Hey all.. First, i must admit i am relatively new to wearing premium extended wear diapers.. I don't usually wear them in my day to day life.. i have worn and used my medicaid provided attends.. operating on a change when wet basis.. thus, i am less expereinced with premium diapers.. so i guess i don't know how exactly its supposed to fit versus a standard diaper.. and I'm also learning when it comes to taping.. taping too tight versus too loose.. I always try to tape as tight as i can... and a good rule of thumb for me is that i have a good seal at the legs without gaps..
With Gary's A+4 i was excited to read about the improvements, and was eager to try the new and improved version.. and it had been a while since i wore them, so I forgot how they fit the last time i wore them. this time around.. it did seem that the wings did not leave much wiggle room.. and if i pulled too hard on the tabs they would rip.. so i pulled the tape as tight as i could without ripping it.. and the first two times i put on a brief succesfully..(one time i did not becuase the tape ripped off in my hand), the waistband both front and back had gaps between my belly and the front of the diaper.. do i need to up a size? I did try to tape tighter on the top and it seemed to eliminate the gapping waisband issue.. I don't want to use up too many diapers on the test phase, because i won't have a lot left for actual extended wear use.
I would appreciate comments and suggestions.. did anyone else have issues with fit using this product?
Peace out!
Rob
PS.. forgot to say im currently using a size medium.. and i really want to make this diaper work if i can because it has all the absorbency i would need in an extended wear and have a lower price..
