My order came and I have to say the M4 is as good as everyone says. It's more bulky than the Tena Slip Maxi I usually wear but boy does it bulk up. I usually put on a fresh nappy just before going to bed but I put the M4 on at 9pm, wore it to bed, got up in the morning and sat around in it having a coffee etc before having a bath (my usual routine). It was saturated when I took it off and I noticed that every single bit of the padding had been used.
In contrast to this, I put on a Tena Maxi at 10pm last night and when I woke this morning it had leaked slightly around my behind. In all fairness to the Tena, this rarely happens so it might have been a protest at me changing brand.
However, when I took it off I could see that the padding wasn't fully absorbed so it's bad that it should have leaked the way it did.
If the M4 was readily available in the UK I'd definitely wear it at home and for bed but I'm not sure if I'd wear one regularly when I go out. It's more bulky than the Maxi and I think it's noisier too. I don't think the padding contains as much gel as the Maxi because it isn't as squishy but, nonetheless, I like the extra bulk. I'm going to wear an M4 when I go out with my mates tonight and I'm looking forward to seeing if I can have a few drinks without having to change nappy - but I'll take a spare along in case!
