Guest Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I stopped wearing for awhile, and I've recently started back, and I cant seem to get the diaper snug enough w/o ripping the tapes off. How can I get a snug fit w/o this happening? HELP! Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I can't phatom which your talking about. If your talking about ripping the plastic to which they are stuck your taping to tight, but if they are ripping from their mount, then you are taping them to tight and you need better diapers..anyway with all joking aside ] Try taping over the factory tapes with another tape of various brand packing tape works pretty well. a 4 or 5 Inch length should cure the problem. Hope that helped. Link to comment
heartwood Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 OMG I found this out the other day!. Use a LOW HEAT! hot glue gun and just glue the tapes on. I know it is a lot of work but they will stay on as tight as you want them! : ) Link to comment
AutieAB Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I wonder if you're using a diaper that's too big or too small? If you're having to pull it so tight around you that it rips the tapes off their mountings, the size is wrong. Diapers aren't meant to be tight, they should just fit comfortably with the tapes attached on each side somewhere around about halfway between your hip and your bellybutton. Link to comment
:gremlin Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 white duck tape. it not only sticks to the diaper but if you use a lot you will have a hard time getting the diaper off with out distorying it. Link to comment
soggy Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 white duck tape. it not only sticks to the diaper but if you use a lot you will have a hard time getting the diaper off with out distorying it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I tried the "duck" tape brand at Walmart. It stuck, but not as good as I'd like it to, so I went with 3M packaging tape. It seems to hold better to almost any type of plastic backed diaper. It costs more than the cheapo "duck" tape, but I wanted a secure diaper (and I do like my disposables tight). Link to comment
nappyloon Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 If it is a tight Nappy/Diaper you want then get some 2" inch wide parcel tape and secure it with that. Mind you, you will nead a pair of boltcutters to get yourself out of the Nappy and of course this will completely destroy it! Have fun. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I bought a bag of Tranquility ATN a couple years ago and it didn't matter how careful I was, whenever I tried to tape them on the tapes pulled off the mounts on the back of the diaper. I hardly pulled on them at all, so after the third diaper I figured it was either a defective batch or else a very poor design flaw. I have not used Tranquility ATN's since that first package but I remember years and years ago when I used to buy regular Tranquility adult diapers and never had any problems with the tapes at all. I did get a roll of white duct tape to use on the remainder of the bage of ATN's. I like duct tape better than packing tape for a couple reasons. It sticks very well but it is not as stiff as packing tape. Duct tape has a tendency to flex and bend with the diaper as you sit or stand and that makes it more comfortable to me than plastic packing tape. Link to comment
pctrasher Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Dude, just go to your nearest staples (because office depot sucks) and buy some super glue, it's cheaper than duck tape, it holds better, looks more natural, and takes around the same amount of time to apply as duck tape...just don't get any on your fingers or you will have very hard fingers for a few days. Super glue is also great if you want to introduce a temporary callus to any part of your body if you intend to handle boxes or perform actions that would tear up your skin. An amazing fact, super glue was actually made to close minor cuts in hospitals instead of stitches. But yea, super glue solved the problem I was having with the abena tapes comming undone which I'm sure I'm not the only one with that pesky problem. Link to comment
Nappied Dan Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Not very nice but packing tape can work well. Plastic pants can also work nicely. Link to comment
