caught not able to make the toilet for # 2, I find a cold wash (no detergent?) immediately after changing, followed by my standard wash, w/ vinegar and double rinse, helps keep the brown stains from setting. Standard hot wash would otherwise set some stains.

Well, that answers why Tykables isn't restocking clothing quickly.... Doesn't completely replace what they did.

That was my first thought. Too long since I've been reading info from Usenet alt.sex.fetish.diapers....

@Dubious: After re-reading I see what I read right through.... Thank you. I take it the wear2work are more "fully cut" through the crotch and thighs than what Tykables does on their onsies. One reason I like the Tykables oniese over their "rompers" is the rompers do fully cover but also can get caught up and wick wetness around the legs where the onsies don't bunch up that way. Yes, I wear cloth diapers, and unfortunately, the cut and fit of the protective pants aren't as good as I used to be able to get (at a "reasonable" price). I've seriously thought of getting a bulk order of protective pants from Kins after letting them get good measurements to provide something that's a better fit for me now that some of the older companies that produced a better fit have shut down.

@undertheradar: Ok, the options I use you aren't going to say are "fun and cute" as I use plain white diapers. There are some out there that might do what you want, and I think Kins (also known as Baby Kins, since they have all sizes of diapers, protective pants, etc.) might have something more to your taste. However, at one point, I found the best cost effective for me is the Purity 4 layer white gauze diapers from https://adultclothdiaper.com/ . I use https://adultclothdiaper.com/products/adult-flat-diapers-gauze-purity , the four layer (night time option), two at a time during the day, and add a third (or after a bit of wear, or having heavier nights) or four of these at night, under appropriate protective pants. One option to keep the white diapers "fun and cute" would be to get appropriate protective pants, which I know have been out there. I haven't been looking for those, so I'm not up on the current options. I'll admit that since V.I. Products and Comco went out of business, I've been looking for a similar cost affective solution. One option I'm currently using is from https://biggerdiapers.com/ (run by Mikey: @DailyDi, this site's owner). While the PUL Soft and Silent Diaper covers are not my ideal cut, they are mostly working for me, and tend to be a cheaper solution than ADC's Leak Master https://adultclothdiaper.com/products/leakmaster-pul-pants , made by (what's the name of the last main US manufacture), where they've changed the leg sizing so it doesn't always fit me any more. Note that Bigger Diapers source is out of Asia, so the Asian size XXL is similar to the XL I used to get from V.I.Products or Comco or the current other US Based sources. It will take experimentation to find the right size that works for you. Make sure to tuck all material inside the protective pants or you get a wicking issue. And if you want to saturate your cloth diapers, your going to need to find protective pants that give you a good seal at the legs. I see Mikey has black and white options currently in stock, and lists the purple ones as out of stock at the moment. I don't see the blue option at the moment.
