The last time i was sick and diapered at the same time i ended up with my first UTI. Not a pleasant experience to get up in the middle of the night and be peeing blood. Scared the crap out of me.
I have just recently started using abena l4 premiums, and had the tabs tear off overnight. I found that 1 inch wide gorilla tape is the perfect size to reinforce the tabs. i use about a 6 inch piece on all 4 tabs, and so far so good!
I occasionally like to try new diapers, but most of them do not fit me correctly. I generally stick to Walgreens certainty diapers i get on sale. I use an extra large stuffed with two mediums with the wings cut off and add a booster.
I have a cabinet that holds all of my diaper supplies. I try to keep at least two bags of walgreens xlarge and mediums. The mediums are used as stuffers. I also keep two bags of belted guards as i use them as stuffers. The cabinet locks so i can hide my supplies from prying eyes.
