Topsy0400 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 In spite of my disposables having a plastic backing (Tena Slip Maxi) I always wear plastic pants over the top of them as I feel more secure that way. Am I strange to want to wear both or do most people wear plastic pants over the top too? Link to comment
pins Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I always use rubber or plastic pants over my disposibles . I've had leaks and wet car seats . I use a wet pad on my car seat. My sister who I live with calls my plastic pants baby pants. Link to comment
ldatsea Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 " Am I strange to want to wear both or do most people wear plastic pants over the top too?" not at all Depending on the diapers I use plastic pants over disp all the time, however since i started using bambnino,abeana, amd secure diapers i havent really needed to unless i need to wear kacki pants or dress slacks and then its is usually just for "crinkle" protection. I dont really like wearing PP since they chaff and get uncomfortable after long peroids. but if I am stuck with cheaper diapers i will absolutly wear PP over them. Link to comment
Forced2wet Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I always wear plastic pants over the top of my disposable, usually a cosy n dry bikini style pair.(Like the ones in my avi) I enjoy wearing plastic pants just as much as a diaper, it makes me feel more comfortable and confident there will be no leaks.

Angela Bauer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Many other profoundly urinary incontinent people wear various kinds of waterproof pants over disposables. One trick is to use a "layered" approach. After putting on the disposable, cover that with snug cotton pants or briefs. Then cover both with the waterproof pants. Doing that prevents the plastic from the diaper touching and sticking to the waterproof pants. Thus the diaper and the pants can move separately, just as waterproof pants work with cloth diapers. To keep the combination discreet, you can wear a thinner disposable since the cotton pants will catch minor leaks. Since the cotton briefs are ordinary they can be discreetly washed along with other laundry without attracting attention. Link to comment
aleyxsis Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I always wear plastic pants over my disposables don't trust the disposables very much .I think that comes from bad experiences with depends they were awful .I now use tena supers and they do a better job .Hope that helps .PS i love plastic pants anyways lol Link to comment
babystevie Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I always wear plastic panties over my diapers, cloth or disp. I just love plastic panties! Link to comment
jbz2079 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 yep, I do that, always wear plastic pants over my disposables, I wear a pull on cloth pants diaper over my disposable, you would be surprised how many times the cloth pants are damp in the leg, croth area even though you thought the diaper was nowere near soaked. Save embarrising spots on pants and seats. Link to comment
Guest nappy_pants Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I always wear Plastic's over my disposables, I wear them 24/7 tbh and they just become routine in gettinbg dressed. If I'm going out then it's a Tena pull up and plastic pants with a womans slim girdle pant thing over the top to hide it all under my jeans. At home it's just my disposables and my plastic pants.

nappyloon Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 It is usual for me to wear a pair of plastic pants over my disposable as you seem to be able to tell whether you are leaking before it becomes a problem that others can see, there is just a certain feeling that any moisture between Nappy and Plastic pants make it obvious there is a problem and gives you time to do something about it. Plastic pants do seem to be fairly poor quality as they only last me about three and a half weeks before going all rigid and splitting Link to comment

diapertime42 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Plastic pants do seem to be fairly poor quality as they only last me about three and a half weeks before going all rigid and splitting I also wear plastic pants over my disposable diapers... I've had disposables split in the back, and had the "fluffing" fall out of my pant leg, (Try to explain that to a co-worker!) I've also had pin-hole leaks in the plastic, which results in wet spots on my slacks. These problems disappear with plastic pants. And the plastic pants I use also muffle the crinkle sound of some of the noisy disposables. I pretty much use plastic pants from babykins most of the time... The thicker mil plastic pants they sell last me several months, and the leg elastics don't pinch or chaff either. Link to comment
froggy Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Waterproof panties do need proper care to last. Most rash creams, vasciline, oils, etc are bad for plastic and rubber. If you use them be sure that they are covered by the diaper and not touching the plastic panty. Also, wash/rince them off after they have been exposed to urine. wribbit Link to comment
babytommy1981 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 during the day time not really unless im going out for along time and dont know of any places to change when out. other then that i wear plastic pants at night because thats when i wet the most and I some times have a loose #2 when in a deep sleep. and i dont want to wake up with wet sheets. but now im starting to wear my plastis pants all the time. i kinda like knowing im protected from leaks.

Try Comco. As I have said elsewhere the thinner material is not as good as the thicker. I have some Comco's shere the elestic is all stretched out and the material is still in pretty good condition Link to comment
babymaggie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I always wear plastic pants over my disposable diapers when I am not at home. Sometimes when at home I will just waer the disposable and sometimes I will put on plastic pants. Link to comment
dl247 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 As a person that in incontinant I never wear plastic pants for several reasons. First of all if you change as you are suppose to then you don't really need them. Also, I found that I would sweat real bad when I wore them. The other issue I had was when I do a "quick change" or change in the car the plastic pants just get in the way BIG TIME. Personally for me they are more trouble then they are worth. I simply wear a disposable diaper and when I need to change I do, and it keeps eveything simple. Link to comment

I simply wear a disposable diaper and when I need to change I do, and it keeps eveything simple. I am profoundly urinary incontinent. This means I wet in frequent dribbles, very much like an infant. The upside is this is what most diapers are designed to contain. Sure, with cloth diapers I do wear vinyl panties. I hardly ever do so with disposables because while awake I am confident my disposables will not leak. I change disposables well before they are soaked. The classic solution to the excess sweating when covering disposables with waterproof pants is to either wear "bedwetter" pants or first cover the disposable with some sort of cotton brief before pulling on your plastic pants. The cotton briefs will soak up the sweat and reduce contact between your skin and the plastic. To me the downside to bedwetter pants is the cloth part is permanently attached to the plastic pants, rendering that difficult and slow to wash and dry effectively. The separate cotton brief and plastic pant simplifies washing them. For you guys: Since you are wearing a disposable diaper, you will not need a fly in your cotton briefs. For this purpose I suggest buying Ladies briefs in your size to fit snug when they are new. Trust me, they will stretch out. Then when you want to dress like a big boy, switch to Men's briefs.

Angela, I agree 100% with changing the disposables way before they are soaked. I personally think a quality booster pad is a million times better than plastic pants. As a guy that sees his diapers as "underware" it is tough to feel like a guy wearing plastic pants..lol! For day use I prefer the Attends with waistband with the Abena Maxi booster pad, and that for me is the winning combination. I can easily go 3/4 of a day with no worries of a leak, but I prefer to change at least 4 times a day and I found with the booster pads plastic pants are not needed at all. Link to comment
john2jane2john Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I will often wear a pull-on disposable (Tranquility) for convenience sake changing only at home. Over that a pair of woman's cotton panties (brief style) and over that plastic pants. I am incontinent (frequent dribbles) from prostate surgery. One minor word of caution and I've found this as a long time user, the chemicals that absorb moisture can also rob you of normal skin moisture. I use a small amount of Vaseline on my genitals before dressing. John2Jane2John Link to comment

flapjackboy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Im still a little new tot his but what are these plastic pants OP is talking about? Plastic pants are exactly what they say they are. Pants made of plastic. Specifically, they are made of a soft, flexible plastic and have elasticated openings. They are primarily used with cloth nappies to provide waterproofing, but many who use disposables also wear them to provide extra leak protection in case of flooding.

Plastic pants do seem to be fairly poor quality as they only last me about three and a half weeks before going all rigid and splitting You should try PUL (polyurethane Laminated) waterproof pants they are really drurable and never go brittle. There is a big move towards reuable all-in-one diaper for babies and therefore a lot of PUL material is becoming available (some of it in nice patterns too) Also plastic pants tend to harden when exposed to wee wee for long periods before washing so it's best to at least wipe them over inside between changes. I have ordered some white PVC used for matresses and duvet covers and it looks like this will make up into nice soft pants that should not harden. Link to comment
