So this is an odd question to post, but are there any good medical diapers that aren't too expensive that are at least decent?
Knowing your diaper budget and your country(since not all brands are available everywhere) would make it a little easier to drop a recommendation.peepthekiwi said:So this is an odd question to post, but are there any good medical diapers that aren't too expensive that are at least decent?

These are just a few off the list of brands/models I've personally used but I think you'll have to do some sampling yourself and find what works, also do some window shopping and compare prices that'll work for your budget.
Oh yes, I'm so sorry for not including that! I live in the united States, and my price range is about 1.50 per diaper or less. Again, my bad for not adding this earlierJonnythepony said:Knowing your diaper budget and your country(since not all brands are available everywhere) would make it a little easier to drop a recommendation.

- Abena M4(plastic backed) is always an easy one to suggest. Been using them for years, they hold a decent amount certainly beats Depends/store brands and the way they fit just works perfectly for me. Clumping may be an issue with lots of movement. Priced pretty good, cases of 42 can be found for around $50. If you can get over the "racing stripe" pattern I'd say try these.
- NorthShore Supreme is a good option, waist rise was just a little too low for my liking but absorbency was great. A little stiff out of the pack these performed pretty well, tapes worked well, the backing is robust and the absorbency was great. Plus there's a selection of colors now if you're into that. Haven't bought a pack of these in a while though, pricing was okay but the low waist was the deal breaker for me personally.
- Tranquility ATN is another "Better than Depends" option that's priced pretty low but I'm not a big fan of these. In my usage they don't hold up well to my needs but I'm sure will work if you don't need much. These have a very medical look but also have a very thin almost plastic bag like backing and often would tear at where I placed the tapes because I wanted a snug fit. In my experience, absorbency wise they're "ok" lighter daytime diapers but if you wet heavily while asleep these might not hold "all through the night" ironically. To me they're an alright option if you just need something. They're cheap and will work for short wearing times and hold more than one wetting.
I apologize for such a poorly done review of each, but I hope you find one that works for you.
These are my favorites. The Supreme is the overnight and morning diaper. Usually after breakfast I spend time on the internet so all the coffee has time to fill it. I will change into the Abena for most of the day and then the Tranquility for early evening when I don’t need a volume diaper. I’m a hermit so I also have an opportunity to change whenever I feel like it.Jonnythepony said:Knowing your diaper budget and your country(since not all brands are available everywhere) would make it a little easier to drop a recommendation.

That's so abstract!Dl4201 said:Abena 3s or 4s
S M L are the sizes
3 is pull on
4 is tab style

Thank you! I'll check it out!KrankyPants said:150 pennies or less? I see attends premier is right around there on Amazon. Ada Kigaines (YouTube) did a review of them and I hear a lot of people like them.
Wow, that is cheap! I'll be sure to check them out!Onesieman said:Tena Supers are a decent diaper. $45 for a case of 80, maybe more or less depending on size.
Huh, I haven't heard anything about them yet. I'll be sure to check them out though!PrettyLilPrincess said:Attends premier might be worth a try. They’re all white aside from the wetness indicator so they’re a bit more aesthetically pleasing.
I recently posted about a very positive experience with simplymedical.com where I got 2 cases of Abena L4 diapers. They have free shipping (not discreet) and a 10% off coupon right now that brought my price per diaper down to ~$1.08. They are top tier if you want the medical look/feel, really thick, and the only thing missing is a nurse with a thick Scandinavian accent bossing you around.peepthekiwi said:So this is an odd question to post, but are there any good medical diapers that aren't too expensive that are at least decent?
