Finding the Right Brief
My daughter is 40 years old, and she has worn diapers her whole life. She has recently gained weight. I am having a very hard time finding the correct fit for her. I think I have tried every brand on the market. She is very small in the crotch, and almost every diaper is too wide for her. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

By correct fit what do You mean? How large is she? Can She walk? Does she have problems with leaks? I'm a 50 year old disabled lady. I have had problems with incontinence for 25 years. At this point I do need and use adult diapers for complete incontinence. I'm 5ft1in and about 130 pounds which is a bit heavy. We use the Tranquility briefs and boosters. And also Attends. Other better briefs Secure x plus . I have found the wider briefs are better to prevent leaks. I don't have much feeling down there. So comfort may mean something different for Me.

Depending on size, you may try bariatric briefs. They maintain the Large/X Large brief size but add more stretch in a belt like form.
In my experience as a 24/7 wearer of tabbed briefs for both forms of incontinence, Tranquility products have a more narrow landing pad area between the legs and work great.
I use Tranquility ATN (AllThruNight) brand for daytime instead of a normal daytime brief because they allow movement OR sitting/laying down under high fluid capacity without leaks.
At night I use different diapers based on fluid intakes, amount of each, and flow of either form of incontinence before bed. Some nights I can get away with a simple Depends Tabbed Brief with a booster, others require more protection such as Seni Super Quatro Lv 9 protection briefs or something as strong as NorthShoreCare's MegaMax brief holding 6,000mL
