If I’m on a long altar trip or for some reason won’t be near a bathroom in short notice I wear a diaper. Have to at night as well.mikesecret said:
Yeah, I can’t imagine the puddle I would leave behind if I drank beer and was wearing a Depends pull up. Some of my worst leaks in public were from drinking alcohol. I usually avoid it too.DAJA said:
The North Shore pull-ups arrived a day earlier and I was able to wear one to bed last night and another to work today. I don't have U-IC most nights, I usually wake up dry, but I did wet the bed last night and the pull-up handled it fine as it wasn't a full bladder.EveMoonElf said:
I have U-IC and typically wet a lot at night. For sleep, I'd rather wear a plastic-backed tab diaper of good quality but often wear a good pull-up if I suspect I'll need a #2 visit to the bathroom. I've found that I'd rather wear a really good pull-up with a GaryWear Active Brief overnight than a crummy tab diaper with same. I would, however, prefer an Abri-Form level 4 every night. Affordability is a factor, and I don't need a 12-hour-per-diaper wear time, because I'm at home more often than not.EveMoonElf said:The North Shore pull-ups arrived a day earlier and I was able to wear one to bed last night and another to work today.

During the workday the concern is moreso IBS-D, which if it's going to happen, it is usually a morning issue for me. One of my main issues pre-diaper has been the drive to work in the morning in particular, due to traffic and the lack of bathroom access. I kept a spare pull-up in my purse, so that in case this happened I could change when I got to work, but, so far today's is clean and dry - I'll wear one to the office again on Tuesday and see how it goes!
So far I'd say, as others have said in this thread, clearly this would not offer the same protection as a diaper. But so far, it seems like it might work very well for what I need.
That's good to know! There's a Fred Meyer store up the street from me that undoubtedly carries those.Danielgartin691993 said:
Depending upon the situation, sometimes a booster pad allows an essential, no-undressing-required change of the booster only. Everyone should use what works for them, whenever possible - although sometimes that evolves.ksboy71 said:
TBH I'd never considered a booster with a pull up. My last shipment from NS did have two sample pull ups, and I think I have some booster samples from them in prior shipments stashed away in my cabinet. I may have to give that a try. Thanks for the reminder lol!AttilaThePun said:
You're welcome! It's something I've been trying with the pull-ups I found online that have *really* tall leak guards and a wide flat expanse for booster placement - and even without a booster, they have a considerable amount of SAP compared to others I've tried so far.ksboy71 said:
Well, unfortunately the samples run a bit small, I'm a 34 and I wear a medium megamax comfortably. They sent medium pull ups, but they were just too small and pinched me in the leg openings. I'd almost think they may work for short periods of time, or for more smaller "issues". I may request a large sample in my next shipment to get a better idea.AttilaThePun said:
Mr. Sluggo must have sent you a too-small sample!ksboy71 said:Well, unfortunately the samples run a bit small, I'm a 34 and I wear a medium megamax comfortably.
