PrincessPaci Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hi everyone! I hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday season so far. I was thinking of making a post on asking on what I might be doing wrong because I have had some issues with my diapers, but then I realized that what I do is exactly the same and never used to be an issue. I have having a lot more issues with my diapers falling apart and/or leaking lately. For some background, I used to order around 60-90 diapers at a time and go 24/7 from NorthShore exclusively (the Megamax, mainly white but added some colors in every now in then...not sure if color matters...). The first case was great. I could put a diaper on, go about my day, then change after a few hours. Second case, the leg guards seemed to be a lot longer than the previous case, which would give me leg-guard wedgies and cause some of the accidents I was having to go in my pants. The leg guards also started to rub up between my legs and caused some irritation. The last case I got, I'm not sure what happened, but it has made me go from 24/7 to just at night, when I need them most. I wet once last night and it seemed full. The second wetting leaked everywhere. Mind you, with my over active bladder, a wetting for me isn't huge at all, maybe 8oz when my bladder feels like it is bursting. When I changed, the diaper looked almost like the Depends with tabs I used to buy before I had a card to order online with... I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with NorthShore's quality this year, or if I have just been unlucky. I honestly hope I have just been unlucky because I would like to go back to being able to order my diaper and trust them immediately instead of having to constantly worry if I am adjusted just right, if this diaper meets standards, or just any other general anxiety one might have with a low quality diaper. If others have had issues, any suggestions on other brands that are around the same price-point and absorbancy as NorthShore was earlier this year? Thanks! Link to comment

Thanks! @PrincessPaci I personally use Megamax and I have had no issues with them. I know @~Brian~ also uses them so can’t speak on his part but I do know they wordiness for me. 1 Link to comment
PrincessPaci Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thanks for the reply! It sounds like I may have just had some bad luck. I will give them another shot! Link to comment

AbabeBill Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 If they fell apart, and it’s normal use like you always have, that’s an issue. Maybe you got some bad ones? Contact Northshore, and let them know. 1 Link to comment
Cute_Kitten Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Megamax is my go-to diaper these days (pink and tie-dye) and I haven't had any problems with them. 1 Link to comment
willnotwill Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I alternate between Supreme Lite (blue) and megamax (in various colors). I've never had a problem. 1 Link to comment

dondd Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 My daily diaper (pun?) is the Northshore Supreme Lite with Supremes at night. Aside from an occasional tape issue, no problems at all. Link to comment

PrincessPaci Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thank you, everyone, for the feedback! Sounds like I may have just had some bad luck. I will order another case once I run low and hope for the best! 1 Link to comment

DAQ Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Depending on when and what you ordered it may have been actual different diapers. While I don't thing they have changed the leg gatherers I know Northshore changed the outer plastic on the colors a couple times. The old blue plastic was terrible. I don't know what it is like anymore because I have bought Tye-die and black exclusively this last year. Link to comment
technomonkey Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I have used NorthShore for years now. About 3 years ago i had one case that had defects i contacted costomer service they as for pic then they paid to have the case shipped back to them and they send me a new case plus half off on one more. so they made it right. i wear 24/7 so i use NorthShore Supreme Lite Tab-Style Briefs for day time and the MEGAMAX Tab-Style Briefs for night time. 1 1 Link to comment
munkey Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Been using Northshore for months, 0 issues. Link to comment
Three Rivers Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I have been using North Shore for quite a while now. I use Megamax in White, Black, Pink and Blue. I also use the Supreme in Purple and Blue. I also use the Northshore Go Supreme pull ons. I can say honestly say I haven't had any issues with their products. Link to comment
