I've been wearing plastic panties most of my life, so I have much to say on this. Firstly, when you use the term "plastic pants," I interpret you to mean 100% PVC (vinyl) plastic. I refuse to wear anything else, so that's all I know. As for what is "best" - well, that's a big question. The short answer is,
"It depends." (No pun intended, of course.) Question: How and when do you want to wear them?
If you're wearing an incon brief or pad in your underwear during the day, you can get away with a snug fit, a brief or low-rise cut. However, if you're wearing a proper diaper, you'll want something more generous, perhaps even with a higher rise. I usually wear cloth diapers to bed every night, for which I recommend a plastic pant with a fuller cut. This allows breathability and slightly better leakage protection. However, a garment of that type and size is difficult to hide under street-clothes.
Consider also plastic thickness. Thickness is measured in thousandths of an inch.
One thousandth of an inch is one MIL. Most adult plastic pants generally run in the 3-mil to 8-mil range. Personally, I find 3-mil to be much too flimsy, and susceptible to puncturing or tearing. Four-mil is about the minimum for durability, especially if you are physically active. Personally, I prefer a 7- or 8-mil thickness but I understand that many people find that thickness uncomfortable. To each his own; you'll just have to experiment until you discover what feels best on you.
ADVICE:
1) Be careful about Asian vendors (e.g., Haian), and make sure to scrutinize their size-charts very carefully. To this end, and especially
for us Yankees, make it a point to familiarize yourself with the Metric System, and learn what a centimeter is. Asian ready-to-wear stock sizes often run much smaller than in the West. An ill-informed size choice can lead to a pant that doesn't fit, and you can't return those garments, which means
You Eat The Cost!
2) Fetware (
www.fetware.com) went out of business some time ago when the proprietor(s) retired. This was a bitter,
bitter loss. Some of my favorite plastic panties I bought from Fetware and these are now irreplaceable. Accursèd!
3) Cleaning: My own practice is to handwash my plastic pants in either Woolite or Dreft, rinse thoroughly and hang indoors to air dry. Do not use chlorine bleach or excessive detergents for these will break down the PVC. Do not use a heated mechanical dryer.
