Wearing to work is pretty nice. I was thinking about getting a pack of Abu Preschools clothbacked. Do you think those can be concealed easily? I don't like the tapes though. They would make it hard to take it off and use the diaper again later if I never went potty. The new tykables look nice but they are plastic backed. Maybe there is a large pull up size I can get? With velcro sides? Or a baby diaper I can mod a little bit?
The new tykables are
slighty louder than the preschool but not by much. I can't tell any difference in sound between the clothbacked and regular preschools. I was hoping they would let my hip skin breathe a little more but didn't seem to help, and stretching was a big problem for me, so preschool plastic is my daywear.
The preschool I would estimate to be a 4/10 on sap quantity, so they don't swell a lot, but to get their fair capacity they're kinda thick. I wear loose fitting cargo jeans to work so I don't crush the boys. Diaper bulge will be a bigger problem than sound where discretion is concerned.
The new tykables have a lot higher sap in them so will hold pretty much any wetting you can throw at them during a day at work I would think, but swelling would be a
big problem if you have to be in close contact with the same group of people for an extended period of time. On the other hand, they have front elastic and I find they're just a lot more comfortable to wear, and I don't usually wet while at work. If they were cheaper, (and
more reliably available!) I'd wear them for daytime instead for the added comfort and knowing they had enough capacity to take a few wettings without batting an eye. (I can leak a preschool on my second flood) As it is for me, they work ok for overnight (about "space-grade" capacity?) but are thinner and a little more comfortable when dry. I think their best use is weekend-wear when you want to be out in public and active, not be too obvious, be super-comfortable, all with the confidence to wet as much as you want without worrying about it.
