Fit Problems. Help

[Guitarzan]

I've been working out quite a bit and dieting and have lost a bunch of weight. I'm feeling great. The downfall is I'm between diaper sizes with just about every brand. The mediums are just a tad too small, but the larges swallow me up. I'm about at the point of having to order again, so I'm looking for some ideas. Who's got the largest medium size that has good absorbency? Or the smallest large size.

I've tried pull ups in the past and they don't absorb fast enough.

Thanks.

Try a medium dry24/7. There medium sizing is a bit more generous then some of the other brands like Abena and they have great absorbency.

The Dry24/7 Mediums are cut much larger than any other Medium diaper on the market. Give them a try, but wait until January to order, a new batch is due in then and a lot of the quality and consistency problems are supposed to be fixed.

Can't offer any advice on which diaper to use but I would like to offer up my congratulations on your weight loss

Yes, the medium 24/7 are the way to go for those of us at that in between size. Just for comparison, I'm 6'3", 220, 38 pants size and they certainly fit the best of every diaper I have tried, except maybe for depends. They do actually have the sizing and fit the best of any diaper, but as the absorbency is fail they are utter crap.

Also try Molicare Super Plus Large. They might seem big, but once I got the taping right for me they don't leak. Once of the biggest problems on the larger diapers I have had is no matter how they are taped the back of the legs is loose and causes leaks. The Molicare I can actually tape so that the back legs are nice and snug. I can do a huge flood in them without any leaking. Of course like any other diaper, your going to leak if you over saturate them, but due to all the wood pulp in the Molicare they soak up the liquid the quickest of any diaper I know of on the market.

You need to experiment, try buying sample packs from different diaper manufacturers, but don't get too happy because if you are planning on loosing more you will need to keep experimenting.

I'm further along in my weight loss, and I'm between a med and a small, but I would rather wear over sized more than undersized just for the comfort.

Good Luck with your weight, I know how hard it is I'm a veteran in the loosing weight war, but I was very successful and love my weight now.

molicare diapers are bigger too.

x10 on the 24/7

Im in the same boat as you, most mediums are a little bit snug, while any larges are too big. the 24/7s seem to fit perfectly

Wow there's a lotta huskies in here.

I wear smalls. Mediums fit a little loosely. I didn't realize so many have to buy the biggest diapers. Maybe we should all go on a diet and start exercising.

+1 for the dry 24/7

lol, my doctor said my healthy weight is 204, so i'm like 10 pounds from that, doubt that is going to make me fit into most mediums.

[Guitarzan]

I guess I'll order some more 24-7s in January. I'd like to find something cheaper, but looks like I'm sort of stuck with those. They are really good diapers. But yeah, expensive.

Some of us have a bit of a build, we get out and work once in a while, in doing so you usually dont end up looking like a sack of bones LOL

Really??????? in my experience depends "Large" feel like a small in any other brand...... however i do like the three tape style.

i think the Three tape system can provides a better fit like Attends 10 with waist band and Depend than most other diapers to bad non of the better absorbing diapers use it...
