TinyBunny Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Those are all popular. I think that I had an Incontrol Hybrid sample once and thought that they were good. So I'd use those and save some money over the year. I don't consider using four diapers per day to be more inconvenient than using three so that isn't a factor in my opinion. 1 Link to comment
rusty pins Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 That's a shit load of money for someone 24/7. I love diapers but wear once or twice a week only (unless on a rare once every couple years solo vacation when I wear 24/7 while on the trip for about a week). That would make for a pretty nice long vacation trip for a few weeks somewhere, even if I used 1/4 of the cost for diapers. Link to comment
TinyBunny Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Yes with numbers like those it'd be tempting to buy twelve cloth diapers and plastic pants and join the Cloth Diaper Club. 4 Link to comment

I agree with this - I can often make it through the day in 2 MegaMax's plus maybe one cheap "gym diaper" like a Prevail that costs $1.00 and buys me 2-3 hours, if the timeline between needing a change and planning to shower or to embark on some dusty or sweaty activity causes me to not want to put on an expensive premium diaper, when I know I will be changing again before I'd have done it justice. But you guys get diapers at decent prices - a case of MegaMax's in Canada is $180 now. With the exchange, that should be more like $150. That has caused me to use more Rearz products, because when they're on sale, I can still get cases for less than $100 CAD. 1 Link to comment

Like others, the "units per day" assumption doesn't resonate. With the Incontrol Hybrid (aka "Barry"), I know that 2 units a day is fine although admittedly, that's "wet only". For full use it would almost certainly rise to 3 units per day but unlikely to be 4. So for me, that table over-estimates costs by 33% - 50%. It's still a lot of money, something I offset by using lower cost premium products to augment the Barrys with BetterDry. Link to comment

Well that is a lot of money to spend on diapers. Makes me all the more happy I prefer cloth diapers and plastic pants, and if I go out I’ll use a medical type diaper like Attends, Tena or Abena.

PuraVidaDip Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Wow well I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but I just started leaking in a MegaMax after 4 hours. I can get 3-4 out of a hybrid most days. Messy makes it more challenging and forget the numbers. I mean I have 2-5 bms a day. I need to find an alternative to the supreme that will be an 8 hour diaper (2-3 hours for me). That won’t swell as much as a MegaMax. Plus makes it more cost conscious for messy diapers.

Do you have the right size? A diaper that is too big or small is more likely to leak. And the MegaMax are sized just a bit different from the other NorthShore diapers. Link to comment
