I have not used the Molicare products for several years. However, I do use the Abena L4 regularly along with BetterDry and Confidry 24/7s. Each product has strengths and weaknesses. There a a couple of things that I consider when buying diapers. Fit and cost are the primary factors. I...

I also use the Abena L4. Most of the time I change standing up. One thing that has helped me is to get the diaper centered before I start taping. The tendency is to let the diaper slip to which every side you are taping first. Adjusting the diaper slightly to the other side before taping...
