I just ordered my first case of Preschool Abu's Cloth Backed yesterday. They are going to get here Friday. I've never had a diaper that is actually sized to fit me before. The only things I have ever gotten to try has been Pull-ups and small Huggies diapers that I got from my brother when he was younger. I recently bought 2 packs of Goodnights a couple months ago and now I wanna get something my size.
Is there anything I need to know about an adult size diapers? I don't remember what it was like when diapers would fit me so is it gonna leak? Is there anything
I need to know that is different when cleaning up? I'm excited but have no idea what I'm getting into.
Expect a trial and error period of knowing how to put them on for the best fit - how much urine they will hold and for how long a period - what clothing can worn over the diaper -
if a moisture proof diaper (outer) covering is necessary to prevent leaks - is the outer clothing going to FULLY cover your diaper when out and about in public - are you comfortable
with this - #1 may not be a terrible mess more of an odor problem BUT the biggie factor #2 and the hygiene to clean up and cope with this not so pleasant thing after all "Shit does Happens" -
is this going to be a regular event at home not so much a problem but what about at work or out and about in the public - can you plan your clean up in aisle 1 (small restroom) or do
you or will you require more space (perhaps handicap stall) to effectively and efficiently - how do you plan on carrying any extra diapers about your person and any other gear i.e. baby wipes
necessary to take care of your needs.
OK you probably have thought all that through - how much time did you plan on this clean up and is your scheduling adequate to not delay your daily activities meetings agendas etc. - your family
close friends may know of your diaper wearing but have you made plans for a work-around when nature interrupts your requirements with other public persons.
Re: buying diapers - does what you have bought fit and fit right - are you on a budget - buying cheap may not be the answer you have planned - can you buy in bulk quantity to get a price break -
Maybe you will need a diaper with ample absorption or pads liners or even doubling to go the distance between changes - diapers like persons that wear them are sized and have various features
there is no one size or type that fits all - so as I started - trial and error will get you some of the answers - forum respondents offer critic for further consideration - Good Luck getting something
that you can comfortably live with and is within budget and availability !
