mbs80 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi all - 55/m DL here. Just wondering whether guys have it pointing up or pointing down when in diapers. I wore three disposables today for about four hours, found that there was less leakage sitting down with it up. Let me know, as I will be wearing multiple disposables in a seminar for a few days next month. I want to keep them on for as long as I can. I am unable to get anything other than from a drugstore. I read something about bambinos (?) that they could last 15 hours - wow - that would be a dream come true. Take care all Link to comment
Diapers4Me Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Guess it depends on how long you are! :-) If I point it up, I leak big time! Link to comment
AbriForm Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Bambino certainly can last 15 hours... I've gone 16-17 with sleep, though I usually average 12-13 when wearing while awake. Link to comment
nappyloon Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Up ! But this does have a few problems as previously mentioned as Diapers4Me says. Down can be painful to my Kidneys. Link to comment
Radioman Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 DOWN. Up will leak when laying down. Link to comment
Dookey Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Down, less likely to leak. Link to comment
beallucanb Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I point down with disposeables, or it leaks, even with plastic pants, which I always use, but when I use a cloth diaper with a good amount of stuffers, i like it up, because I never leak with cloth, unless I'm hopelessly wet, like hours of wetting...soaking wet the whole diaper it weighs a ton when I finnaly take it off.

nappyboymids Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Up and down! Or, more precisely, up during the day (when I'm either standing or sitting all the time) and down at night. Actually, I'm a recent convert to down at night, but it's definitely more effective against leaks if you sleep on your front or side ... Link to comment
CDLover Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Up is more comfortable. With thick cloth diapers I don't need to worry about leaks CDL Link to comment
Acecool Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Down...., if I go up I am over the waist band... Down, I am between my legs but hey, its comfortable. Link to comment
babybeowulf Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I go up, but maybe I should switch... Link to comment
Diaper Mike 05 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Slightly down, enough to aim down, but not too much where when I am going, the top of the diaper doesn't remain unused. Link to comment
RMS401 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I used to point up exclusively, and absolutely hated to let it dangle, as it caused interference with the boys, especially when I sat. But then I got prostatitis and read that one thing that can cause it is restricting the flow of urine. I doubt that had anything to do with my issues, but I wanted to take no chances, so I began to let it point down, and that's how it's been ever since. In underwear it's up, in diapers, it's down. -RMS Link to comment
attends_99 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Down I get bad leaks if it is up Link to comment
JD Diaper Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 allways up if not i cant pee, if it up and I have diaper on its almost a natural release. Link to comment
babylin Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you wear disposables, it does not matter. Up or Down : it's going to leak. If your question pertains to comfort, as above, that depends on your endowment. For infants, cloth diapers were folded one way for girls and another way for boys, because as a baby you didn't stick up or down. You stuck out! Personally, I it point up for being upright daytimes, and point down for nights because I sleep on my back with thicker padding in the back. HAPPINESS IS WEARING COTTON DIAPERS Link to comment
tommee Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Down. I find up uncomfortable. Link to comment
