  1. Diaper Lover
  2. Incontinent
So this Thursday going to Avengers movie at 10pm at night and going to be wearing a diaper. But how can I boost it to last longer?

Also next Tuesday I have doctor appointment to look at pain in my feet and was thinking on wearing to that as she shouldn't need to look at that region. Should I risk her seeing it or just go just in undies?
 
Movies are easy.... going to the doctors office is anouther thing et entirely. Are you willing to tell the doctor why your in diapers
 
I always wear a diaper at the doctors and she knows it because I am incontinent.

Using a booster pad will help it last longer.
 
Nearly anything that absorbs liquid can be used as a booster. I often use baby diapers since they are effective and cheap. Diaper booster pads, maxi pads, and even towels can also be used. Heck, in a pinch I've even heard of people stuffing their diaper with wads of toilet paper.
 
This is a difficult equation to solve. You are trying to boost the effectiveness of an absorbent product for extended wear (and presumably heavy use) while in a seated position. Arguably, the seated position is the most difficult situation absorbent products contend with (that or side sleeping). Usually adding "boosters" can actually cause leaks as they fill the space where the leak guards are and begin to force fluids right out the sides. And in this position I would recommend not using a booster anywhere but upfront. I've found there is no need, and could be detrimental, if the boost has any bias to the rear.

You are going to need to experiment with whatever system you choose to use. However, I can lend some insights I've discovered when I know I'm going to be seated for a long time:

1) You will need a LOT of room up front. You are asking your product to work almost entirely from the front and, in general, that is where the least amount of padding is. If your product is tight up front, you will leak. If your product swells a lot, it can make things tight as the room is taken up, and you will leak. You will need to make a lot of room up front while still maintaining a secure and viable leg seal. This means you need to experiment with putting your products on in different fashions. Try taping your product on with a bias towards the front, try taking that to an extreme. Test it out.

2) You should use a product that promotes wicking. For the most part, if a product wicks well it doesn't absorb much. This is due to the different composition of materials. For a product to wick it relies on pulp and other fillers, but they don't absorb much. For a product to absorb a great deal, a great deal of SAP is used. Awesome material that's great at locking in great amounts of moisture, but doesn't wick well. There are some great products out there that combine the best of these features and by far the best I've ever found is NorthShore Supremes. These have great absorbency and wick far better than any product I've ever tried. In a seated position, you can expect to use almost ALL of the available padding front and rear prior to leaking.

3) If using a High SAP product, try augmenting it's wicking abilities. Almost like a "booster" you can help a high absorbency product wick better by placing a different medium inside the product. You could use a washcloth the crotch leading to the back. This could help promote the spread of liquids to the rear of the product. This also feels wet. You may need to use more powder than normal or a barrier cream as this wet cloth will be next to your skin.

4) "Cool people wear their hats backward". This method can also work well with high absorbency products. Most of them tend to have a LOT of padding in the rear, and much more than what is offered in the front of the product. However some of them don't have as much SAP in the back as they do in the front (ABDL's love the way something swells). But products tend to naturally have much more room in the seat for expansion purposes (usually intended for the introduction of solids). All of these features combined can mean excellent absorbency in the seated position. You will naturally have MUCH more padding available, it will wick much better and all over the front, it will tend to wick much better towards the "back" where there is much more SAP, and you've reduced the amount of padding that you're actually sitting on which in turn reduces the chances of press-out leaking. In this scenario (if you still have very good leg seals, and I've found most of the time they're even better) you should have MORE than enough room up front for expansion. This also means that you have enough room for an actual booster. Seriously, this expedient method has worked wonders for me with high capacity products in seated positions.

5) "Diaper Sandwich" (dude bits only). This method works great on a number of levels, but it does require at least one cloth backed product. This works best if you have a good cloth backed diaper, and a high absorbency plastic backed diaper. Put the cloth backed product on as you normally would and locate your gentleman's sausage. Mark it's location and remove the product. Use a very sharp object to cut a horizontal slit that will provide a very snug fit when not excited. Flip the diaper over and put it on backwards. You can still tape as normal by twisting the tapes so they are the right way, that way they aren't against your skin. This is where the turtle can come out of its shell. Ensure that your goods are pulled all the way through and the diaper is sitting snuggly against your skin (this actually feels amazing, it's the closest fit you'll ever have and yet nothing is being squished). Now apply another (high capacity) diaper as normal. You've effectively swathed your man pipe in a cocoon of diaper goodness. You've effectively doubled the amount of absorbency you have up front with the added benefit of staying drier than you ever have before (nothing in contact with the actual diaper other than the dipstick). The downside is that you will have some SAP that comes out (change in the bathroom) and if you ever have need for protection from the other end...it's not pleasant.

6) "Go big or go home". This method works if, and ONLY if, you can still achieve great leg seals. You can simply go a size up in your protection. Stepping from a medium to a large will usually net some more absorbency, but more importantly MUCH more room for expansion. If you can still achieve great leg seals, try going up a size. You might find you have more than enough room for fitting a booster in without going through the hassle of these other methods.

7) WARNING: This method can NOT be recommended if you don't understand your body very well!
Much like those that have to deal with brown accidents can avert them or hold them off with the use of preventative enemas, those that deal with frontal leakage (like myself) can prevent or reduce the severity of accidents my reducing output. To reduce output you have to reduce your intake. Try cutting fluid intake up to a day ahead of time (do NOT dehydrate yourself!). If you can reduce fluid intake sufficiently (without endangering yourself) you can significantly reduce your fluid output. However, this can absolutely have an impact on your health if take to an extreme. Also, you are in danger of over indulging in fluids when you start drinking again, which completely negates why you did this in the first place.

8) Stretch before a marathon. Just like any arduous physical endeavor it behooves you to stretch out first. You should practice holding as much as you can for as long as you can. BUT DON'T TAKE IT TOO FAR! If it hurts, seriously hurts, STOP and just let it go. Stretching can help you hold a greater volume for a longer period of time, but you have to be very careful about controlling your release (if you still have the luxury of controlling it, some of us don't anymore, or at most don't have much). This leads me to number 9.

9) Metered output. If you can control it, you should really strive for very small and very slow releases. This ensures ample time for absorption and wicking. While seated is NOT the time for flooding. Back when I wore for fun and still had great control I found that you could combine stretching with controlled release to greatly extend the life of a product. Hold as much as you can until it truly become uncomfortable, then release a bit slowly to ease the discomfort, but do not drain completely! This method requires a great deal of control (and I only had this kind of control briefly in my late teens and very early twenties) but it works very well. The unfortunate side effect is that you will be on the edge of discomfort for an extended period of time. The method works, but it may not feel very good and does require great concentration.

10) Wear plastic pants! They can help contain leaks, but you will need to also have something a bit absorbent between your diaper and plastic pants for them to work really well. This can be as simple as a pair of regular underwear. They don't add a lot of bulk, but can help soak up any leaks without creating a puddle in the plastic pants. Also if you decide to change out of your diaper, and haven't leaked, you will have something to wear. This can also come in handy so that when you change and empty, you can continue to hold as much as you can. If you dribble or leak a bit you won't actually wet your pants.

If you've made it this far...I'm sorry. This is a problem that I've struggled to solve for a long time. As my control has diminished (nighttime issues became daytime problems), and I've found myself in this situation more and more, I've continued to try and solve it. It's something that I've considered and experimented with quite a bit. I honestly feel that the seated position, extended wear, and high fluid intake situation is the hardest for any product to cope with. There are a fair few professional drivers on here that could also lend you some great insights and I look forward to seeing them! I highly suggest you experiment with several of these individually and in combination prior to your deadline. You will need to know for sure if your method will work!

Wear your diaper with confidence, if you get a small leak just wrap a sweater around your waist like I do. I love going to the movies in diapers. It feels great and you can't see wet spots in the dark.

If you're going to go to the movies though you should be doing your absolute best to avoid leaks (plastic pants or some kind of cover is what I'd recommend) so that the next person who sits in the same seat isn't sitting in your residual urine

I would say you should be fine with a really good Diaper and maybe plastic pants on top just in case.

I have found if I'm at home and not going through an extreme amount of fluids a PeekABU could basically last me the majority of the day before I need to change; so it would definitely be able to handle 3 to 4 hours of watching a movie and traveling (there and back) easily.

And if you try your hardest and you do leak, let a staff member know and know where you were sitting so they can block it off/get it cleaned properly/whatever. I don't know that they do, but I'm sure they prefer someone tell them so they have the option to do something.

Man, it isn't that difficult to solve. Just wear a really good premium diaper you can trust won't leak.

So if I've never found a "really good premium diaper" that I "can trust" to not leak? Then what? Just don't worry about it and leak? Thanks Slomo. Your insight is very helpful. It could be that my output is greater than yours, or products don't fit me as well as they fit you. It could be that you don't ask as much of your products in similar situations. It could be that you don't find yourself in similar situations.

There are many products that can see me through a regular day for 8 hours or more...easily. There aren't any I'd list off hand that I'd trust in a completely seated position for upwards of 3 hours or more. The only one that comes close has been NorthShore Supreme but that still requires some help in most cases. That product is also relatively new to the market, hence the many years of trying to solve this problem.

Then you keep on searching. There are literally TONS of diapers out there, all made my different manufacturers. Then there's also learning and testing different ways to tape on each diaper too. I can guarantee there is a diaper out there you can learn to trust. You just either haven't found it yet, or haven't figured out how to put it on the right way for your body shape. It takes us all a LOT or trial and error to find the right one too, with emphasis on the error part.

Oh, and I drink about 2 liters of water per day. Enough to stay "very well hydrated". I'm pretty sure my output of sufficient enough to know what I'm talking about when I mention trustworthiness. It also took me about 10+ years to find "the right diaper for me" too, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about when I say error is part of the trial.

ps. I recently had an old find of a 10 year old Abena diaper, and compared it to a current Betterdry diaper. They were nearly identical (with a few minor improvements), so your claim to modern diapers being so completely new is thrown out right there.

Lol, if NorthShore Supreme is the best they have tried, they would probably be even more impressed with any of the "Ultra" Diapers; they really are a higher grade of Diaper than most ABDL Diapers - hence worth the extra cost

And if Prints aren't what the OP wants there is both NorthShore MegaMax and Simple Ultra for plain white Diapers.

Slomo....you're KILLING me Smalls! Hahaha!

I will continue to search as I have for two decades now. I don't think you are quite getting what I am stating or I'm really lost as to what your point is. This is about finding a product that works in a very particular situation, and an exceptionally demanding one. I know exactly what protection works for me throughout my day to day and on a nightly basis. I know what kind of protection works for me when things get a bit wonky in my system as well. Also I never claimed "modern diapers being so completely new", so you can throw that one out yourself. I said that NorthShore Supreme is relatively new to the market. I also said it was the ONLY example of a product that I would come close to trusting in this situation which is a further example of me searching.

Hahaha! I don't get what you're on about bud. It's cool, but you are confusing me. In one post you say it's not that hard in response to my post of learning and testing different ways of approaching a problem. In the next post you tell me to learn and test different ways! What?? Hahaha! Then you state that you know what YOU'RE talking about because of trial and error. My entire post stems from decades of MY trials and MASSIVE errors! Hahaha! That's why it's such a large post! You also said that I hadn't figured our how to put it on the right way so it takes trial and error. My first suggestion to the OP was finding a better way to apply the products!

Listen, I understand you have years of experience...but you aren't the only one. I've probably tried just as many products as you have, maybe more maybe less. But I'll bet we've had a lot of the same experiences. This situation, this one very particular situation, is one that still tests products to failure FOR ME. If I were a side sleeper I'd probably be just as detailed in how to solve that problem. However, I am very happy that you've found a solution!

pps: Attends 10 years ago were crap and so are today's Betterdry's. {change my mind meme}
 
I wear when I go to the movies so that I don't have to get up a minimum of 2x during the movie. I never restrict fluid intake because that triggers bad headaches (yes, it does, and I don't know why I'm different because I'm talking about the slightest variations in hydration causing headaches.) I also often wear on long car trips to avoid hitting every rest area. I would put one booster that ran from the top down to the crotch. I had leaks on the long car trips, but I almost never have leaks overnight. I realized the only difference is that at night, I use thin Northshore large stuffers, one on each side. I thought those were just to protect my side sleeping self, but while sitting in a car (or at the movies), because I'm NOT at all well endowed, the urine would end up running down both sides. Adding the boosters to each side doesn't increase bulk in any kind of detectable way but helps a lot. I also use Gary Wear pants and cover all that in a something like Under Armour boxer briefs for compaction (and discretion) and wicking if there's a slight leak. I understand "leaving room" but I do the opposite by compacting and that works for me. I can't get a Rearz Inspire + or the Northshore Megamax to leak at less than 8 hours like this.
 
Try Betterdry or Crinklz diapers they are very absorbant
 
Well successful at wearing for Avengers last night I brought a diaper bag also as I would change into a new diaper before the movie started. They did ask to check my bag 😂 And they found diapers but they didn't know what they were at first so they asked to have me put out the contents and I was like, it would have to be done in private. So they took me to a room and I pulled out my diaper stuff and they were like oh I'm so sorry.

We will see how Doctors appointment goes on Tuesday.
