I'm looking for something to wear on top of my nappy that provides a bit more protection. I don't like the idea of plastic pants.
They look good but they look a bit over the top. I was thinking about something like this but I'm not sure. They're called nappy 'covers' on Amazon but it also talks about using inserts so I'm not sure if they're something I should be wearing on top of my nappy.diapeybabybrian said:PROTEC Briefs are the BEST diaper cover I've ever used.

PROTECBriefs Overnight Diaper Cover & Bedwetting Sheet Protector
Sick of the dreaded diaper dilemmas, including overnight bedwetting, and soaked pajamas? A diaper alone or cloth cover is sometimes not enough protection. Just pull on PROTECBriefs over the diaper to keep you clean, dry and happy! Get more sleep and wash fewer sheets! Less mess and more rest.www.protecbriefs.com
GARY WEAR Diaper covers are highly rated as well.
It tends to leak to the sides when I wet sitting down. I want to be able to do this and for the nappy to work. They're fine otherwise.CheshireCat said:Where do you feel you need the extra protection? Crotch? Sides? Waist? And how bad are your leaks?
Me neither. Try Amazon and look up one size adult diaper cover or pocket diaper. I’ve had mine for a few years and they’re still like new. Durable, and washable. Good luck.Lostboy123 said:I'm looking for something to wear on top of my nappy that provides a bit more protection. I don't like the idea of plastic pants.
I did but the leg elastic was uncomfortable even when I got a size up. Plus they smelled like chemicals even after washing/air dry. I hope they work out for you. I just got the PUL side snap BearHugs from CTDC. I love them!Jorelaxed said:Definitely try out Garywears active briefs, they protect really well, I use them daily, I have them in pink, And white colors.
Thanks, I have had some issues too with the elastics, I tried other brands but don't seem to last as long as these.DBabygirl2 said:I did but the leg elastic was uncomfortable even when I got a size up.

When you say leak to the sides, do you mean from the back of the legs or over the hips and from the side panels of the diaper?Lostboy123 said:It tends to leak to the sides when I wet sitting down. I want to be able to do this and for the nappy to work. They're fine otherwise.
Thanks!, I will try Northshores Trifecta.🙂Edgewater said:While everyone has an opinions regarding diaper covers. Anyone that uses their diapers are going to be faced with leaks!
PUL is quickly becoming the new standard for Plastic Pants. That said, The vast majority of diaper covers use the narrow elastic bands and most people do not like the tight line they can cause. I commonly upsize one size with that style.
My favorite diaper cover are from Northshore and their Trifecta series. I strongly recommend trying them as they use a wider comfortable bands and they use a material that does two very different things; outside is smooth and the inside will retain small leaks. Something totally different from what's on the market. Costing is more that Gary Wear, but will out last them 2.5 to 1 and I have seen longer.
Being transparent, I use both Gary Wear 'Tuffy' and Northshore's Trifecta as I believe in switching things up a bit.
FYI... the Northshore Trifecta is not a slim over pant. If you follow the sizing chart, you will get a diaper cover with very comfortable elastics, but it will be blousy. Just a heads up. I do like them very much.Jorelaxed said:Thanks!, I will try Northshores Trifecta.🙂
