I really don't care myself one way or the other about the company logo on the diaper or the tapes.  The thing is, even if we AB/DL's don't plan on walking around in public in just our diapers for the company name to be seen by everyone, it's all about advertising, brand recognition and taking every step you can to  get your product's name out there.  Buy a car and the dealer slaps their sticker on the bumper (how dare they since once I purchased it, it's mine and they have no right to defile it with their dealer sticker).  What gets me are all the people, myself included, who buy a T-shirt at an amusement park, casino or local attraction with the company name on it!  Same as T-shirts advertising any product.  They should give them out for free for advertising their products, but we are actually paying these companies to advertise their products or casino for them!  How can you beat that?

As far as adult diapers go, why not put the company logo on the front of the diaper or the tapes?  It can't cost the company that much extra and I'm sure they figure the production cost into the retail price for their diapers.  Any advertising they can get out there may help.  True, you may not be walking around in public in just a diaper for everyone to read the company name, but with our community some may trade diapers or offer one to a friend at an AB/DL get together.  Maybe at an AB/DL party someone asks, "What brand of diaper are you wearing?"  All they have to do is look at the front and read the name.  You could also have a situation where someone who is medically incontinent may need a care giver to help out.  Perhaps if you ended up in the hospital in your diaper, a nurse might comment on how well that diaper seems to fit and work for you.  She herself may have someone in diapers such as an elderly relative or she may know others in her line of work as a nurse who might have mentioned a need for a good absorbent product.  Word of mouth passed along can help.  Although not as likely (and not very responsible on the part of the user), someone may see a thick wet diaper tossed out in the restroom trash and think, "That looks really interesting!  I'm kind of turned on by the thought of wearing a thick diaper.  I wonder who makes these?"  Bottom line is, if you are manufacturing the diapers, why not print the brand name on them for extra free advertising?

I wear diapers 24/7 and I spend half my life in pink diapers and half my life in an all white diaper such as ABU Simple or Rearz Inspire + Incontrol.  I would love to try these but I am worried about the sizing.  I am a tweener with most diaper brands between medium and large.  Is there anyway I could purchase a sample of one medium and one large? Thank you.

Samples are available for free upon rquest, as long as not abused. Just contact us at https://www.northshorecare.com/northshore/contact

I got the Betterdry diapers I ordered from Nothshore yesterday and they included 2 free samples of the MegaMax diapers.  I plan to save them for a time in the future when I will be away from home for a long day to see if they hold up to the 12 hour absorbtion they say.  Thanks, Adam!  I plan on testing the Betterdry diapers tonight.

  I got a case of the Crinklz, half aquanaut half astronaut. I was curious about the sizing on the MegaMax so the salesperson who took my order included; two samples of the mediums and two samples of the large. The MegaMax diapers are amazing! I am quite the heavy wetter and these diapers held all that I could dish out and then some. I drank two 44oz. Cups of water before I went to bed one night and woke up with a very soaked diaper that still had plenty of room left for more wettings. I am definitely going to be ordering a case or two of these!

Understood. If you change your mind, please let us know. Don't forget to check out the new colored Supreme Lites (Blue, Green, Purple) when they come out in January!

colored?  Will they be coming to regular northshore supremes?  I am partial to blue.

Mixed colors in one package? (Been wanting that for a long time)

I recieved my samples and these diapers are awesome as far as functionality.  Unfortunately I just can not get past the Northshore being printed on the wings.  For whatever reason I need for my diapers to be plain or babyish.  Initially I thought the print was only on the inside of the fold but it was on the outside of the wing as well.  I now this is a shallow reason to not wear these diapers but it is just how I am wired.

For those of you who wear medical diapers and do not mind a medical look I promise you that you will not find a better diaper.  It is a great diaper for night time especially if you are a side sleeper.

The only other thing that was negative was the shipping cost.  I did price out three cases and it was over $40 for shipping.  That is 120 diapers and seems too be to high of a cost for me.

I do feel that they have a slightly better capacity than Rearz or ABU Simples but it honestly would not be enough for me to switch to them.  I still needed three diapers the day I wore them which is the same as the other brands I wear.  

In summary, one of the best diapers you can wear but they are just not for me.

Yes, we are planning on adding the colors to the Supremes as well later in 2019 if the colored Supreme Lites are well received.

Sorry, but we aren't able to do mixed colors in one package just yet. For now each bag would be one color. We'll offer 5% Mix and Match discount for those building a case of different colored bags.

Just my opinion....

I'd love to try all of the colors at once in some form of sample pack.  Please consider putting together a four pack of the white / blue / purple / green Supreme Lites that can be purchased, or partner with someone like Wearing Clouds or Changing Times Diaper Co to sell samples of each color.  For me, it's hard to determine which color I like just by looking at a picture.  I get a much better idea of how the color looks when I am actually wearing the item. I'd rather not purchase full bags of each color diaper, only to find out that I don't like a certain color on me.

Yes, for sample packs we are considering a multi-color option. Those are put together by hand so we have more flexibility with samples. I thought you meant the larger bags with 12 or 15, etc... that are available for sale. Those are loaded by machine and not easy to make into variety packs.

Great -- that works for me.

Finally broke down and got a package of the  Megamax diapers. Just put my first one on. One wetting and it doesn't even seem like I've wet it. The tapes seem really good so far.  I had a good fit when I put it on,  but adjusted the tapes for the heck of it, they're actually a little hard to unfasten.  I can't wait to put this diaper through the paces.

The Megamax diapers are pretty good,  after wearing my first one.  I weighed one and then put it on.  The Megamax is actually lighter in weight than some other my other diapers.

The fit for me is good and the diaper is comfortable.  I had a good fit, but decided to adjust the tapes to see how well they hold up.  As others have said,  it takes some effort to untape these tapes.  I  wet the diaper and I could barely feel the first wetting,  other than the warmth. I consumed some fluids and had a couple more wettings without issues.  Then I  went to bed. 

I woke up with an urge to pee, so I let it out and the diaper continued to swell.  I  let out moderate wettings,  nothing that I would consider a flood.  The diaper was still very snug. I  got up and walked around the house and sat down in a wooden dining room chair.  No leakage and the front of the diaper was pretty swollen.  Not much moisture in the seat of the diaper. 

Even though the fit was still good,  I  decided to adjust the tapes again,  several times.  One time,  I  even untapped all four tapes and reapplied the diaper.  A few more smaller wettings, followed by sitting in the chair for a few minutes.  Sitting down seemed to put stress on the tapes,  as it felt even tighter than when standing,  but the tapes held. 

When I noticed a small leak, I  stopped wetting the diaper,  but continued to move around and even re fastened the tapes again. 

The tapes are incredible on these diapers.  I had the diaper taped on very tight and they never failed. 

When I  finally took the diaper off and rolled it up, I  was a little bit disappointed.  Even though the diaper had swollen up huge in the front and groin area,  when I rolled up the used diaper,  it didn't seem much different than other diapers that I've used.

The wet diaper weighed 3 pounds,  9 1/4 oz. The diaper weighed a little bit over 7 oz. dry before I put it on,  so we'll call it a 3lb 2oz. change in weight.  Doing the math,  it works out to 48 fluid oz. of capacity.  That is what Northshorecare rates the Megamax large diaper capacity at.  I was thinking,  or hoping that they were under estimating the capacity, but it was dead on, at least for this one test. 

The Megamax does have some crinkle noise as I walked around the house,  in just the diaper.  Putting on a pair of jeans and walking around the house,  I couldn't hear the sound anymore.  The diaper is somewhat concealable when dry, but swells up quite a bit when wet.

The tapes are really what make this diaper stand out, I think.

1546092837981384683627.thumb.jpg.e30b068143c21412609b7aef80485073.jpgI received a sample this week and I was amazed at the quality and design.

I drive a para transit bus and have to wear diapers 24/7 and the current diapers I'm using leak before they are even wet past the front area 

I wore the first mega man for over 12 hours and was wet only 2 inches behind the crotch area I toss and turn in my sleep and this brief didn't  say or come lose was a little difficult  to take off from the tapes being the best of any brief on the market I have tried.

I like the fact that that the is not a wetness  indicator as they lead to changing earlier than necessary at times

Only worry I have is when it builds up after wetting will have to try several styles of pant in the closet to help conceal it at work.

Megamax diapers are good but do not wick very far.

The front half can be soaked to max but the back is still dry.

at night i just roll on my back and go but i still can not soak the back half of the diaper.

We decided to try the Megamax diapers. We ordered a 10 pack on Sunday, and they arrived today (Tuesday). Plus we got samples of the supreme lite diapers to try. We are going to put the Megamax diaper to the test tonight to see well they hold up. I'm excited to try this diaper out tonight when I get home from work.

The MegaMax diaper is a very good diaper in my opinion. I got home from work and was put into the MegaMax diaper about 11:00pm, and went to bed about 12:30am. Got up around 9:00am and still have not had to be changed yet even after a few cups of coffee, but it it pretty soaked and will have to be changed soon. 

Were going to Tenesesee after we get married for our honeymoon which is about a 10 hr drive for us. My fiance told me she might use these diapers for our drive there.

Hi

juat putting in my two cents. 

I have been wearing the supremes for three years now and love them.  Great absorbency and wicking from front to back. 

 

The megamax max is my new daytime diaper. It is thinner than than the supreme and is very comfortable. However it pools all up front. Yes this was a surprise but still great absorbency.

now being an active person who is incontinent, I don’t get 12 hours out of the mega because I like me coffee in the morning and yes I drink iced teas for lunch etc. so that is to be expected. However, this weekend I decided to stick a booster pad, the north shore booster pad to be exact in a mega for a trip. I put my mega on at 6am and by 7pm it was still going. I had to change because it weighed a ton.  The booster wicked all the way to the back which was the first time that happened. Really if I was just laying around and watching tv it probably would have lasted till bed time. And weighed two tons. 

What an outstanding diaper. With a little help from the pad.

I agree, same here. The front was soaked and the back was still dry.

Well at 4:45pm I had no choice but to change. I used the booster I normally use with the dry 24/7 and I noticed it didn’t fit as well length wise but worked nonetheless. The first thing I noticed is the swelling at the front after a couple of hours and was a little uncomfortable but that was ok. As time went on the bottom and back of the diaper did seem to wick but the back didn’t rise as high. There were no leaks at all and it did seem to last as long as the Dry 24/7 which I hoped would not be the case. I fully expected it to last longer given the much higher price per diaper. Don’t get me wrong this is a very good diaper but much more expensive than the Dry 24/7. I don’t care for the writing on the diaper but that part is livable. I did need to use electrical tape over the diaper tapes to hold them secure which is also not unusual for me. I use a diaper suspender and the first thing I noticed is the plastic backing seems a fair amount thinner that the 24/7 because I had to roll the top of the diaper down further to get the clamp on the suspender to hold tight. All in all a good diaper. I’m not sure who the target market is but what will stop me from making monthly purchases would be the price. This is only my view. I hope this helped others who need a quality diaper. :)

same here! otherwise, a very good diaper and one i'll buy again and again. perhaps it's something they can work on for their second or third (or whatever number they're on) version.
