Hello,

Well, now that my issues have resurfaced, for how long i don't know.. but for the immediate future, i need to start once again thinking about extended wear diapers for work enviroments, since Medicaid only covers the attends, and I just dont know if id feel comfortable wearing a standard attends breathable even with a booster all day.. because I started subsitute teaching again, and there will be times where i can't leave the classroom to change or use the bathroom.. which necessitates extedned wear, especially since faculty restrooms are not the most private places to change.. but i suppose its more private than Walmart public bathroom. Anyhoo.. since i need to wear dress slacks when i subsitute teach, and those tend to not give much diaper room.. i need a discreet trim fitting diaper... my first thought was Tena slip maxi..but, alas, they are out of stock on XP's website. Thus, i went ahead and ordered a bag of wellness superio since i had good results from when i wore wellness... I definetly remember them being less bulky and bulgy than the A+ diapers..

Id like to hear input on what folks find works for them on extended wear thats discreet under dress clothes.. Has anyone tried the northshore care brand? would they be as discreet?
Peace out!

Rob

Hi

I note from your post that Medicaid only cover Attends. In am in the UK and during the day I wear Attends Active Slip Regular Plus. For me they look just like normal underwear and are very decreet the absorbshion for me is perfect and I wear fixation briefs to acheive a snugger fit.

Rob,

I'm very impressed with the new extended wear diaper Northshore has marketed. I think its better than the Abena M4, and just as absorbent as the Dry 24/7 with a much better fit without all the bulk. However, quality does not come cheap but if you only wore this diaper on special occasions maybe that would be your best option. You can get free samples so I would say give it a try and see what you think.

Good luck.

John, where exactly can you get samples? I did not see a place on Northshore Care's site for them..can you point me in the right direction?

I used the "Contact Us" area and sent a message through the website asking for samples. They were very responsive. Alternately you could call them and ask for samples as well.
