A diaper rating that makes some sense

While it's debatable as to which are the actual best adult diapers, and these guys only tested 15 brands. This included a real world 48 hour test by an incontinent farmer going about his normal day! Not just lab tests. It also includes brief descriptions on why the others didn't make the grade.

The results match our 'testing" they could have just asked us

It's fairly accurate honestly, I'm glad to see they used testers who are actually physically active, this is something a lot  of reviewers forget about.

Lol.  Love that Rearz got called out for their fake capacity numbers by the New York Freakin' Times.

That poor farmer tester had to change the Depends 12 times a day.

It's a good read. I just think that they could have gotten more testers involved instead of just one. I'm surprised that they dismissed the Betterdry and Abena diapers without the tester wearing them for the 48 hour test.

No, he didn't test any of the store brands. None of them were of high enough quality to deal with his incontinence. The 12 is a projected number.

Ohh, I misunderstood that. It still would have been interesting if he would have tested the Betterdry and Abena diapers.  And a few more testers for comparison. 

I wonder if the farmer is a member of this group.  I can remember a farmer posting pictures of himself on the farm in a diaper.  I tried searching,  but couldn't find the pics

I'm just curious what he used before and which he uses now.

That, and how did the NYT's find him or contact him to do the testing? Maybe they worked with a urologist who had the farmer as a patient,  or maybe the farmer suggested the topic?
