Diaper Fit and Confidence

The best way to find a good fit for a diaper is by making sure you have the right size. Usually most adult diapers go by waist size and weight. It is kind of critical to make sure they fit well around your legs too for fewer leaks. The better fitting diaper you can get the better confidence you will have.

Nice picture!! 😉
My 40 year old daughter is very small. She use to wear Small Attends, but they are too small now. I am trying to find something similar, but it seems like all of the diapers go from small to medium.....and the medium is like 44 inches wide. She swims in them. Can you suggest an alternative????

You want to make sure too that the diaper covers every area it should. Front middle back. The leg cuffs on a diaper shouldn’t be always pinching into you’re skin. Sometimes that can be hard not to have happen. The waist should also be snug but not too over tight and not really loose.

I find the best fitting daper is one that has a stand up rim around the legs, so you do not risk having it leak. So far I've been very lucky with the fit.

Go for Youth Size. And no, actually they shouldn't ever pinch your skin. If that happens, try a different size/brand altogether. Diapers should never pinch and should be adjusted/replaced if they do. Your diaper/nappy should fit like a normal pair of underwear, with exception that the sides will be more snug to your legs/hips. Still, however, they should never pinch. Different hips/butt sizes/lengths/curvatures/etc can cause different diapers to fit differently depending on the person using them. Women have different shaped hips than men as well, so you always have to adjust and make fit according to individual user vs individual brands.

Youth size is too small for my daughter. She has gained some weight. I have tried almost every brand, and am still not satisfied.

In honesty it's hard to find a nonleaking diaper and sometimes it is beneficial to use booster pads in slightly larger diapers for more absorbency. On a 32" waist you could go for the 36-44 waist size and add one of the super absorbent booster pads, helping take up some of the rest of the empty area in the diaper.

Booster pads help alot!

Note I did have a chance to try the Small MegaMax from Northshore and found it a much better fit for a smaller waist. Being a 34" myself, it is much more snug where it needs to be and seems to prevent leaks better.

Every underwear I try leaks urine onto the leg openings. It then goes on my clothing. What am I doing wrong? I have severe incontinence so I wear a pad with the underwear.

What Brand and product name is that one?

I shave my diaper area every few days. It's too hard to wipe me up with hairy bottom.

Finding a proper fitting Diaper with the right comfort, discreetness, and level of protection can be Frustrating and expensive.
But, my best advice is Call "Northshore" and they are very helpful in finding products that they carry and will Send you FREE Samples upon request

That bum bunchiness seen in the Chris Challe photo 2 really effects me, too, no matter the brand I've tried. And after sitting on that bunchiness for a time, it feels like I am sitting on rocks. People manage to design anatomically perfect underpants, why not do it for diapers, too?
