Real world Incon

I typically use the Equate Diaper Rash Ointment 40% zinc oxide (WalMart Brand) I have found that there are two SKUs that the packaging looks almost identical white and purple box but one has a different smell, the only difference in the package is it says "Equate Baby" that version has a sweet fruity smell, the standard Equate smells like most zinc oxide creams

very discrete White Box is our experience!

We did a review on the product, it is in the forums somewhere so I don't what to repost it. We found it came fairly close to the stated capacity when we tested normal voids sizes and flow rates but did not do as well in lying down tests. For incontinence that is more small drips (stress/ overflow), the product was able to exceed the stated capacity in lying down and standing.

my daily diapering for the longest time was doubling up Attends with waistband! but with the newer premium products, I can go much longer with just one and it is much cheaper!

It's really hard to test ALL possibilities and variables impossible really (and VERY time-consuming) we tested using the 400ml test as that is close to an average healthy adults void 200-350ml, at an average flow rate for healthy adults of 20ml p/sec (everyone on the planet has different flow rates and capacities that vary daily) wettings were spaced 20mins apart to allow the products to absorb naturally before additional wettings. What we did see in the test was the Depend® in control tests usually tend to leak at just before 800ml or two "average" voids. When using testing with any of the underwear that dropped down to less than 1 "average" void and this happened in every test. We also tested the products simulating overflow incontinence a slow drip and the results were the same! Additionally we also tested this with the Northshore™ Pullup that resulted in the same "absorption" performance drops, so to your point is most people DO change before the product leaks, the myth we tested was IF they "improved performance and prevent leaks" and The testing really showed that no it does not Improve performance and prevent leaks. We did say in the video that it may help diaper sag and keep padding together over time but we did not see "Improved performance" you can say we did not see improved "absorption" if you prefer.

Sorry for the delayed response, in the video we talk about how critical Sodium is to keeping us alive so cutting sodium altogether is bad however most foods in the US have enough so adding might not be best for most people, In the Video we do not say Sodium is the cause of incontinence, studies show the amount of sodium in a system has direct connection to increased Urine output as the Kidneys try to excrete the unnecessary amounts of sodium in the system so people with incontinence issues already will tend to have more episodes.

New video series! in this episode we were asked to test "wearing underwear over a diaper helps improve its performance".

There could be a million things to make your bladder hurt, this could be a simple Irritated bladder or something similar but more involved like interstitial cystitis. The only way to tell is to see a Urologist! I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis nearly 20 years ago for me the big trigger was diet soda, I still have interstitial cystitis and it does flare up sometimes but once I stopped drinking diet soda the pain almost disappeared completely and I was able to get off the medications! if this does not go away GO SEE A DOCTOR!

Bettypooh said it best! I also keep some cheaper diapers around for the chance of I need a diaper change but I will be going to bed in a few hours or will be going to work and I don't want to use the products I use for work or bed for just s few hours. hopefully, you feel better soon!

First off I hope you have a quick recovery and that the lasting damage is minimal! You will need to experiment with the type and level of product you may need. You may need nothing or a small pad in the daytime to full premium brief at night. Only time will tell, You will want to use the thinnest and smallest product that is suitable to your level of incontinence to be as close to your "normal" as possible this will help you cope with the issue but don't let the incontinence (if you have it) get you down and depressed. Someone mentioned the Molicare premium super plus and that is a great THIN but very absorbent diaper but you might not need a full diaper (also they do have an odd cut so some people don't like them) but they are GREAT for being discreet under clothes. Likely you might only need a pad to a pull-up if anything during the day. give time and be patient and soon you will have a clear idea of what you may or may not need. Good luck!

This is a very good Idea! thank you

I dont remember when I was taken out of diapers by my parents , but I always had daytime and nighttime accidents all my life, I was 12 when I made the personal choice to wear diapers at night as I was tired of wet sheets and changing them during the night.

Thank you for the reply and support! Sorry I didnt see the post earlier of course our information is a generalization as with all of our videos and testing we understand that individually we are all different. and products and finding we discover might not represent each person exactly. this testing was interesting to see the products perform under different salinities and this was a very fun learning exercise. When we started this testing we didnt think we would have to use math, its about adult diapers! we have some more fun experiments lined up so hopefully this summer when our work slows up we have time to do some more Science! Thanks again!

Yes is the simple answer , personally I use three types of products. For work depending on how long a day will be I will use a Molicare super as a morning layer because its thin but a good performer (I do not slit or puncture this product just use it as a limited time layer) over that i will use either Drycare 24/7. Northshore Supreme or BetterDry at lunch I remove the Molicare. this layering method and products can get me through a 16hr day anytime with lout carrying a diaper bag around. I also usually have a cheaper product to use while at home if i can change easily. for normal activities like shorter work days , going out or to the movies its one of the three primary products.

In this video, we test and review the Depend® Protection with Tabs disposable brief. one of the most commonly found products on the Market how did it do?This is an all white plastic backed brief with front and rear waistbands, standing leg leak guards and leg gathers as well as a 3 tape fastening system. #incontinence #dependhttps://youtu.be/3_eZL1aZLgY

In our new video, we explore how sodium affects your health regarding incontinence issues and disposable incontinence products.

Thank you!

Due to a large number of requests to test this product please enjoy our Review of Abena Abri-Form "Classic" 4 Formerly known as X-Plus.

selfless plug... in our review videos any product that claims for "overnight" or "night time" use gets subject to the side sleeper test... no product has been amazing. only two so far have been able to handle 1 larger wetting...

Smart sensors will be big in the Incontinence world, connected to the nurse station or smartphone alerting the carer when its time to change. we are starting to see barcodes on each product as institutions are now scanning everything that happens to a patient, so diapers will be scanned to a patient when being used this is for billing and patient safety concerns /tracking. The barcodes will probably give way to RFID tags built into the sensors eventually. Other features we will see is a trend to less plastic more environmentally "safe" materials. we hope to see a rear pocket to help contain bowel movements better, some baby diapers are starting to have that. As for the ABDL world, I would agree with others that Gender specific will go away but fun designs will stay, probably just a few manufacturers will be around.

That will depend on how YOUR bladder functions, how well the product fits you, how active you are etc. Every product works a bit differently for everyone. in our testing, if you have large bladder voids the Northshore supreme and Abri-form level 4 can possibly work for up to 8 hours but there are a lot of variables, we have not tested all the products on your list (yet). We definitely do not recommend staying in a product for that long if you had a bowel movement even with barrier creams.

this is a great move by Depend mixing the products into 2 sizes s/m and l/xl while good for the company and retailers, in only having to manufacture 2 products and stores only needing to stock two items. The result was a poor fit for most people and a poor fit is the biggest issue with the performance of an incontinence product.

I agree the Channels Could help alot with the typical product clumping issue, However the clumping issues we see usually are a front to back top or bottom aided gravity so horizontal channels might not help that much, It also with the channels from images I have seen, seem to limit the thickness of the product and ability of the product to swell and absorb more fluid. hopefully someone will create this out so we can test it!
