Good cloth covered diaper?

[Archives1]

I have been using Tena Supers at work for awhile. They are ok. I like that they have a quiet cover, are fairly thin and have the velcro tapes. I do use the bathroom throughout the day so I like I can untape and retape multiple times. The only downfall (besides the ugly green color) is that there are no leak guards and sometimes they leak in the back of the legs while sitting. Even if they are not that wet, they still will leak there because there are no leak guards to funnel it to the back. I then tried the Abena pull-ups L3 as they have leak guards, but they leaked out the front because the weren't tight enough around the legs. I even bought the smaller size M3, but they were too tight to be comfortable.

So does anyone have a recommendation for a somewhat discreet, but decently absorbent cloth covered diaper with leak guards?

Molicare makes a good active brief

Yes Molicare has been a great diaper!! I where the molicare Cody slips that have a plastic center but breathable sides and these really don't leak and are not noisy at all!!!!! I wear these almost exclusively during the day other once in a while I'll where the Tena slips that are all plastic but also very discreet but do hold more. The molicare a are very very comfortable and as long as you change by the 2-3rd wetting you'll be fine. I do have quite large voids when I go so I'm comfortable saying these will hold quite a bit.

I would try Northshore Supreme briefs I have never had a leak with them especially overnite

Seni Quatro are really good. I personally hate cloth backed diapers but the Seni's are the only ones I can tolerate.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I looked at the Molicare selection and was beyond confused about what name correlates to which diaper. I am in US, so I don't think the have the "cody" style here, unless they call it something else.

I tried the Seni Quatro a few years back and for some reason I could never get a good fit. May try them again in the future, but I think they were a little bulky for daytime.

I ordered a case of the Northshore AirSupreme that I should get tomorrow. I liked the reviews on the them and looks like the tall leak guards are exactly what I need. These may be a little bulkier than what I am used to, but I guess we'll see how they look under dress pants. I also liked that they threw in a sample of wipes and 2 of their plastic backed Supreme diapers. I'll see how those compare to the Dry 24/7 I wear when not at work.

Thanks Again!

Sorry I meant the comfy slips. They may have a different name to them but you should be able to identify them on the description. I'll try to look them up tonight and get back to you.

I got the Northshore AirSupreme diapers and wore one today. I like how they feel and fit, but are way too bulky for daytime for me. I didn't think it would be too bad until I started using it...the swell was too much to be discreet. Really liked them otherwise (which is good since I got a case) and will be great to wear when it is hot.

I just placed an order for a pack of the Northshore AirPremiums. I hope they are constructed just like the AirSupremes with less bulk. I also ordered a pack the Molicare Premium extra plus to see how those work.

Just a quick update:

The Airpremiums are a great product from Northshore. It is as comfy as the supremes without as much bulk. They fit nicely and there is no chaffing at the legs (which the Tenas would do at least once a week). The leak guards make all the difference in the world for me. I have yet to have a leak even when fairly wet. Think I found my new daytime diaper. They are more expensive than the Tena supers, but you gotta use what works.

The Molicares were a disappointment. Also got them from Northshore and the sizing is all wrong. I got the mediums since my waist size was 7 inches smaller than the max for that size. They barely fit...the tapes only come to the side and not the front. They are really thin and not very absorbent. They were rated at 6 drops out of 10. I figured if the old school molicare super plus were a 10, this would still be a decently absorbent diaper. False.

I have had excellent results with Tranquility, both the pullups and the air breathable briefs. However, I always wear Gary active wear pants over them.

I've found current 'cloth' covered disposable diapers to be unexpectedly irritating to my skin. The 'cloth' surface tends to resemble sandpaper chafing against my legs after a time. Solved this by wearing vinyl or plastic pants over, so lucky I had that option.

Has anyone tried the Seni Super Plus diaper? They are one step down from the Quatro (which I know are too bulky for daytime), but hope they are the same quality. I requested some samples, but just curious if anyone had experience with them.

I am still using the Northshore air-premiums, but looking for something a little more absorbent.

There decent but still pretty bulky for daytime use, I had a case of them about a year ago and they stayed together well enough but did clump bad after wet and they sagged bad!! Very uncomfortable after there wet. I pay the extra money from Europe and order tens active slips, I’ve found these to be the best so far

stonne168,

I haven't been on this site nearly as long as you, so you may not have seen an earlier post of mine regarding leakage. That said, I will share with you a thought that I think you should consider. My leakage issues, post surgery, are mostly daytime and less so at night. I use a soft silicone device that puts pressure on the urethra and reduces my pad usage from 2-3 per day, which may be less than your situation, to a single pad every day or two. I wear it 14 hours a day on average, though sometimes at night if I have a second beer in the evening. My life is pretty much back to normal, since I don't have to remove or adjust it before or after urination. If you are interested, I can provide info. Best wishes to you. duane dglisan@comcast.net
