I’m currently strictly Northshore supremes in xl with a booster pad. Day and night. When I’m unable to wear my prosthetic leg (like now. I have an infection) I get around on my knees and use my arms/good leg to hurl myself up onto the bed/into a chair or into my wheelchair and this puts a lot of wear on my diaper. I’ve found with a booster the supremes hold up just fine. I’ve been through hell and back trying to figure out something that works and I’m grateful to have found something

Betterdry in XL with a booster pad (night) or without a booster pad (day). I'm in between sizes L and XL but I feel more comfortable in XL, especially with a booster pad.

Unfortunately, I can't use Northshore supremes as shipping costs from US to Europe are too high.

Since when do betterdrys come in an xl? Last I checked they only went up to L. Is this something new?

XL size is quite new, indeed. Maybe this size is not yet available in US. It's a German brand and they are manufactured in Europe as well.

I don't know whether Betterdrys sold in the US come from Europe or are manufactured in the US.

Before they come in an xl, I was wearing another European brand : ID Slips. Unfortunately they stopped making plastic backed diapers. I still buy this brand for my pull-ups (I also like Abena's).

Northshore MegaMax, with a booster pad. For longer periods between changes I layer this with a cloth pullup then plastic pants.

I just can’t get the MegaMax to work for me. I don’t know if it’s sizing or what but I have had major leaks. I’ve given up on them.

My normal daytime diaper is a Tranquility "Smart Core" (cloth outer cover) or an Abena L4. Depending on the situation I'll add a Guard pad or folded cloth pad to increase the capacity. I do have ComfiDry 24/7's and Better Drys but I only use them when I know it won't be easy to change in a timely manner, like at a sporting event. At night it's a McKesson Ultra with one or two folded cloth pads, a cotton granny panty, and then Leakmaster PUL pants.

you are not the only one in the mega max boat there i can not get them to come up high enough on me to stop any over the top leaks

I use the Seni SuperPlus as my normal daytime diaper.

I have been a loyal northshore care customer since the abena M3 was no longer plastic backed. I use the NS lite with a booster pad during most days and a NS supreme and booster pad at night. I will also wear the NS supreme with no booster during the day. I use the mega max when traveling or nights when the wine has been flowing, which is often lately.
