I've been having a hard time finding diapers that don't get lumpy during the day. Even when my incontinence flares up, I probably average 6-10 accidents a week, and sometimes I'll go several days without leaking. I end up changing diapers multiple times a day even when they're not wet, though, because the padding disintegrates and/or gets lumpy. Once I feel like I'm sitting on a bunch of golf balls, it's time to change, and often that's just 2-3 hours after I've put on the diaper in the first place. I'm guessing that it's from absorbing perspiration, since it's much worse on days when I'm active than when I'm sitting at my desk.
I've been using Abena L4s because they're the most resistant that I've found to breaking down and getting lumpy. What other brands do well for extended wear? I'd love to find something that I can put on at 7 AM before I go to work, and not have to change it until 6 PM when I get home. That way I'm not throwing away all these expensive diapers that aren't even wet.
When I do have a wetting accident, it's usually quite a bit, 400-500 ml or so, so I do need something reasonably absorbent to handle that sort of flood.
