I have tried both pull and plastic pants. For me plastic pants last only 3-6 months depending on care. Polyurethane have lasted me for years with proper care. My choice is the latter. Since I only bed wet, I need diapers and plastic pants at night.

I too us the garywear active briefs. Own three pairs. The only time I have had a leak was my fault. There were recommended by the good people at LLmedico and I use them every night, and when going to be away from the house a long time due to my bladder and bowel issues. (As long as i don't eat before I go out I am normally okay for a few hours but lately that has not been the case)

Driwear pants are made for disposable diapers whereas Leakmaster are made for cloth. Therefore the crotch width of the Driwear ones are shorter, therefore they are less bulky. However I have noticed that the leg openings on Large are a little smaller on the Driwear pants. Both brands are well made and have lasted a long time for me.

I always get the tape covered elastics as the bare ones are annoying after wearing for a couple of hours.

Just got my first pair of Euroflex pants.

They're great!! I have the same positive opinions as others here.

Only concern: (as many have stated) they're LOUD. I think I can dampen the noise under some clothes, but these may end up being just a bedtime/at home solution.

I love how these fit, and how cool they are. It's been +95°F here for the last week and a half, with 70% humidity. These are noticeably more comfortable.

It has gotten a little warm in Arizona this week (108F). Had to spend some time outdoors and wore a day weight ACD diaper with 2 cloth boosters and their Leakmaster PUL pants. The combination was remarkably comfortable in the heat. Really no perspiration added to my usual "leakage".

I have found that two thinner weight Birdseye weave cloth diapers (as compared to a single thicker diaper) to be much more comfortable than disposables in the Texas heat and humidity. I haven’t noticed PUL pants to be any cooler than the thin, light weight, very durable Euroflex (urethane) pants, though I wear PUL pants from ACD a fair amount because they’re quieter but thicker.
A DEFINITE plus is that cloth doesn’t bunch! Clumps show up and adversely affect the ability to absorb further wetness.
Unfortunately, the bulk of cloth isn’t for everyone if outside the home. I think there’s a fair number of people who use cloth at night though.
