- Cost was a big factor. The pullups that I used were rather expensive and the briefs are not nearly as expensive as the diapers. In addition, my partner had some lying around in storage from a deceased's relative. I found the protection of the briefs to be much better than any pullup or guard combination that I have used.1. What criteria did you use to make this decision?
2. What were the advantages, and what were the disadvantages?
When I first started, I used the Tranquility slimline. I am very fond of these. The Tena stretch was also a very good, breathable, and comfortable. The only different between that and a pullup is how you put it on and the fit. I found them very comfortable.3. Is there a particular fitted brief that would be particularly suitable for someone in my situation?
I have not.4. Is there anyone who experimented with fitted briefs but ultimately decided that pull-ups were the best option for them?

Cost was a big factor.
Changing a brief is also a lot easier than a pullup since I don't have to remove any clothing, just pull down.

One of the disadvantages of the disposable diaper is trying to use the restroom while wearing ANY disposable diaper with tape tabs. Every manufacture claims the diaper they manufacture have "user friendly" tape tabs that can be re-fastened. In my experience, some work better than others, but I have yet to use one (re-fasten) the tape tab more than once with ease of use. This is where the pull-up has a tremendous advantage over the disposable diaper with tape taps. I maybe be wrong, but I think most people that make the transition from the pull-up to the disposable diaper may start out with the best of intentions staying diligent to re-fasten the tape tabs whenever possible. In my opinion, re-fasten tape tabs is easier said than done leading to many frustrations eventually succumbing to the use of the diaper. I just don't have any success re-fasten tape tabs more than once, and most the time the diaper is already wet to some degree anyway. I'm bladder, and bowel incon, but I started out just being bladder and overtime my level of incontinence changed, and so did my needs of protection. I've always said everyone has to use whatever works best for them, and what works best for me, may not work best for you.
