Not unless you're a really thin adult. The Attends Premier is remarkably close to what an adult-sized Pampers Swaddlers would be (except no fragrance and different tape design). They're probably between an M4 and a BetterDry in terms of adsorbancy. I highly recommend you try them out. I think...

For diapers, most manufacturers will list 7 as 41+ lbs, size 6 diapers as 35+, and size 5 as 27+. A quick search on WalMart.com shows the major brands doing this: Pampers: Huggies: Parent's Choice: All Good (Pampers): Cuties:

Domtar (maker of Attends brand) sold off it's personal care line to a private equity firm (a PE firm is basically a company that buys other companies and makes changes to increase profitability/value, then sells it to another firm at a higher price)...

You've highlighted the main issue with "useable" capacity ratings. I prefer to see the ISO ratings (with all its shortfalls; grossly exaggerating useable capacity, discounting attributes such as wicking performance, acquisition rate, containment design features, etc.) because it at least gives a...

MEK is pretty nasty stuff - don't use it if you don't know what you're doing. Best bet would be a enzyme based cleaner specifically for urine. Try one of the pet stain carpet cleaners (just make sure it says something about 'enzymes' on the label).

I tried a bunch of brands when I was there, but I ultimately resorted to double-diapering to get the overnight absorbency I needed. Cut a slit along the length of the inner diaper. I found I could get pretty close to double the capacity that way. Consider using one size larger for the outer...

They aren't bad - I'd consider them a step above store brands. These are the mid-tier of Medline's range (Classic --> Extra --> Plus --> Ultra --> Super [Restore]). These do have standing/double leak guards. The R (Regular) fits between Medium and Large sizes. I'd pick them up if they are a...

TL;DR - NorthShore Supreme = Good absorbency, excellent wicking. I seem to remember an older thread where people mostly agreed that the NorthShore Supreme had the best wicking. It's been a while since I've worn those, but I do remember being surprised at how much better they distributed liquid...

lol. I've had cases get drenched after delivery, but the inner bags did a good job keeping the diapers dry (the outer box basically disintegrated when picked up).

Hey everyone - I just noticed that Amazon dropped the price on cases of Medium Dry24/7's to $100. That's the best price I've ever seen, and $15+ less than other sellers. Unfortunately, it looks like you need to be a Prime member to purchase. If you use Subscribe and Save, you can save an...

Hey everyone - Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I work in tech (insurance), and enjoy building things (DIY projects) in my free time. I've been married to my amazing wife for 5 years, who is supportive, and will even offer to participate periodically.
