lpa Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 is there a simple way to figure out what size you need, as I've been trying to figure out whether I'm a small or a medium but some places say measure you waist others say your hips and then there's the debate on what part is actually classed as what. So I am hoping you guys will be able to point me in the right direction Link to comment
Sweetiesnuggles Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Honestly I find that it all depends on the brand, certain ones tend to run bigger and the visa versa. I consider waist measurements though Link to comment
littlekat Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The same as above different brands size differently but I'd go with whatever measurements largest, like I have a really small waist but large hips so I go with a medium for my hips and they come up rather high on me (being so short) so I can easily pull it in tighter at the waist so it doesn't fall down.

Baby Brian Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Most are pretty standard and will have you measure your waist line. This is roughly around where your belly button is, which is important since that's how high your diapers are supposed to reach any ways. Any lower and you have to treat them like underwear and measure around your hips line. Though like littlecat said, if your hips are bigger than your waist then you may need to go with the larger measurement. Link to comment
wetatnight Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 the sizes very by brand but you should consider your waist or hip size which ever is wider for the measurement to go by Link to comment
manncer Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I am overweight so I always take a large. I agree that it is better to choose the larger size, so you can cinch it up tight with the tabs Link to comment
lpa Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Well I wore a id slip maxi small this morning and it seemed to fit OK and managed to hold a decent amount however I'm still unsure whether I've got the right size, my waist is 28 inch so I think I should be Link to comment
jesse78 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I have a 28in waist and for me a size small works well for me. I've tried Link to comment
lpa Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 And so the journey continues from what I can gather I sit within the middle of both medium and small so I guess it is a brand thing for example I tried a plastic backed attends s9 and it just didn't seem to sit right so I've got a M10 to try to see if that's any better. at the moment I'm trying a tena slip in medium as I can quite easily get these in smaller quantities and while I like the higher rise of the mediums I'm still insure about how to tape them as in this case the top come in alot more than the bottom I'm sorry for he poor explanation I'm hoping the pic will show what I mean better Link to comment
WetDad Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 If you can gather the rear wings that far around the front, it is too big. You may want to try the small. 1 Link to comment
username Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 From most online Incontinence supply shops you can order samples of diapers and they send you out one diaper to try which is handy because you can try many different diapers from small to medium, some fit better then others. Link to comment

Makena44 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So the right size. Is when the tapes are just enough. So it reaches the panel. And if the tapes almost meet its. Too big. Do i got it right? Link to comment
