Article: How long should a diaper last?

[Me :p]

I so want to design diapers when I grow up... Definetly for a European company though. If I ever do, I will try to send a sample pack to everyone on ADISC. Don't take my word for that though! I only said try.

well
this is pretty interesting....
it's amaizing the number of factors to be considered
but for me personally
id say thicker is better, if only for enjoyment....

I think if you get about 5 to 7 hours out of a diaper you are doing good, some days I get about 5 hours out of the wally world diaper, and sometimes it go's a little longer but not much.

I did get 9 hours out of a securex+ with a tena stuffer once, but it was, I think just a lucky day for me.

The diaper companys don't want the diaper to last, they don't make any money on you useing less, thats why some only last 1 or 2 wettings, they want everybody who wears changing those diapers as much as possible.

Turned out they are a wound care and incontinence supplier, and a lot of their diapers are imported from Europe. This place doesn't really advertise much, or make themselves known, they just get lots of people that were refered there from nurses and doctors. So I have this wound I have to thank for finding this place.

that company wouldnt happen to be hartmann would it...if so your in luck because they are the molicare company
