Underjams capacity and tips

[LivinaDLlife]

I am about 145lbs and i have about a 31" waist...I dont mind the underjams really, I kinda like them more than goodnites. The only thing i really dont care for is how the sides are made. If i wear them to bed they tend to rip on the sides. I do find by wearing a pair of panties over them it helps them from ripping because of tossing and turning.

Yeah I've had them on for about 4 nights now, and if you have them on for about 9+ hours in bed they start to stretch a little and tear from the bottom up on one of the sides. I am really blown away on how much these hold. They swell better than depends. I wouldn't be surprised if they hold more than the maximum protection. I just literally TRIED to flood them today and failed miserably. If a 19 year old kid can wet in these 2 good times, (i'm talking morning material length) and they are still absorbing, you have a good diaper. The underjam goes about an inch or 2 above my crack in the back, and they are definitely discreet. Not comfortable when hard though. I haven't had the tearing yet if I don't stretch them before putting them on. I don't understand why people say to stretch them, it's pointless.

Well I posted on your wall/visitor message thing before any of this

I've found through my experience with Underjams that they'll hold quite a bit of you wet slowly. I've got a 34" inch waist and I weigh 190 pounds (I'm 6'3") and they're tight, not uncomfortable though. I usually wear them when I'm doing homework and I tend to lay on my stomach on the ground or on the floor when I've got a lot of reading to do (Oh Dostoevsky you brilliant man...naming the drunken father after yourself and the hero after your son), and they do particularly well there.

Don't worry too much about ripping them, especially at your size.

If you've gotten comfortable enough with wetting I would advice just relaxing and not even thinking about it. That way you ensure that you won't flood the Underjam and make it leak.

Bump.

I'm using these too, and am having side-tearing issues.. I can't seem to wear it for more than 2 hours without the sides starting to give in, which is quite annoying because I don't pee every two hours (thus initiating a changing)... I read the tips in this thread and stretched them, but I don't seem to be able to end the ripping! As the-ownage said, they tend to rip from bottom-to-top. Anyone else have some more tips?

My waist is 28", and my hips are 32"...

Thanks



Edit: Girl version, L/XL size (bigger one).

Monkster, after I replied to your message I was giving it more thought. I'm wondering if it is a quality control issue. Though not becoming an issue with smaller children these are really made for. Some batches off the assembly line may be a little stronger than others, but both still are within the manufacturer's tolerances for strength for younger children's use. The varience in strength only becomes evident when they're used by people who are at or near the absolute maximum stretch limit. That would explain some of us having tearing problems and others not, with each of us being close to the same size in waist and hips plus nearly the same weight. Incidentally, I had the girls Underjams, too.

Hmmm, that would definitely explain it! This may very well be the case.

I haven't given up on them yet! :P
