    I LOVE BetterDry,

    ...But there's a bit of a tutorial required first...

    When you first open the pack of BetterDry Diapers, they need time to expand. 

    Take a couple out of the pack so they can Breathe.

    When you grab a fresh BetterDry Diaper, the wings need a thorough stretching, otherwise you might not get the right fit.

    The Landing zone doesn't allow error, and it also doesn't provide any markings for taping reference.

    This creates a blank white space with little information of where each tape goes,

    And once the tape it's placed it's stuck there.  You could peel off and use the Second-Chance tape but I don't recommend it...

    HOWEVER,

    If you don't mind stretching the diaper before you put it on, and learning "the hard way" where each tape goes....

    The BetterDry diapers are fantastic for bedwetting.

    They're very cost effective and super absorbant, especially with a booster and a ProTec Brief.

     

    Bingo!!! I'm still pretty sure they've reduced or changed the SAP. I'm not sure if they're thinner, but they are for sure softer.

    Lately, I've found them to work better when giving them a kind of fluff... whipping it from the top then whipping again from the bottom. That seems to add bulk -- and stretching them from top to bottom as well as side to side. Doing this also frees up the leg guards.

    Weird. I buy them directly from Rearz, but I live in Canada. However, you can select US currency on the Rearz site, and they have a $75 USD floor for no-charge shipping, all of which suggests to me that they sell direct into the US. Try going to www.rearz.ca by typing in the URL, not via searching for them in a browser and then clicking on the result, maybe? I'm no tech expert, but that's how I get on Amazon's US site - some stuff on Amazon US is not available on Amazon.ca, but typing Amazon into a browser always takes me to the .ca site, so I type www.amazon.com into the URL bar. 

    Just use the .CA as if it is in the US. When checking out, select the Canada Post option for shipping. It is very reasonable and takes the same amount of time as if you bought in the USA. Overcoming the Canada/US crossover is really pretty easy and painless.

    No. I looked at the catalog, when I saw "diaper cover" I know it was not for me. In fact, I am thinking of removing Rears from RUBBER PANTIES'R'US. And diaper WRAP;. people ditched those for babies 25 years ago. They were not good for active infants. I had misgivings when they bought out A C Medical

    What the heck is a wrap anyway?

    Yeah, shipping is probably high and best if you order a lot instead of only one or two items, but at that price I say get them if you can because the most popular sizes will probably sell out fast.

    Shipping is actually pretty cheap. For each of my two orders, it was a little over $5 for each order. Not bad at all.

     

     

  5. Thanks @Little Sherri -- just what the docctor ordered.

    They came yesterday and are fabulous!!! Very high quality size 6 Safari print. Two of them, each with its own high quality lanyard. They came in a high quality plastic storage box. Can't stop sucking on it. Very impressed. Signed up on their website too as I took advantage of $10 onesies.

    Wow!!! They have a lot of stuff there for $10! I bought the Rebel glow-in-the-dark bodysuit. All the others are just too loud.

    Thanks DailyDi for letting us know!!! You'all should glom onto this as fast as you can.

     

     

    Call me a liar. I couldn't help myself. I went back and ordered the Alpaca and Safari bodysuits. Just can't turn it down!!!

    Rearz has a great selection, and the ones that look the most like a good old fashioned pacifier are also their cheapest - they're like $4 each. Which is good, because you want to have a bunch of them if you're going to use them with any frequency - you want to be able to clean them and let them dry or else they will start to smell like mildew, basically. The Rearz size 6 adult pacifier is the one I'm referring to - it's easy to take apart and clean thoroughly and put back together. 

    I like the size of them because the nipple is long enough that the shield doesn't put pressure on my teeth. I used to try and use toddler pacifiers in the 18-36 months size, but the nipple wasn't long enough so there was a constant inward pressure on the shield. Basically, if your teeth start to ache after a couple of days, your pacifier may eventually alter the shape of your dental arcade. I sleep with one every night, so for me, fit was important. In 5 years, my teeth haven't been affected. 

    Rearz also makes a size 10 pacifier under the Fixx moniker, but I find those huge - to me it's like trying to fall asleep with a banana in your mouth. Which, granted, maybe some people enjoy, but for me, it wasn't comfortable.  

    Well, I followed your advice and bought two Rearz Size 6 Safari style with lanyard from Amazon. They were $20 which means they were about $8 each which is not a bad deal. If I like it, the next purchase will be a trifecta -- two Elpaka pacifiers, an Elpaka onsie, and a case of the Elpaka diapers. Won't that be cute?

    At the moment I'm buying about 2-4 cases per month with varying degrees of diaper effectiveness. Since the upheaval of not getting ConfiDry 24/7 anymore I've been experimenting with BetterDry and right now the Rearz Mega Inspire+ line of diapers, as well as other slimmer lines that I can maximize with going both #1 and #2.

    I'm interested in your Better Dry experience. They seem to have changed lately but I can't tell exactly what that is. It seems to be less stiff or thinner as it seems like they're leaking more.. It could be I'm peeing more too and just don[t know it. Is there any confirmation of these observations?

    I haven't had a "pants off" moment with my primary care physician in a few years - he's not very proactive. That may cost me my life someday, but, it takes the pressure off. Checkups are quick and painless. He's been my doctor since I was a teen and is WAY past due for retirement, so I suspect he has a gambling problem, or hates his wife. My plan for a while has been to wait him out, then get a new doctor, and at that point, say to Dr. New that I've had an overactive bladder for years, went down some conversational roads with my previous doctor, visited a urologist (technically true, although it wasn't for OAB), and that I've decided wearing protection is preferable to some weird catheter contraption or taking medication with side effects, end of conversation. 

     

    Last physical examination had no pants down. I found that odd and asked the doctor why I didn't have to strip. She said "We don't do that anymore."Darn!!!

    Not sure who else does this but when I'm out in public I try to impose a 3 wetting limit.  If I'm at home I will try to maximize capacity but it never ends up that way.  I am sometimes pleasantly surprised when I can get 6 or 7 wettings into a high capacity diaper without leaks.

    I am cheap and try to get max mileage out of the BeterDry's. Didn't happen today. Overwhelmed the front and it started leaking around the front of both legs. Back completely dry. Something's happened to these things but I don't know what. They don't seem to work as well as I remember.

    I was annoyed too because then I suddenly knew I’d have to drive all night now to get to the interstate location we were moving to.

    Then I realised that the desert side-track I had turned down was undulating with dunes I had to cross that were made of bedding and pillows.  I remember the relief when the van didn’t get stuck in the first eiderdown-valley.

     

    Oh yeah, of course.  I suddenly remembered my nappy. 

    “It’s not sweat, it’s my nappy, I need to change it” I replied tersely, vaguely annoyed at her fussing.  I had a bicycle-powered van of my household goods to pedal across a terrain of bedding to escape the desert that had terra-formed around me and arrive and my interstate destination by the next morning and frankly her interruptions weren’t making this life any less complicated.

     

    Wait... That wasn't real? Huh?

    A while back I complained that they switched our garbage service from use-your-own-cans with twice-weekly pick-up. To one uniform can with once a week pickup.

    As expected one can has proven not to be enough for little family and the extra trash that incontinence/ABDL creates. Tomorrow is trash day and the can is already full, and we have a bag waiting for next week, and could easily fill another bag if we empties all the household cans today.

    The city has finally relented and will let us get a second can, but they are charging $120 for it! Going to be tough to scratch up an extra hundro.

    This is grossly indecent but you could just add it to your neighbor's can or let it pile up until they pick it up like they do in the big city.

    I had a similar experience where the neighbor routinely adds to my pile despite objections. They always have some lame excuse.

    When Crinklz V1 was discontinued and V2 introduced.   Not to say the original version was superior, but the original print was certainly superior.

    Can you be more specific? I started wearing the Aquanauts quit a while ago. I thought it more fitting than the Astronaut print as I'm swimming in pee.

    I'm glad to see some talk about this, as I noticed the same thing about my last couple cases of BetterDry. A BetterDry with a northshore booster has been my overnight diaper every night for years, and I've definitely noticed a change in capacity recently. I could usually stay in this diaper through the night and into a good chunk of the next morning, but lately I'm hitting capacity as soon as I wake up. I had the sense something was different about them - it almost seems like I accidentally got the capacity of their newer BetterDry Day diapers, just packaged as regular BetterDry - but wondered if maybe I had an isolated incident.

    BetterDry is my daily driver. I have not noticed any change except for my output which has gone up substantially. Seems to hold the same, but I'm filling it faster. It has 4 pees in it and still has room for more. I feel the need to push it to the point of failure.
