kdlstar9 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 i just had an accident small leak. i was walking to lunch and had to go real bad and just went. and the diaper seemed to leak a little bit out the leg hole and there was a small wet patch on my right leg thigh- kind of embarrassing. i walked super fast to the toilet and inspect damage as i forcefully smiled and tried to divert attention away. the leak wasnt super bad but was embarrassing nonetheless. i never really saw a leak from wearing northshore supremes until today Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Link to comment
dlnoir Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Occupational hazard I would say. If you wear and use diapers it is bound to happen one time or another. I wouldn’t think too much of it especially if it is a small leak. Just behave normal go to the toilet and take care of business. I really doubt anyone noticed. 1 Link to comment

rusty pins Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Was your diaper already wet? Did you flood it or just pee a little? Maybe you were pointed in one spot and that one spot of the diaper just couldn't hold any more. You said you had to go real bad, so my thinking is you may have just flooded too much all at once in one area. Link to comment
GhostGirl Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 One thing my incontinence nurse keeps reminding me, and apparently all her other patients, is that if the protective garment/diaper is wet. Change it ASAP. Especially if you are active. That is why companies like depends and such do so well, because their price is low enough that people don't feel the need to hold off until the last second. Flooding and maxing is something you should do at home where you can control variables, not out in the wild. Link to comment
Craisler Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Make sure the diaper fits snuggly around the legs. If there are gaps, leaks are going to happen. Personally, I’d recommend wearing an elastic fixing brief over the diaper. That will hold the diaper close to the body and prevent leaks. Abena fixing briefs are available from XP Medical. 1 Link to comment
mick_dl Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 My experiance is: Change ASAP - it’s better for the skin, you might be also able use thinner pads or diapers what’s also more comfortable to wear (unless you like thick paddings). And black trouser my also help - just in case... Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 If you wear and wet diapers, you will have a leak sooner of later. There are just too many contributing factors to leakage control for them all to happen as you want them to forever without fail. Just investigate the leak, and if you determine that it might be caused by a failure of the diaper itself, then check the other diapers in that batch for a similar problem before trusting them to work correctly. Leaks are just part of the world of diapering, and while they should be rare, they will happen. Just be ready to deal with it as needed and there will be little or no real problems when it happens.

Nyte Kitsune Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Leaks happen. Unavoidable part of wearing and using. Pinhole leaks, like you said, maybe out the side from not securing well, many causes. Best to be prepared if you're going to wear, plastic/rubber pants over a diaper is usually a good idea (rubber is typically quieter). Link to comment

I admit to being lazy sometimes and don't change until my nappy is very wet and leaks do happen. Link to comment
